1/48 Tamiya P-47 D30 "TuAF Thunderbolt"

by Tolga ULGUR on February 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here is my recently (and freshly) finished model. This is 1/48 Tamiya P-47 D30 Thunderbolt with the markings of Turkish Air Force (TuAF). The base kit is Tamiya’s P-47 M . It is built OOB except for Eduard seat belts, instrument panel [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A-7E Corsair II

by Jeff Brundt on February 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Here is my Hasegawa 1/48 A-7E 'Valions' . I had started this one back in '06 or '07 and when I got to the LE flaps I sort of ran out of steam with it so it sat on the shelf of doom until last year when I finally dusted it off and decided [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair – Ike Kepford

by Tom Cleaver on January 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

The kit itself is built OOB other than seat belts. The decals came from Cutting Edge and Aeromaster. I always find it suprising that airplanes as well-documented as VF-17's leading ace Ike Kepford's is keep turning up done wrong. [...]

Tiger I sPzAbt 503 Russia 1944

by Rob Anderson on January 31, 2013 · in Armor · 9 ≡

Well not to be a headline hog, but figured I'd add a Tank to the mix. I love armor as well.

My all time favorite build, Old Monogram Devastator.

by Rob Anderson on January 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Yellow Wings decals,fully rescribed and riveted, a lot of scratchbuilding in the interior, then just careful fitting and sanding to get a clean build. Haven't seen the Great Wall one, but I think these old legacy kits are a lot of fun and [...]

Tamiya McClaren M8

by Rob Anderson on January 30, 2013 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

Built shortly before I moved not a great kit, but fun and looks ok once done. Curbside for sure not much detail.

1/72 F-14A Tomcat

by Anders Isaksson on January 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is the Fujimi kit with Verlinden seats. The kit missile pylons did not fit very well and were exchanged for a set of pylons from the Hasegawa Tomcat. Also, Superscale decals were used to give this Tomcat the markings of VF-142 [...]

Eduard 1/48 FW 190D 9 KG(J) 27 big tail. (Now with more pictures)

by Rob Anderson on January 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Last kit completed before I moved to Seattle, haven't gotten my spot set up yet here to keep work going on my F-84.

Armee de l'Air A-24B – 1/48 Accurate Miniatures SBD-5 kit
