KP 1/72 Cessna Crane Mk.1A

by George R Blair Jr on March 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I don't usually build 1/72 scale models, but I have liked this plane since I first saw it in the old TV series Sky King (Yes, I am that old). I thought this kit might be a challenge when I got it, but I am recuperating from some surgery [...]

1/72 AZ Models X-3 Stiletto

by Brian Powell on March 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

The Douglas X-3 Stiletto has the perhaps singular distinction among airplanes as not being nearly as cool as it looks. I mean, it screams FAST. Instead, it was stubbornly subsonic and exhibited potentially catastrophic roll [...]

Little John in the forest

by Carlo Farina on March 10, 2023 · in Diorama · 11 ≡

Dear friend, something different. A 75mm resin figure of Little John positioned in a humid forest, with mushrooms, butterflies and birds. I also share some photos of the “making of”. Is a new passion being born? I don't know. [...]

Alexander's 1/48 Airfix P-40 and Tamiya FW-190

by guy barker on March 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

My son Alexander picked these two kits up with his own pocket money from a well known model shop in York just below the old Roman walls. I do the cutting out and sanding which an 11yr old would find very boring 😴 but he then does the [...]

1/48 Airfix P-51K-5 Janet/Elva May

by David Butler on March 9, 2023 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Airfix Mustangs are fabulous- perhaps just one small step below Eduard when it comes to surface detail but certainly less fussy to build. I originally intended to build this as "Louisiana Heatwave" but accidently installed the [...]

Hawker 100th: Hasegawa Typhoon lB Bubbletop (late) 1/48

by Eric Berg on March 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 47 ≡

Hawker Aircraft is now a century old, so for this GB celebration build I chose Hasegawa’s venerable Typhoon Mk Ib Bubbletop kit that’s been sitting on my Shelf of Doom since the late 90’s when it was issued and I just had to have [...]

Countries That Flew During World War 2

Some past builds of WW2 aircraft representing 8 different countries from both the allied and the axis powers.

P-40 Warhawks

by Jay Mitchell on March 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

These two 1/48 P-40s were kindly sent to me as a gift from Bob Torres @v1pro . Bob also sent along some extra AMtech decal sheets with these two kits. I’ve been working on them off and on for several months. Warmer weather recently paid [...]
