Supermarine Seafire XV in 1/48

by Nick Newell on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Let me start by saying I’m not the world’s greatest modeller. Nor am I the fastest. I am however a Spitfire/Seafire-holic and what you’re now looking at is a seven month labour of love. But let’s start at the beginning… This is [...]

For those who can’t afford the big Tamiya – try the 21 Century Toys Corsair

by Tom Cleaver on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here is the 21st Century Toys F4U-1A Corsair, done as Ike Kepford's VF-17 F4U-1A, and another one modified with the Montex conversion set to do an anonymous Marine F4U-1 "birdcage" circa the Rabaul campaign in late [...]

1/48 Monogram Stuka

by Joe Caputo on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Another nice, old kit from one of our favorite companies of years past. As with most Monogram models of that era, a fairly straight forward build yeilds a decent looking replica. These kits provide a good starting platform for [...]

Hi My father has finished a new model to our glider collection. This model was made completely from scratch. Here are the final photos. I hope you like it. Cheers Santiago

1/72 Airfix Short Sunderland

by Joe Caputo on August 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This was another old kit that I decided to "experiment" on. Since I already had a 2nd kit to build "stock", I thought I'd back date this to an earlier Mark. This required moving the top turret and changing the hull. [...]

1/32 Seafire L. Mk.III.

by Erich Goldbach on August 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This modeling project was done about 10 years ago and is the results of a conversion of the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Spitfire Mk.Vb to a Seafire L. Mk.III. This build was a joint venture. The basic building, cockpit interior and resin Seafire [...]

1/72 Matchbox F-86 Sabre

by Joe Caputo on August 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

One of our club's themes, was "Snake Bit", or, "something with a snake". (I think the theme was chosen by a car builder, with a Shelby Cobra). Wanting to do something quick (and it shows), I chose the Matchbox F-86 [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1a Corsair

by Bernard Wylie on August 1, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 15 ≡

I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.

Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 31, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 15 ≡

This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]
