Falcon 1/48 Spitfire F.R.XVIII – vacuform

by Tom Cleaver on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This was done about 2004. The Falcon 1/48 F.R. XVIII vacuform. Still the most accurate Spitfire XIV/XVIII in 1/48. I used a resin cockpit (something I had, nobody can really tell the detail differences between Spitfire cockpits in 1/48 [...]

Summing up 2012!

by Magnus Fridsell on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Not a very good year modelling-wise with only three kits finished. The fact that two of them are very small doesn't make it more impressive either! So here we go, two MiG-21s from Eduard in 1/144 scale. One Slovak one in the [...]

Hasegawa 1/32nd Messerschmitt Bf109G-14

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This short-tailed Bf109G-14 was the benificiary of a tail swap from their Hartmann 109G-6 kit. It was built to represent the mount of Lt. Heinz Ewald of 7./JG-52 while based at Veszprem, Hungary in the Fall of 1944. Ewald survived the [...]

1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt

by Anders Isaksson on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the wonderful Tamiya kit built out of the box with only a set of Eduard pre-painted seatbelts added along with an aftermarket decal sheet used to mark this one as 'My Gal Sal' from 378th FS/362nd FG based in England during [...]

by Matt Mears on December 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Hey Guys latest build, my 1/48 Tamiya F-16 Tried my first bleaching affect on the top of the aircraft to give it a weathered look and then put a wash on, Let me know what you think ! Thanks Matty

DML/Dragon 1/48 Ju-188A-4

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This one took a while-both due to the quirkiness of the build and my indecision as to a paint scheme. Most of the kit decals were suspect so I ended up hitting the spares box. As a result, this example may have been active in the Baltic or [...]

Special Hobby 1/32 Nieuport 11

by Tom Cleaver on December 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is the Special Hobby 1/32 kit of the Nieuport 11 "Bebe", done OOB. It's the only model out there in this scale of the airplane, and looks very nice sitting next to any WNW kit.

1/35 M24 Chaffee

by Anders Isaksson on December 27, 2012 · in Armor · 9 ≡

This little scene portrays a Chaffee with its crew scouting for enemy activity on the outskirts of a German town during the late winter of 1945. The kit used is the newish Bronco offering built largely out of the box. As is typical for [...]

1/48th Dragon Ho-229B Nachtjager

by Walt on December 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I enjoy building WWII Luftwaffe night fighters. When I saw this kit I jumped at it. I loved the idea of the flying wing night fighter with Hs298 air-to-air missles. This was my second Dragon kit and it followed the same build pattern [...]

by Tolga ULGUR on December 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here is my 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IIa finished with the markings of “421 Flight” from RAF Hawkinge. RAF Hawkinge is a former Royal Air Force station located in Kent, near to the south coast and the closest airfield to the French [...]
