Flying Barrel What-if part 1!

by Magnus Fridsell on April 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Swedish cold-war icon Saab J 29 was known as the "flying barrel" and even if it made sterling service defending the Swedish skies, many people feel that it was never developed to its full potential. One of these people, we can [...]

by jorge rivas krause on April 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

The raisen Zero!, probably my favourite plane of all times. I have model it in almost every scale and configuration and this time I'm presenting the 1/72 Fine Molds available only with number 276/277 of Model Graphix magazine. I just love [...]

by John Orenski on April 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Hello out there, New around here so I thought I might post some of my work. This particular kit was built around the time I returned to the hobby so I learned quite a bit. As I recall the fit was tough in places. The fuselage is molded in [...]

Inspired by Erich's excellent rendition I thought I would add my own version of this "hypothetical" aircraft. It will have some of you seeing doubles, but I think its cool. I have always enjoyed seeing how two different [...]

Tamiya 1/48th Scale Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow)

by Erich Goldbach on April 25, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a Monogram 1?24th Packard Phaeton. Built OOB. Spray painted with enamel paint from the little Testors bottle. If I remember correctly I was paying 5 cents for the when I began painting my models. This whole series of Monogram [...]

Not a build article, but a nostalgia picture

by Rob Anderson on April 25, 2013 · in Armor · 4 ≡

Wonder who may have built one of these in the past? I got one for a present as a kid when they were brand new and the hottest thing on the market. It was lost in one of my Navy moves years ago and I have wanted one ever since, so I [...]

by Drew Tarter on April 25, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Here's a Crusader that I built several years ago, a Monogram F-8E that I converted to a J model, which I have ugraded over time. I added an aftermarket seat, and a flap/droop/underwing bay set by High Flight. I scribed lines on the leading [...]
