Grumman Widgeon USCG

by Dan DeSilva on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I present my build of the Classic Airframes Widgeon. I chose the USCG markings because of its story, but also because I didn't have any WW2 era Coast Guard Aircraft in my collection. The USCG did a lot to protect the Eastern Seaboard. I am [...]

Accurate Miniatures F3F-1

by John Healy on November 29, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 4 ≡

This is my favorite kit of all time. 1/48 scale. I painted this entirely with Tamiya spray cans, except for the red cowl ring. The cowl ring was painted with a Testors lacquer spray can red that was an exact match for the Yellow Wings [...]

1/32 F-100D

by Rob Colvin on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Built out of the box (before all the resin was out). I stretched the wing tanks to the proper size and added napalm from a Trumpeter 1/32F-105. Thanks, Rob

1/32 hasegawa A-4e

by Rob Colvin on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I added a seat, scribed the bird, and added shrikes from a Trumpeter F-105 (which I had to fix). Paint is Floquil, Decals are kit. Thanks, Rob

by Rob Colvin on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Built out of the box. This is a fantastic resin kit! Painted with Mr. Color, glossed using the Mr Color rattle can, and the deck is from nautilus models. Thanks, Rob

MiG-21

Hi all! This is my most recent build, an Academy MiG-21. It was a pretty straightforward build, with no real problems that I can think of.

Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat 1/48

by Rickard Malmborg on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The Tamiya Wildcat was a nice kit to build, clever parts breakdown and no fit problem (as with most Tamiya kits); the only extra I put in to it was some details in the cockpit. There was a lot of talk about the floor in this kit (as the [...]

Revell Starfury

by Brett Peacock on November 28, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 2 ≡

Babylon 5 kind of grew on me slowly. I was not really impressed by the First season (the lead was and is a Charisma free Zone) but when they "brought in the Bruce" the show really took off. This is the Revell Starfury (HORRIBLE [...]

Blast from the past. 1/48 Aurora Gotha GV.

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on November 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I thought I'd join in the fun with an oldie from the back of the display case, built 27 years ago. Constructed from an original Aurora 1/48 Gotha G. V kit, the one with the hard brittle red plastic, only the basic airframe parts, [...]

And now for something…Completely Different

This is a 1/9 scale figure in Vinyl by Sol of Korea called Verona. She was primed with Auto lacquer primer in pale grey then airbrushed with Model master enamels, and finally the small details painted by hand with the trusty Hairy [...]
