Boeing 247 1/72 Williams Brothers

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on March 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Built basically OOB from the Williams Bothers kit in 1/72. I wanted a different aircraft than the supplied decals so registration markings were pieced together by cutting up the kit decals and the outline of the United States hand painted [...]

Yay! Half a day today. Figured I’d post one up…Pac Coast Hurricane I….

by Bill Koppos on March 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Fabric wing model 1/32 scale. To me the early Hurricanes are the best looking-that pointy nose just does it. The Pacific Coast kit is pretty good, the only big issue being poor wing fit. It has a real good interior, nice surface detail and [...]
