Chino’s Seversky

by Tom Cleaver on December 2, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 3 ≡

Like I said before, yesterday was far from perfect photography weather at Chino, but when there's something interesting on the ramp, haul out the camera and shoot. I haven't seen the Seversky outside in years. This is the 2-seat version [...]

Skyraider walkaround

by Tom Cleaver on December 2, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 2 ≡

Was just going through my photo files and ran across these shots taken out at Chino in November 2004 (the Convair 240 in the background dates it for me). This is an A-1J Skyraider, not one of the ex-French AD-4Ns. As you can see from [...]

Chino’s MiG-15 in flight

by Tom Cleaver on December 2, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Proving just how good a pilot Steve Hinton is, here he is flying formation with a Cessna 210, from which I took these pix. And in case you want to ask "How close was he?" these photos were taken with a 55mm lens and are [...]

Nichimo 1/48th Ki-45 ‘Toryu’ OOB Dual Build

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 2, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This pair of Nichimo Ki-45s was built with no extras other than seatbelts. These had been in my stash for years and I'd also obtained the Hasegawa kit, so I decided to build these first since I was in the mood for a quick no fuss project. [...]

1/48th ProModeler by Revell-Monogram Bf-110G-4

by Walt on December 2, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I thought since I posted pictures of my Cyber Hobby Bf-110 that it my be interesting to also post pictures of my Revell-Monogram Bf-110G-4. I built this one a while back and have to say I really enjoyed the kit. I thought the detail in [...]

Ki-61

Hasegawa's 1/48 Ki-61. I finished this one a couple of years ago. OOB.

Blairmonster from John Carpenter's "The Thing"

by George Tufnail on December 1, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 2 ≡

Okay kiddies. How's this for a nightmare inducer. I had more fun painting this darn thing. I had to do a little surgery to it to make it PG13 rated, but that's not really a big "Thing". This huge lump of resin is over 22 [...]

Chino’s D4Y3 Judy (WIP)

by Tom Cleaver on December 1, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Some pix of Chino's D4Y3 Suisen (Judy). Terrible weather, but this was the first time she was out in public and got started up, so it was a case of suck it up and unlimber the camera. The airplane will never fly, due to the corrosion in [...]

The first P40C restored to flight

by Tom Cleaver on December 1, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 4 ≡

These are from April 1998, when the first restored P-40C took flight, flown by Steve Hinton. Pix taken from the open tail of "Photo Fanny" out at Planes of Fame. This is the airplane pulled out of the forest south of Archangel [...]
