Douglas Bader Hurricane, 1/32

by Tom Cleaver on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is Bader's second Hurricane I when he commanded 242 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. PCM 1/32 kit. OOB, but modified since (as usual) the Caruana drawings left a bit to be desired in the accuracy department. Had the [...]

Rest Models 1/48 Polikarpov I-3

by Maxim Bylkin on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a resin model of the Ukrainian company Rest Models, now - a rarity. In the assembly, there were no problems, in the drawings bear too well. As the prototype was selected fighter squadron Dzerzhinsky, Moscow, 1932. Painted the Gunze [...]

SNJ / T-6 1/48th scale Revell / Monogram

by John Jeffers on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Back in the 60's and early 70's it wasn't uncommon to drive through rural airports and come across an ex-Military aircraft on the tarmack. After WWII you could buy one. And many were bought and flown to airports all over the country. Some [...]

1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb Trop

by Anders Isaksson on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the Tamiya kit with a few PE and resin bits added. Rivets were added using Rosie The Riveter tools. All markings were painted on using Montex paint masks and the stencilling comes from Hobby Decal dry transfers, eliminating the [...]

Roden 1/32 Fokker Dr.I – Manfred von Richtofen

by Tom Cleaver on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Probably one of the most recognizeable airplanes in history. Done back in 2004 when the kit first came out, using the Cutting Edge decal sheet. Lots of good history in the sheet, I think this is from the research the most accurate look [...]

Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28

by Tom Cleaver on December 12, 2012 · in Aviation

Done a few years ago when it first came out. Markings are for Eddie Rickenbacker's airplane. A nice, simple kit without a lot of rigging, good for someone just starting in the WW1 genre. To me the Nieuport 28 is one of the most [...]

MPC Zinger Corvette

by George Tufnail on December 11, 2012 · in Automotive

Every now and then I like to unwind with bit of fun, and these little kits really fit the bill. I strip the chrome so I can clean up the seam lines, then replace it with Alclad. The body is Spaz Stix Flourescent Blue from a spary bomb. [...]

BV 194 by Revell

by Tim Gillis on December 11, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I built this a few years ago, it's still one of my favourites.

Eduard Nieuport 17 1/48 scale

RNZAF F4U-1D

by John Healy on December 11, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Outstanding 1/48 Tamiya kit finished with equally outstanding decals from Aeromaster's RNZAF special package. You really can't go wrong with a Tamiya Corsair.
