by guy barker on January 30, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Hi everyone ☺️ Finished the Moth today, it's the Airfix 1/48 kit that was released a short while ago. I saw on on this site an earlier post by a fellow contributer of a yellow Moth. I was hooked when I came round to doing my Moth it [...]

Can you see the join! Tackle in or tackle out?

by Ross Paton on January 30, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I always wrestle with the dilemma engine exposed or not? I know some people on here firmly believe in showing the fine lines and buttoning up. I, however see the engines as 50% of the story with WWII aircraft. So here is my latest build of [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F-16N NFWS "Topgun"

by Michael Drover on January 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hi all. This one is the first for 2023 though I started it a few years ago with the bulk of the work done last year. It's the venerable 1/48th Hasegawa F-16N. I eyed off the 72nd version when I was a kid but never built it so when this [...]

by George Schembri on January 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I had a Uncle/Nephew visit and flight at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton. During our visit to the Gift shop, I found a few old paperbacks that looked like some cheap good reading. One book I found was a 'Bantam War' [...]

by Tony Anderton on January 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

So after my son SAT ON my 1:48th version when it was 75% completed (crashed and burned, no survivors, too much damage to repair) i really wanted a replacement. So a guilty son bought me another, only in 72nd scale. My eyesight is still not [...]

by Michael Drover on January 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Hi all. There's not much to say about this kit other than it was an enjoyable build. I've read a few articles and seen a few build/review videos and I don't know what the issue was were that folks found. This thing fell together with the [...]

Incom T-65B X-Wing Starfighter

by Rob Anderson on January 28, 2023 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

My daughter got me this beauty for Christmas and I dove right in. It is the Bandai 1/72 "X-Wing Starfighter" boxing of the X-wing as seen in Episode IV, the first movie and to me still the best. If like me you have never built [...]

Academy F4U-1

by Scott Nelson on January 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I picked up this kit (which included the Fairey FD-2 kit from FROG) at a recent contest for a very reasonable price from a friend running a vendor table. It seems Academy kits can be “hit or miss” in quality. I think this one is good. [...]
