by Gary Brantley on February 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Curtis P-40B and the Mitsubishi A6M5 Type 0 in 1/48 scale. Both of these were built at least 20 years ago but I only got them out to the airport last year for a photo session. Both reveal my limitations as a model builder back then, [...]

by Tom Cleaver on February 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Back in 2004, a modeler sent me what turned out to be a Monogram P-40B kit in a box of other parts. Looking at it, I realized it was a first-generation mold, from way back in 1965 when the kit first came out (a date I remember since it [...]

Eduard Bf 110D-3 ZG-26

As I struggle with the second model from the Royal Class '110 kit, I have to look back at the first to keep myself motivated. These buggers are not easy builds. but with perseverance, they can turn out real nice. This on is pretty much [...]

Westland Wyvern in 1/48 scale from Trumpeter.

by Tony Prince on February 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Trumpeter have really done us proud. Not only do they issue well engineered (mostly) kits, but they produce models you are unlikely to see from other manufacturers for anything like the price. My Wyvern was built out-of-the-box with only [...]

by Walt on February 10, 2013 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

As kid I loved the line of Monogram 1/48th scale aircraft models. Their bomber series let you build highly detailed good looking models that represented the planes that won the war in Europe and the Pacific. I always liked the B-25 G [...]
