by Tom Bebout on January 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Started in 23 but finally finished is my first completion in 2024. It is the old A/M P-51C kit which is a P-51B with the tail fillet joint. For some reason I seem to be concentrating on checker tail birds especially those from the 325th [...]

1/48 Nieuport 10

by Robert L Hart on January 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Special Hobby kit. A reasonable kit, but I ended up having to fix some weird alignment issues. I struggled to get the proper stagger while maintaining the correct gap between the upper and lower wings. In the end, I think that the gap is [...]

Fokker D.VII's

by gary sausmikat on January 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 46 ≡

Hi All, Finally finished five Fokkers! Though a rewarding project, at times it was tedious (fiddly kit parts, keeping each build parts separated, lozenge decals) and monotonous (over and over steps X 5). I am pleased with the outcome but [...]
