by Tony Prince on December 20, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is the Hobby Boss kit; supplied as the 'trop' version but with box contents inconsistent with the box artwork. I elected to modify some parts to produce a British (Kenley) based, early Mk. Vb as the sole windscreen in the kit [...]

by Maxim Bylkin on December 19, 2012 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The latest model from the dioramas - Albatros Ernst Udet. For some reason I finished the cockpit, but the pilot is shut everything)). A little more extended the landing gear - Edward gives them too short, and it shows. Color aircraft given [...]

by Charles Whall on December 19, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

As beautiful as the Spitfire is when its all 'buttoned up', I wanted to depict one stripped down as if in maintenence. This was a real challenge in such a small scale but I think it worked. The base is hand-made from Beech and I used [...]
