Revell Hawker Hunter F.MK.6

by Stephen W Towle on December 16, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This has got to be one of the all time classic's of fighters of the 50's and is right up there with the F-86 in the looks dept. Once I saw the kit sitting on the shelves of my local hobby store it got adopted and brought home. The paint [...]

Another Monogram B-25

by Tom Cleaver on December 16, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is "Ruthie", done from the same Bombshell Decals sheet Steve Towle did "Solid Jackson" from - I sent around the decals I got for review and six of us did models from the decals for a "group review" at [...]

Monogram 1/72 F-11c Hawk

by Merrill Anderson on December 16, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

I got this kit at a club auction, in a plastic baggie, with instructions, but sans decals. I built it out of nostalgia for old kits, built when I was younger, but with an adult 'eye'. I replaced the missing decals with a borrowed 1/48 kit [...]

Time for another ship – “Big Mamie”

by Tom Cleaver on December 15, 2012 · in Ships · 5 ≡

Trumpeter 1/350 USS Massachusetts (BB-59). First US battleship to fire its guns in anger at another battleship since the Spanish American War (versus French "Jean Bart" during the North African invasion). Tom's Modelworks [...]

1/48th Tamiya Bf 109E4

by Walt on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is just a fun little kit and with all the 109's showing up I thought I might put up this one. I usually build a little more weathered, but I still like this one. I built Galland's plane, adding the telescopic site through the [...]

A-10 Warthog 1/48 Monogram

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the model that got me back into the hobby after a decade long absence, 1/48 Monogram A-10 with a few tweaks. While being fairly well immobilized by a foot injury, I found two Monogram A-10s in my closet. I gave one to my 10 year [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109F-4

by Tom Cleaver on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Since everybody likes 109s, here's the long-awaited Hasegawa Bf-109F-4, done as Marseille's "Gelbe 14" with Lifelike Decals. Paints are Xtracrylix, "sun faded." Model done last year when it was first released. The [...]

1/32 Bf-109B-2

by Tom Cleaver on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The Eduard Bf-109E-1 modified to Bf-109B-2 with the Alley-Cat conversion set. Very easy. There's been no end of confusion over the camouflage the first Bf-109B's were in when sent to Spain. I agree with Lynn Ritger's research, that they [...]

Republic F-84F Thunderstreak Monogram 1/48

by Gary Brantley on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Maybe it's my age, well, I was born in 1952 after all, but I really like the jets from the '50s. To me, they just look like a jet fighter is supposed to. It seems that to aircraft designers back then, there was no limit to their [...]

Monogram B-25J “Solid Jackson”

by Stephen W Towle on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This model is one of my favorite Monogram kits. Their B-25 has a typical Monogram fit of being a little loose in the fit dept and is not up to days standards of CAD designed engineered models. However, with some modeling skill,filler and [...]
