An inexpensive P-38

by Clint Miller on October 12, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Not sure how many modelers have built the Hobby Boss easy assembly kit of the Lockheed P-38, but here is my take on it. As far as P-38 kits go, it really is an "easy" kit, but you do have to deal with very long seam lines that [...]

Heinkel He 112B-1, 1/48

by dale travis on October 11, 2023 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is a kit by LF models and I think it may be their first all plastic kit in 1/48. It is a limited run product of very good quality. Options include cowl panels to do either the in line exhaust or the tubular. The clear parts are very [...]

by George R Blair Jr on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

I wanted to do one more model for the Sullivan Memorial Group, and a photo in Golden Wings of a US Navy SNJ-3 caught my eye. It was a very weathered SNJ-3 photographed at NAS Moffett Field in 1944. The camouflage seemed to be a cross [...]

1/72 Arado 555

by Clarence Novak on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Finally after sitting on my shelf, it's finished. A lot of new things like Vallejo Color Magnesium and a bit different than the usual camo versions? Still had a lot of leading edge seam separating? I need to learn a more reliable way of [...]

by capt. R on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Making a model of the plane of the 41st President of the United States has been my dream for a long time. Already in primary school, I built a simple Frog TBF Avenger model. But now it's time for a more professional construction. The [...]

Tamiya 1/35 Matilda

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 9, 2023 · in Armor · 20 ≡
