Ferrari air racer

by Robert Bausch on November 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Back in the 1980s, I thought of doing a model of a hypothetical Ferrari air racer. I used the 1/48 Monogram F-105G kit, one of the 2 seaters, removing the 2nd cockpit. I had already done this to make the F-105D, as Monogram had not yet [...]

Wingnut Wings 1/32 Gotha G.IV

by Jim Coatney on November 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Here are some images of my Wingnut Wings Gotha G.IV. Despite its size (almost 30 inch wing span) and complexity, this kit goes together amazingly well. It has to be the best engineered model I've built. It is built mostly out of the box; [...]

The First Guppy

by Jeff Thomsen on November 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 38 ≡

Here's a conversion in 1/72 scale of the "Pregnant Guppy", the first of Aero Spacelines' series of "Guppy" outsize cargo airplanes. The Pregnant Guppy, Super Guppy, and Mini Guppy were based in my home town and they [...]

HK Models 1/32 B-17G – the Big one!

by Chris Wallace on November 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

So far so good - but time consuming to pick out all those parts and paint individually. Hopefully some of the work is seen after I close up the fuselage!

Dynavector 1/48 Hornet F.1

by Tom Cleaver on November 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

A further demonstration from Ron's Skyshark of how good Dynavector vacuforms are. This being the Dynavector 1/48 deHavilland Hornet F.1, which I think is one of the best looking twin piston engine airplanes ever made. The initial concept [...]

This the 1/72 scale kit from Mobius .No mods just a good piece of wood to mount it on.

1/48 Pro Modeler VB-83 Curtis SB2C-4 Helldiver

by Mark Beckwith on November 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Inspired by Tom's posting the other day of an "Essex" Helldiver, here's mine from VB83. I built this one basically OOB with some minor scratch built additions to the cockpit. Construction was simple and straight-forward, I was [...]

And in it was an Eduard weekend edition 1/48 Hellcat MkII! I've never built a Hellcat before and am definitely looking forward to this one. Thank you Martin and iModeler!

Fine Molds, 1/48, Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui interceptor.

by Ulrich Schütt on November 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This little bugger was a birthday present from my brother. It's the second Fine Molds kit I've build and I must say it's not as good as Tamigawa stuff. Not a great fit of the parts, instructions leave much to be desired. Had to use my [...]
