Santa Fe Airways Sky Chief Acoma

by Tom Rodgers on November 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

My wife comes from a Santa Fe Railroad family. Many of her family members worked for the railroad or were Harvey Girls in the famous Fred Harvey restaurants that served the lines’ passengers. One day about a year ago, I saw a decal sheet [...]

Phönix C. I, Flik 28J, Stwf. Leopold Braunecker, observer Oblt. Theodor Neuwirth von Neufeis, Art studio, 1:48,

by Milan Tesař on November 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Since this 1:48 scale type is in short supply, I purchased a 3-d print from Art studio who had a short offer on facebook. For 57 euros you get a plastic bag with a fuselage, wings and wheels and an engine - the only decent thing in this [...]

Airfix 1/48 Avro Anson Mk.I

by Alistair Gauld on November 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

This really is a kit of opposites. The cockpit internals and the overall fit is beautiful but the fit of the nacelles leaves a little to be desired. Nothing a spot of filler and plasticard can't fix but it was a surprise after the ease of [...]

WNW 1:32 In progress shots show fuselage first painted via tape masks to get the lozenge finish( took forever!) which is then over-sprayed with a grey-blue ( took 5 mins !)allowing a hint of lozenge to show through.. Upper centre wing and [...]

Malta blues: Suggestions to ease the assembly process of Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Vs.

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 5, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Eduard's 1/48th Spitfire variants are considered the best in the scale thanks to the high detailing standard of parts and the delicate surface texture. However, the building process is complex because many of the parts are fiddly and the [...]

Monogram 1/48 Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star – Shelf Of Doom Rescue

by Carl Smoot on November 5, 2023 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

This kit was the first one I bought back in 2017 when I returned to the hobby. It was a bagged kit with no instructions and the decals were trashed. I think I paid $3.00 for it. It has gone through heck getting to this point. I will refer [...]

Albatros D.II, 1-48, Eduard, pilot Lt. Ludwig Hanstein, Jasta 35, 16 victories.

by Milan Tesař on November 4, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I'm more of a glue stick than a modeler, but you might like it anyway. Used Eduard turnbuckles, fishing line strings. Brushed Revell paint, HGW decal wood. Ludwig Hanstein about ten minutes after scoring his final victory on 21 March 1918, [...]
