Bush War...1/48 Hawker Hunter FGA.9, Rhodesian Airforce

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on August 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

My dad´s next completion. It´s a long way to Mukumbura... Used the old Academy kit from 1997. It has its flaws and issues but overall not that bad. Wings to fuselage joints and air intakes needed some more filler and work. The cockpit is [...]

Obviously pregnant, but a fighting lady! Supermarine Attacker FB.2

by Roland Sachsenhofer on August 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

There are aircraft that, once seen, are remembered. This does not require the expert eye of an aeronautical engineer, nor is it due to the fame of a long or spectacular operational history, nor is it due to a particularly aesthetically [...]

by Frederick J Seitz III on August 22, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 21 ≡

Calling this one, DONE! 1:48 scale, Tamiya P-47D "Thunderbolt". Fantastic kit, much has already been written so I won't go there. I loved build this kit and there are more to come! For this build, I used Tamiya Acrylics, Flory [...]

Focke Wulf 44B Stieglitz

by Max Williams on August 21, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is the Silver Wings Fw44 Stieglitz, a 1930s German training aircraft. This was my first Silver Wings kit, it proved to be a good one because it was fairly straightforward and encouraged me to explore other similar models.

French Army AMX-30B

Finally finished this superb model by Meng. Originally found in a charity shop, I was amazed that only 1 tiny part was missing. Meng make some very high quality parts, but the tracks were an absolute pain to make and took quite awhile. [...]

Revell 1/32 Heinkel 219 A-7

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on August 20, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Having built many of Tamiya's 1/48th Uhu variants Revell's 1/32nd kit was a good way to complete the collection. And yes, I also built Dragon's 1/72nd model. All three kits were not disappointing. There were no issues with the building [...]

by Colin Gomez on August 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

Here is my Monogram He-111 in 1/48th scale - a venerable kit which can compete with more recent releases with a bit of care. I had to spend some time filling and sanding to get the clear parts aligned and sealed and there were a few other [...]
