Monogram F-80C Shooting Star “Salty Dog”

by Gary Brantley on September 8, 2013 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I thought I had posted these pics before but it seems that I haven't. With that in mind, Tom Cleaver's generous compliments in the "Monograms at the airport" thread" moved me to show the few pics that I do have of this [...]

Disruptions in our editorial work continued last week as yours truly went through a thoroughly frustrating network and computer upgrade of my home office. Apologies to everyone for a delay -- here are the results of our August contest, [...]

Monograms at the airport

by Gary Brantley on September 8, 2013 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

In keeping with recent contributions, here's a collection of some of my 1/48 Monogram planes all photographed at the Cameron, Texas airport. I think most have been previously seen here as individual posts but here they are as a group. [...]

1/48 ESCI Henschel Hs-129

by Joe Caputo on September 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the old 1/48 ESCI Hs-129, which still holds it's own, from a distance. Like most my others, it's OOB. It was the Eastern Front, winter scheme that caught my attention after building my first Hs-129 in standard Luftwaffe camo.

Monogram 1/48 Models done long ago

by Frank Cronin on September 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

I dug up these photos of some of the models I did a long time ago. I had a brief time away from modeling and then returned in 1968. My first kit upon my return was the Monogram 1/48 Hurricane. I built it OOB and painted it with gloss paint [...]

Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/32 scale Pacific Coast Models – by Tony Prince.

by Tony Prince on September 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

There's something appealing about the more muscular shape of the Spit XIV. At the time I built this one PCM had not yet produced their XIV & the only way to get one was to use their Spitfire Mk.IX kit, do some serious surgery & add [...]

Lucky You!!! Found some OLD pitchers….

by Bill Koppos on September 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

from '05, a Hasegawa 1/48 T-Bolt I put together back in the day. This boxing featured the great post-war "braggin" scheme" of the 56th FG, and I hadda do it. Sorry about the photo quality, this was before I knew what i was [...]

1/48 Hobbycraft P-40

by Joe Caputo on September 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Standing alone, the Hobbycraft version doesn't look bad. Sitting next to all the other P-40's on my shelf, doesn't improve the looks. The landing gear is the give away. It could stand to be raised about an 1/8th of an inch. The tail [...]
