D'Antin Pramac Ducati GP4

by George Williams on July 31, 2013 · in Automotive · 13 ≡

Hi folks, just to round off July with something different. Following on from the Honda posted earlier, this is a more up to date offering, another Tamiya 1/12 kit. Team d'Antin Pramac are a private Spanish team, and in 2005 had a deal to [...]

Convair 240, 1/72 Mach II kit. United Air Lines

by Frank Cronin on July 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

A few articles back I responded to a contributor that I am of the "I know where the mistakes are and I am not going to tell you" philosophy. Well, here is an example... This is the Mach II 1/72 kit of the Convair C-131. First let [...]

Monogram A-26 part 2

by Jaime Carreon on July 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

As promised, a few shots of the A-26 on a base with her pilot. George, it only took 11 weeks this time...! The base is a scrap piece of 3/4 oak plywood I had lying around. The edge was routered to make it look a little nicer. The [...]

1/48 AA FBC-1 ("Soaring Flying The Leopard")

by Joe Caputo on July 30, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 3 ≡

This is a BIG aircraft, and a very basic, inexpensive kit of a Chinese fighter in demonstration team colors. Everything about this kit is minimal, including detail and decals, but the overall size is impressive, and it looks [...]

Ted Taylor RIP

by Tom Cleaver on July 30, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 6 ≡

I just heard this morning that UK "modelling legend" Ted Taylor passed away yesterday of the crime of growing old enough to do so. (We're all headed toward that "guilty" verdict) I only knew him the way I know most [...]

Geneseo Air Show!

by Billy Smith on July 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Wow it has been a long time since I've posted on here, but I do like to poke my head in every so often 🙂 Recently I've been working on a p-61 (which I feel is coming along horrendous). Also in other news I just picked up tonight a [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Desert Storm A-7E

by Dan DeSilva on July 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

As I love the F4U Corsair, I also love one other aircraft that carried the name- this one, Hasegawa's 1/48 A-7E Corsair II built as a Desert Storm HARM launcher. I am flabbergasted at the lack of operational Desert Storm A-7E markings out [...]

VF(N)-101 F4U-2

by Tom Cleaver on July 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-2 Corsair in VF(N)-101 markings. More recent research suggests the side color may not be black, but rather fresh Sea Blue over the Intermediate Blue, but as of five years ago, this is how the VF(N)-101 night [...]

Roden 1/48 Sopwith-Strutter 1 1/2 VVS RKKA

by Maxim Bylkin on July 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Hello everyone! Another airplane with red stars, this time from Roden Sopwith Strutter. The assembly of the box, nothing special, and the option selected "based on". Of the shortcomings - too shiny hood, but it is only in the [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-4B VMFA-122

by Dan DeSilva on July 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Hi All, I am glad to finally finish this particular kit. It sat partially assembled for years with a Black Box cockpit, and decals ready to go. I added Seamless S*****s intakes, Cobra Co Exhausts, and used an Eduard F-4 canopy etch set for [...]
