Special Hobby Bristol Blenheim Mk.1

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

1/48 , and an interesting aircraft, and usual "interpretive" build, as one needs to get the parts to somehow hold hands long enough for the glue to set. Built several years ago, sans gloss coat, panel lines or weathering. [...]

Welsh Models Resin 1/144 scale CP-107 Argus MkI FINISHED!!!

by George Tufnail on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I’m gonna call this one done, before I fiddle with it some more and maybe cause a disaster. I was nearly ready to be completed last week, but then AMS set in and I decided I had to add most of the tiny little antennae that are festooned [...]

1/32 Tamiya Spitfire IX

by Tom Cleaver on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation

Without a doubt, the Tamiya Spitfires are "definitive." Personally, I prefer the "Hasegawa style" of model production, since 95% of modelers aren't really all that interested in opening up their models. If the kit [...]

Hasagawa 1/48 Canadair Sabre Mk5 "Frecce Tricolori" with a twist

by George Tufnail on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

So what do you do when you get two really cool sets of markings and only one model? Split the schemes! Blue side is 1963, and the black side is 1961. I painted the tricolour lower wing, but all the other markings are from the kit decal [...]

1/48 Tamiya Me-262 Schwalbe

by Grega X on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Still probably the best kit of this bird in quarter scale, with Aires detail set. I did suffer a bit of "going into details too much" with this one, but i think the result is more than satisfying. There aren't any problems [...]

Trumpeter 1/144 Mavis Flying boat

by George Tufnail on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This was my first venture into 1/144 and flying boats. I added all of the cross wire bracing and the four antennaes. Box decals are used and the white and blue striping is paint. Stand came with the kit. Great kit, and fairly easy to [...]

1/32 P-40L Warhawk

by Tom Cleaver on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40 (actually the "Kittyhawk III/P-40M" iteration) with the Greymatter Figures conversion for the Merlin engined P-40. Zotz decals. The model currently resides in the home of the real "Duchess of [...]

Kyushu J7W3 Shinden Japanese “Jet Ace” 1947

by Gary Brantley on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Well, how about another “what if” history project? I hope you don’t mind. This started off as just a regular build of the Hasegawa Kyushu J7W1 Shinden. This aircraft had long fascinated me, with it’s unorthodox canard design and [...]
