Beechcraft G-17S Staggerwing – AMT (Round 2) 1/48

by Andrew H on August 15, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

After the last build of a Beechcraft Model 18, why not a Beechcraft G-17S Staggerwing? The Staggerwing is, of course, one of those aircraft that just screams "Golden Age of Aviation", especially when in the air (as I've chosen [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane MK.I

by Alistair Gauld on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This was one that I just wanted to do as a bit of fun to take my mind off the other stuff on the bench. I've never built an Airfix Hurricane ever, so, it's a new experience. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with ColourCoats [...]

by neil foster on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is the second of my Hellcats ,this one a Mk1 flown from HMS Emperor helping to cover the Normandy landings hence the super cool invasion stripes and then was involved in operation 'Dragoon' ,the allied invasion of southern France. As [...]

Hellcat Mk2 Eduard 1/48

by neil foster on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Well it's been a long time since I got round to posting something but I have been plugging away in the man cave and checking in every day to see what everyone's been building. The Hellcat is one of my favorites along with it's little [...]

Tamiya kit, 1:48 F4U Corsair

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A very easy kit to build with good decals also. I actually used three different Testors paint colors on the main body of this model. I added the skull and crossbones decal to the tail because I had it left over, even though I am aware [...]

Review: Wildcat Arriving!, A Review of the New Eduard's 1/48 Grumman F4F-3

by Chuck A. Villanueva on August 14, 2022 · in Reviews · 19 ≡

Ever since building the very good but not perfect Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat back in the mid 90's you would think that they would follow up with a -3 and FM late Wildcat. But no we were just given just the one. Hobby Boss has produced a series [...]

Lindberg kit, USS Nautilus (SSN-571)

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This kit was first introduced in the early 1950’s and is still apparently in the same mold configuration. I had recently ordered it through Amazon and the two hull sides came a bit warped but some rubber bands helped to hold the sides [...]

Revell F4U-4 Corsair VMF-214 “Black Sheep” Squadron, off the USS Sicily (CVE-118) Korea 1951

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This model was ok to build but the wing to wing roots presented a problem in the fit of them. But with patience, I finished it. The decals are of good quality and I had extras which I reapplied two times because I had the wrong placement [...]

Ducati 1199 Panigale S (1:12 Tamiya)

by Gavin Snowdon on August 14, 2022 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

Wow, what a ride! At long last the Ducati is completed, mounted and boxed in a manner of speaking. For the first time ever, I put my completed build into a display case, and boy am I pleased with the results. I hope you like as much as I [...]
