1/32 Ju87D-8 "Night Stuka", Hasegawa 08171

by Erik Kok on February 1, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is Hasegawa’s Ju87D-8 “Night Stuka”. I tried to replicate the box art which I like very much. The most difficult part of the kit IMO is the canopy. I sanded off the molded on structure and polished it again. Then I tried to add [...]

Rivet City (Monogram) HU-16B

by Scott Nelson on February 1, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

One to add to my archive. I made this one some years ago. Festooned with rivets, I did my best to get a good fit between parts so I could avoid sanding them away. Tamiya spray can silver and Testors paints finished the job.

Another Smer/ Airifx/ Mister Craft 1:48 finished as a Ugandan Mig17 F. These are old, clunky, cheap but well engineered kits and this is my third one. No filler involved at all. I did replace the arment with turned brass as the pitot [...]

Tamiya 1:48 P-47M (Kit #61096*2800)

by George Henderson on January 31, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The title is a bit misleading as this is supposed to be an F-47D-40-RA and Tamiya supplies extra parts to do so. The F-47D came about as the new U.S.A.F. changed from Pursuit to Fighter. If you want to see a photo of the actual aircraft, [...]
