Another Monogram Panther

by Gary Brantley on May 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Tom's fine looking Panther and great story inspired me to dig up a few pics of my modest effort. An older build that finally made it out to the airport. This is the 1/48 Panther, painted with MM gloss dark blue. I would've liked to take [...]

by Tom Cleaver on May 10, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

By rights, Grumman F9F-5 Panther BuNo 125459 should be the most famous Panther of all, and her pilot, Lieutenant Royce Williams, the most famous Panther pilot of all. However, immediately after the event for which this acclaim should [...]

Trumpeter MiG-15 in 1/32 scale

by Tony Prince on May 10, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This one is an early (very early) Trumpeter release, generously given to me by a friend who chickened out when he opened the box. This is not intended to be unfair to Trumpeter, who have given us some superb kits, but like with any 'new [...]

Mitsubishi Ki-46 (Dinah)

by steven a weinmann on May 10, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

I think this was a Tamiya kit but not sure I chose a heavily worn scheme on this one and tried something different by first painting it silver than chipping off paint to expose the silver I think it worked pretty well would love some [...]
