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 [...]

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 [...]

Tamiya 1:48 scale Republic P-47M-1-Re, "Thunderbolt"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Another fine model from Tamiya. I won't go into a whole bit about HOW great this kit is, but suffice to say, it's awesome. The upper surfaces of the model are painted in Model Master Enamels, in a very VERY dark blue, which looks almost [...]

Hi This is a model done by my father (Raul Jose Hrubisko) one month ago. It is the Waco CG-13As. Two of this were used at the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment for trials in 1945. Since there is no kit for this model he has [...]
