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 [...]

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 [...]

Tony Fokker’s Greatest Hits

by Merrill Anderson on December 25, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Three Eduard 1/48 kits, done pretty close to 'out of the box', fussy but excellent kits. One note, the Triplane is greener than the photos, some error by me in lighting or camera setting,the streaking was done with oil paints over [...]

Building The “Double Hun” in 48th scale.

by Jack Mugan on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

It has been 30 years or so since I built the Monogram F-100D “Super Sabre”, one of my favorite airplanes and one of my favorite models. I still have it in the display case after all these years. Several years ago I got a hold of a [...]

ProModeler P-47N

by Stephen W Towle on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Monogram continued their line of P-47's by doing the N model with engraved panel lines that are sharp on wings and soft on fuselage and Ok on the tail. In other words there is some in consistency of the last production model of the Jug [...]

Right, next video I make I promise I will shut off my laptop so that you don't get that incessant hiss from its fan all the way through the damn video!

Rest Models 1/48 I-5

by Maxim Bylkin on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Continue with Soviet aircraft) - now the Polikarpov I-5. Resin model is not new, and therefore rare. Going a little worse than I-3, and the quality is the same casting is excellent. Enjoy all the viewing.

1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Type 32

by one4832 on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This kit is certainly showing it's age as the detail is very limited and its very basic when compared with today's releases from Tamiya or Hasegawa. The engine is only half molded, and the kit is an odd mix of raised (which I rescribed) [...]

1/48 ICM P-51B

by one4832 on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This is ICM's knock off of the Tamiya kit. It is so close that the parts are virtually interchangeable. However that is where all similarities end. This kit is nowhere nearly as well engineered as the Tamiya kit and given it's low price [...]
