Roden 1/48 IDF OV-1D Mohawk

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on August 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

The two Mohawk aircraft that served in the IDF endured less than 8 years in service before being returned to the US. Both particular aircraft are displayed in aviation museums. Roden's Mohawk is a difficult kit to build. It requires [...]

Hellas Hurricane

by IAN JACKSON on August 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This has been in my stash for around fifteen years, so with the immanent arrival of the Arma kit, I decided to dig it out and have a go. What a great experience, said here before just how much I love the 1990's era Hasegawa 1:48 WWII kits, [...]

by Tom Cleaver on August 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Wilder Wildcat: Quick: which World War II U.S. Navy fighter had a kill-loss ratio of 32:1? Was it the Hellcat? Nope. The Hellcat’s score was 19:1. Was it the Corsair? Nope. The U-bird’s score was 11:1. It was in fact the FM-2 [...]

Surrender...1/48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 22, IJN/RNZAF

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on August 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Besides all the US naval stuff by my dad, he decided to turn Japanese a bit. New Eduard kit, a bit over-engineered, lots of detail but also many small plastic and PE parts. Fuselage to wing fit had some tension and needed work. Engine [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Allison V-1710

by Spiros Pendedekas on August 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

Allison, a Division of General Motors, began developing the ethylene glycol-cooled V-1710 in 1929, in order to meet a USAAC need for a modern 1,000 hp (750 kW) engine to fit into a new generation of streamlined bombers and fighters. The [...]

Fine Molds Bf-109

by Scott Nelson on August 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This was a nice little build. The kit went together like the proverbial shake n bake kits from Tamiya. The Finnish markings are a nice change of pace. I think I’ll look for another one to make the green and black camo version too.

Flying Green Dragon

by Brian Mennenoh on August 24, 2023 · in Figures · 16 ≡

This project started with my Mom seeing the Red Dragon I did a while back. She liked it and mentioned that she'd like to have something similar but not so spikey. 🙂 So, being the good son, I purchased this model from 'Lord of the [...]
