1/72 Academy F/A-18C

by Geoffrey Abreu on December 8, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the Academy 1/72 F/A-18C. I built this OOB with the exception of the ejection seat which I believe was from Quickboost. I painted it with Model Master enamels and the decals are from MAW and were excellent. A very nice kit to build [...]

Two Tanks

by Gary Brantley on December 7, 2012 · in Armor · 12 ≡

Here are a few pics of my only armor models. One is the Tamiya Panther Pzkpfw. V Ausf. A and the other is the Italeri M24 Chaffee light tank. Both are 1/35 scale. These are the only two I've built so far and I think they are easier [...]

Revell 1/48 F/A -18 Hornet

by Gary Brantley on December 7, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the old Revell kit, from 1990. I built it several years ago, and recently got around to photographing her at the airport. I did use an aftermarket decal set, the SuperScaleInternational set 48-346. It's pretty much built OOB, [...]

Special Hobby Reggiane 2002

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 7, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Another 1/48 offering with an interesting history if you're into the obscure and obsolete. Not bad to build, an improvement over some of their other kits. Not as interesting as some of the other Italian camo schemes, but it grew on me. [...]

Kitbashed Nunguesser’s Nieuport 25

by Merrill Anderson on December 7, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I made this a while back, but although not as good as some of my work, I was proud of this effort. It started with a friend giving me a 1/48 resin fuselage for a late model Nieuport, from some forgotten maker. It was two halves, with only [...]

Revell’s F-101B Voodoo in 1/72 scale

by Petri Ola on December 7, 2012 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is my most recent completion: the little Revell Voodoo in 1/72 scale finished in the colors of 444FIS. The kit is very nice even straight out of the box, but I ended up adding additional detail to several places. Firstly, wanted to [...]
