Roden 1/72 Felixstowe F.2A

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 31, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

After 20 years since it appeared, Roden's excellent Felixstowe hold its ground. The early and late F.2A are depicted here. I used AIMS decals for the red ship. Rigging is elaborate, but thanks to stiff coper wires from coated cables, the [...]

by Tom Hering on October 30, 2022 · in Figures · 12 ≡

Completed in 2022. This is a bagged kit of the Blue Knight, first released in 1957. The nameplate on the base said "Sir Galahad," so it was part of the 1967 "Camelot" reissues. Fortunately, I was able to get a pre-1967 [...]

Bf110E Nightfighter (Dragon 1/32 scale)

by Max Williams on October 29, 2022 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is Cyberhobby/Dragon's superb Bf110E kit, finished as flown by Lt Heinz Wolfgang Schnaufer in 1943. The kit is detailed, care is required with the nacelles in particular...and the instructions are awful!
