E-75 Heavy Assault Flammpanzer "Drache", What- If/1946 (1/72)

by Simon Nagorsnik on May 5, 2023 · in Armor · 3 ≡

A "what if- what if " project: E-75 flamethrower tank. I think most of you know the German E-series designs that should be the next generation of German devices. However, the end of the war in 1945 meant that there were only [...]

A Quick One: Pima Air & Space Museum Walkaround

by Eric Berg on May 5, 2023 · in Photo Collections · 16 ≡

All I can say is “wow”! What a superb air museum this place has evolved into. I’d venture to say this is the best collection west of the US Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson in Dayton, Ohio. Not surprisingly there are many [...]

Here’s a DC3 that I built for a guy... she’s has scratch made flaps and decals by Vintage Flyer decals.

Focke Wulf Fw-190D-9 (Tamiya 1/48)

by Christopher Church on May 4, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Granted this older Tamiya kit has some issues, but it still makes an attractive build. This also presented an opportunity to practice airbrushing camo and mottle free-hand while trying to avoid a major mishap. Kit decals were unusable so [...]

Interesting national insignia on Marine Corsairs

by Rob Anderson on May 4, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

So as I work on my Richard Petty '73 Charger (more on that later!) I am researching my next build, Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair. I figured I'd do a Marine bird, so I started looking at pictures and stumbled across some birds with no [...]

Kinetic 1/48 IA 58 Pucara

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 4, 2023 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

A gem from Kinetic. The kit has good fit of parts and fine details that in turn, invite a delicate weathering practice.

ust finished this 1/72 Hasegawa Hurricane MkIIc today. I added Quickboost antenna, cannon and exhaust, a resin ventral position light and wheels from Aires, some Eduard PE here and there (belts, radiator grills and gun sight bead), and [...]

35 - 1/48 Italeri EA-6B Prowler

by Anthony Ricco on May 3, 2023 · in Aviation · 52 ≡

Wow what an amazing Kit. I absolutely loved this and the camo desert scheme. The kit went together great - the only part that needed a bit of work was the underbelly. Stated like most kits with the Cockpit and if you have the chance to get [...]

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on May 3, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

My dad´s next biplane, the first of some upcoming yellow wing subjects. Accurate Miniatures kit, accidentally decals for their -2 kit were packed in the box, so my dad decided to use them and do a Marines bird, all the numbers were [...]
