Eduard 1/48 Roland C.II

by Mike Wood on March 20, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This is the weekend edition of the kit and was built entirely OOB. This was my first attempt at a WW1 subject and it gave me the opportunity to try out a number of new (for me) modelling techniques. The kit goes together fairly well, [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-5 “Minsi III”

by Tom Cleaver on March 20, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is the Hasegawa 1/48 F5F-5 with the Cutting Edge cowling, True Details canopy, and Aerostar Decals to do "Minsi III," flown by CDR Dave McCampbell, the Navy Ace of Aces and the #3 American Ace of the war. His record of 34 [...]

AMT 1:48 scale P-40F, "Warhawk"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Another P-40 model, and this one is NOT built OOB like the previous builds. The basic kit isn't bad, but it isn't one of those, "I gotta build it" kits like Hasegawa or Tamiya. However, I you want to build an 'F' or an 'L' model [...]

Smoke (rings) Gets In Your Eyes…

by Stan Traas on March 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

First of all, no... I am NOT that good with an airbrush... smoke rings are Mike Grant decals. Something a bit different for me (it wasn't built in Germany) 😉 - The Hase 1/48 Mc-205 Veltro. Added a bunch of Eduard P-E, some modified QB [...]

Lindberg F-11 Tiger

by Troy Brindack on March 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is my latest model, Lindberg F-11 Tiger. I did it as a presentation model.

Ready to start building again!

by Rob Anderson on March 19, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

Well after a move up the coast, trauma from incompetent movers, lots of work the smaller West Seattle man cave (Man cubby?) is ready to build in. Flipped a coin between the USS Livermore and the great 109 kit I won here last month, and as [...]

Gotta keep up with the Seitz’s…1/48 P-40’s I got….

by Bill Koppos on March 18, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

start with this'un, a 57th FG "Scorpion", a Hasegawa "K". I believe the pilot's name was Overcash, a successful Ace. Turns out this decal sheet I used was not entirely accurate, but the skull is still cool. This Sand [...]

1/72 Hasegawa SP-5B Marlin

by Tom Cleaver on March 17, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

This model is special to me, because I actually flew in the real one several times "back in the day." "Seashell-5" (her call sign) was with VP-40 for most of her career. I most particularly remember the most [...]

1:32 scale Trumpeter P-47D-15-Re, “Thunderbolt”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Restarting a long stalled project from the "Shelf of DOOM"... After building the Hasegawa kit, (Which is a fine model by the way) I decided to get into THIS kit, because other than the old Revell offering, it's the only 1:32 [...]

1:32 scale, Hasegawa P-47M-1-Re, "Thunderbolt"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is another one of my "Jugs" that currently reside at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY. I think between Koppos and myself, we have a few there... ;). It's a big model, so before you get into building her, make [...]
