Background The Kawanishi E7K grew out of an Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a replacement for the Kawanishi E5K observation seaplane. The Kawanishi Type 94 was the result (the designation E7K1 was a later application). Kawanishi [...]

"Arctic Aggressors": Hasegawa F-16C/D

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Having examined Tamiya's instructions of the F-16C/N, I was inspired to enhance the old Hasegawa 1/48 F-16 kit with plenty of spare parts from Tamiya's F-16CJ kit and added Legend's ejection seats. The final results would not have been [...]

by Chas Bunch on May 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Here’s a couple of my builds of the Polikarpov R-5. Many years ago I built the all-resin R-5sss by Rest Models in Spanish Republican livery. It was a nice kit with good detail. However, after a few weeks of sitting on the shelf I [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here are the highlights and the downfalls of Trumpeter's Hellcat. The model captures well the stalky outlines of this great fighter. Wing fold part design is superb. Easy to install and does not strain plastic hinges. A tow tractor kit is [...]

North American P-51

by Russell Jurco on May 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built this a while back for a customer. IT is a 1/25 MPC Chrysler 1932. THE paint was a custom color from MCW and it was clear coated with Tamiya. Otherwise pretty much built from box. Decent kit but needs to treated like limited [...]
