DR.1 Fokker

by Cricket on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

In the words of Monty Python “And now for something completely different” :)- I was talking with someone about Dave Deal’s Tri Plane, so I searched for and came up with this instead. I thought it looked cute and thought what the [...]

Airco DH. 5, 1:48. Fenix, flown Cpt. Roy Williams, 41 Sqn. RFC

by Milan Tesař on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I've got a few models to finish, but until that's done I'm going to keep showing the planes I've built over the last year since I got back into modeling. DH. 5 from Fénix looks very good at first glance. Unfortunately, the very detailed [...]

by Allan J Withers on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

1/72 RVHP, resin kit, started 02-2016 finished 12-2022, probably not the best or worst resin kit but I think the end result is worth the effort !

Hobby Boss 1/32 F-84G Thunderjet

by Mark Bellegante on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

This is a kit I built awhile back. As I recall the fit was good and I had no issues with the build. I used the kit decals which represent a plane from 58th Fighter Bomber Wing . The only additions to the kit were masking tape seat belts [...]

1/48 Hobbycraft P-40F

by Tom Bebout on November 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

It's been awhile since I've posted here, life sometimes gets in the way, so here's my 24th P-40 to add to my collection. Although it's a Hobbycraft kit they use the old AMT molds for their rendition of a P-40F. Since I've build several AMT [...]

Junkers Ju 87 A2

by David Paul Cope on November 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is the 1/48th scale offering from Special Hobby. The kit is definitely not for beginners, having many fit issues especially when joining the wing to fuselage, which required copious amounts of filler to correct but nothing that [...]

"The Two Faces of the Atlas", Part II: John Glenn and Friendship 7 on Mercury Mission MA-6!

Arma Hobby 1/72 Bell Airacobra P39Q.

by Alistair Gauld on November 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Yet another exquisite kit from Arma Hobbies that was a joy to build OOB. No issues to note other than the ones I created for myself. As with all Arma kits careful placement will repay you in the end. Primed with Mr. Surfacer 1500 [...]
