Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

My latest. Literally no putty, easy build, but kicked my own arse a few times by screwing it up. Splashed thinner on it after it was "done", and had to re-flat coat, among other exercises. Built OOB with the exception of seat [...]

Faux pas II

by John Jeffers on March 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Craig, your not the only one with S.M.S. ( Senior Moment Syndrome ) I posted this on another site and didn't catch the faux pas until the comments started coming in. The wing is suppose to say... "Miami"

Monogram 1/48 F-4C and Hasegawa ground equipment

by Chris Sakowski on March 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I guess this is the only thing I have that may remotely count as a diorama. I built this for my dad about 20 years ago and gave it to him for Christmas. It actually has a glass cover. I used Monogram's F-4C Phantom II kit straight from [...]

Tamiya 1:48, Mitsubishi Isshirikko type 11 G4M1 “Betty”

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

This one I've build a couple of years ago. Tamiya did a very great job on this one! It was a nice plane to build. Bought the Eduard mask for the canopy, blisters and tailgun parts but it was a PITA. They were thick and peeled of after [...]

P 232/2

by Ted Leaman on March 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I finally finished this beast! My first model in... (mental math taking place) about 8 years. I think there are a few more things that could be done to this, but I'm sticking a fork in this one! Enjoy! Feedback is welcome. You can follow [...]

Tamiya 1:48 scale Mitsubishi A6M3, Model 22 “Zero”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Tamiya had released a bunch of Japanese WWII aircraft way back in the late 1970's early 1980's and, at the time, they were the cutting edge of modeling technology. Even today with all the advancements they are still pretty good and can be [...]

Winner!

by Rob Anderson on March 12, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

My kit from the February drawing arrived today and it is great. Believe it or not I can't remember the last time I built a 109, maybe as a kid? What a great week, finished my probationary period in my post-Navy job and got my white hard [...]

Camouflage and Markings of the North American P-51 Mustang

by Editor on March 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Another reprint from my editorial archives is this camouflage feature by Mr Rick Kent, originally posted at the pages of IPMS Stockholm – Ed. The Mustang did not gain it's immortal fame until this American airframe was married with the [...]
