ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader (Drone Carrier)

by Kevin Rowbotham on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

A recently completed ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader built out of the box. I replaced the kits BQM-34A (Q-2C) Firebee with a KDA-1 (Q2A) as I'm given to understand that the aircraft never flew with a mixed 'load' (?) Finished with Tamiya XF's and [...]

1/48 Mi-24P Hind F, Belgorod Raid, 1 April 22

by Wes Pennest on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I snapped this up from Sprue Brothers right before the sanctions were in place, so this may be one of the last Zvezda models I (or anyone else, for that matter) do for a while. It was in the mail when the war started and arrived on my [...]

The RNLAF Northrop NF-5A Freedom Fighter

by Alfred van Paaschen on March 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Actually this is my first finished scale kit in a row, representing Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) fighters and trainers from 1946 until present. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am currently working on the 10th plane (the F-84F [...]

Brengun MXY-7 Ohka, Models 11 & 22 (1/72)

by Brian Powell on March 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was a human-guided bomb used by Japan in the latter days of WWII. Translating to “cherry blossom”, its official name of “Navy Suicide Attacker” hardly evokes thoughts of delicate pink petals lazily drifting [...]

Post War Brits

by IAN JACKSON on March 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

So let's start with the wee BAC Jet Provost: Truthfully there isn't too much to say, enough has been written about this wee gem, so I'm not going to try to add anything other than this: If you need a 'mojo restoration project' , you could [...]

Review: Kotare Models 1/32 Spitfire Mk1a Mid production – First look

by Paul Barber on March 22, 2023 · in Reviews · 17 ≡

This lovely looking thing arrived from NZ in the week. I’m not going to say too much. I’m impressed by the quality. The instructions are exactly the same as a WNW booklet but then again that company probably produced the best [...]

Republic P-47D “Luckys’ Lady”

by Jay Mitchell on March 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This is a Monogram 1/48 P-47D . The box is dated 1967 and was still shrink wrapped. It’s from the collection of a modeler, Mr Claude Good, that passed away about 1 year ago at age 86. It is my interpretation of Captain Frank [...]
