by Harvey R. on January 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

A while ago Beacon Models started a kickstarter followed by a pre-order for a pair of iconic Battle of Britain aircraft. Now, they're finally here! For a debut kit from a new company I'm very impressed. The kit comes with two sprues, one [...]

Revell's 1/72 A-20C Havoc/Boston III.

by Bob Torres on January 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

This is an old build that I made back around 1988. I remember having a great time building this kit. I recently gave this a good clean and repaired a missing aerial and loose main wheels. Not too bad for a model made 35 years ago. Back in [...]

Miles Magister (MikroMir 1/32)

by Dmitry Stropalov on January 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Malies Magister was a trainer and acrobatics aircraft designed in the 1930s. I like this classic look of it, and it's visible from the start, that the aircraft is from the Golden Era of aviation. For me, Miles Magister was one of the first [...]

The fingers of one hand are enough to list the representatives of an extremely rare group of aircraft: those that have been converted from a seaplane to a land plane! If one narrows this group even further to those constructions that have [...]

Gloster Gladiator 1:72 – a little Matchbox nostalgia

by Gábor Szabó on January 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

I started it about two years ago as a joy model (Matchbox Gloster Gladiator), then it ended up in a box, because the Alclad primer didn't want to bind, I still don't know why. Even after two years it was still a bit tacky (!). I had some [...]

Great Wall Hobby; 1/48 MiG-29 Fulcrum

by Boris Grgić on January 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I've been waiting for a while to get my hands on decent Fulcrum kit. In last moments I resisted to get cheaper Revell and Academy kits and decided to save money for GWH. I must say, this kit is worth every penny. Perfect fit, not simple, [...]
