Continuing the FAA theme: Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.B.2

by Tom Cleaver on November 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is my vision of the Focke Wulf 190 D9 "white 12" from 5./JG 301. It is built straight from the box with two ICM figures and a scratch built wheel yoke. I have modified the propeller and the underside center wing for a better [...]

by Rapid27 on November 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is my vision of the famous Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-13 "yellow 10". It is the Eduard Dual Combo box. I think that the 190D serie from Eduard is the finest representation of this aircraft that i have built for the moment I [...]

by Bernard Wylie on November 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This is my most recent completion. It's the Eduard ProfiPack boxing and has been around for long enough for some wear to be apparent in the moulds as evidenced by some small amounts of flash on some parts and slightly larger than normal [...]

Doggy-Style!

by Seamus Boughe on November 16, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 15 ≡

Several people, when commenting upon my recently completed 1/32 Spitfire Mk.II, said that the pilot figure looks lonely and needs a dog to keep him company. These people were preaching to the choir, though. From the start, I wanted my [...]
