KP 1/72 Yak-23

by Bob Torres on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

After finishing my last build (MiG-17PF) I wanted to build another KP kit. I've been eyeing the Yak-23 for a while and decided to give this kit a try. The Yak-23 is an early Soviet jet fighter which flew in the late 40's. This is a very [...]

1/32 ICM AH-1G Huey Cobra (Late Model)

by Dan Lee on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

The US Army had done a lot of planning and doctrine development for Air Mobile forces built around the heavy use of choppers in the 1960s. One of the things the more astute planners realized (based on the French experience in Algeria) [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Although not a simple build model, Hasegawa's venerable Tomcat kit looks great on the display shelf. This is an old kit that I got at a bargain price, partially built and with already yellowing decals. The objective of the build was to [...]

Amodel's Dornier Do26

by Paul Higgins on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Well, this is a prime example of checking your reference sources, which I didn't. I really liked this colour scheme when I saw it ten years ago now, and promptly applied it to this model. Unfortunately, on tidying up the colour scheme [...]

Airfix's Dornier Do17Z-2

by Paul Higgins on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi, my recent build of this kit was just something to do that wasn't too taxing, and I chose to leave the bomb bay closed off and the flaps in neutral. Easily the best kit in 1/72 scale, this builds up into a very attractive kit and it has [...]

IJN Destroyer Shiranui "不知火" 1940, Pit Road 1/700

by NAOKI YAMANAKA on September 1, 2024 · in Ships · 12 ≡

Today I am uploading a 1/700 model of an IJN destroyer Shiranui, the second ship of the Kagero Class. This is based on a kit of the Kagero (pre-war), which is a Pit-Road product and includes etchings. IJN Shiranui has an intense war [...]

1/72 Hasegawa P-3C Orion – VP-8

by David Kopielski on September 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This commission build used the Hasegawa 1/72 P-3C Orion. The scheme is for VP-8 “Flying Tigers” based out of NAS Brunswick during the early 1980’s. It is a commission work for a Navy Veteran who worked on these aircraft. The squadron [...]

JV44; The Galland Circus: Dragon 1/48 Focke wulf 190D

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I chose a series of three JV44 support aircraft that accompanied the Me 262 jets during the pattern approach when they were most vulnerable to Allied aircraft attacks. The Focke Wulf 190Ds were painted with striking red and white stripes [...]

Hawker Hunter GA 11, XF287 781 BY, Rough Diamonds, 738 Sqn Royal Navy, RNAS Brawdy 1967.

by Allan J Withers on September 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

1/72 Airfix, started 07-2014 finished for the Hawker GB, more pic's, details there.

Messerschmitt Bf109 E-7/B, Eduard 1/48 scale

by Doug Thost on September 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Finally, a 109 in the collection. I've always admired the graphic design of the Wespen, and many decades ago I had a 1/72 Hasegawa kit that never quite made it to the finish line. So when I saw this Eduard version in a slightly less fiddly [...]
