1/48 Monogram P-39 Airacobra

by Joe Caputo on September 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here's another one we've all built, the trusted, old, Mongram P-39 airacobra. I've been led to understand that this was Monogram's first attempt at a "serious" scale model. It was my second time around with it, and I still [...]

Nakajima’s Demon-Killer – Hasegawa 1/32 Ki/44 “Shoki” (Tojo)

by Tom Cleaver on September 15, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This Hasegawa Ki.44-1b "Shoki" is built essentially out of the box, other than the use of Eduard JAAF seatbelts. It depicts a Ki.44 flown on home defense by the 47th Sentai, the most effective unit flying the Ki.44 in opposing [...]

1/72 Antares Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk

by Joe Caputo on September 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is one of those subjects that fills a void, nothing more. By most 1/72 standards, this kit is crude. The most eye catching part is also the worse part, the canopy. This would have been a great piece to vac-u-form, as it's pretty [...]

1/72 AMT/Matchbox Hunting Percival Provost T Mk. 1

by Joe Caputo on September 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The name is longer than the model. This was an easy build, and addition to my British trainers. The last couple shots show size comparison with the DeHavilland Chipmunk. Both are dwarfed by the T-28 Trojan. of the same era.. At this [...]

Airliners!

by John Healy on September 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I'm currently working on a 1/144 Minicraft DC-8 and Zvezda Tu-154M as a change of pace. I realized that the last airliners I built were the A330 and 767 shown here. I thought I would share them. The A330 is a Revell kit built in 1998. [...]

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 13, 2013 · in Ships · 5 ≡

When launched, the Columbo Express was the largest ship in the world, capable of hauling 1800 containers of cargo at once. She was the largest ship ever launched to be driven by just one propeller. Yet, despite her size, she is crewed by [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 Ki. 61-I hei

by Tom Cleaver on September 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

To my mind, the Ki.61 is the best-looking Japanese fighter of World War II. This is the Hasegawa kit, built OOB other than use of Lifelike Decals. The Ki. 61 was one of the few Japanese fighters that could even get to the altitude the [...]
