Me 163B-1a "Komet"

by Michael Turner on August 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I have been taking new photos of some of my old builds recently. I built this kit around 1990 and it was both my first (serious) 1/48 scale build and the first model that I painted using an airbrush. Trimaster released their high tech, [...]

Morane Saulnier MS 226

by François Riga on August 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Another Heller oldie, the Morane 226. A conversion made 16 years ago already, from a MS 225 kit. A lot of job to correct some of the kit big issues, besides the conversion. The main points to be addressed are: Fuselage width to be [...]

Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 F190 # 12030 1:12

by Cricket on August 9, 2024 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

I did this about 2 years ago, not my best build but I enjoyed it. The tires were a mess all hardened and shrunk up. The seller had no interest in back up his sale and he was in Japan so. Really had no recourse. I found some other tires, [...]

Bloch 152 - Heller 1/72

by François Riga on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

One of the first Heller kits in the "Musée" range, issued in 1965. Quite crude and requiring a lot of corrective work to achieve a decent result. This one was done some 14y ago, before the much better kits from RS and Dora Wings [...]

Two old Revell box-scale kits

by François Riga on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

The vintage Revell B-47 and P6M box-scale kits, assembled as desk models. Simple builds, I only corrected some small shape issues (on the jet nacelles of the B-47) and struggled to make some parts fit. Just to show that old kits, these are [...]

More 1/48 German Fighters

by Brian Riedel on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

1/48 DML Fw-190A-5 “Special” Markings for Herman Graf. Pretty much straight from the box. 1/48 DML Fw-190A-4 Jg.2 Markings for Adolph Dickfeld. Again, straight from the box with markings cobbled from different decal sheets. 1/48 Otaki [...]

Dora Wings 1/72 Fairey Delta FD.2

by Alistair Gauld on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hi there , This was a build going on in the background and I thought I'd just stick it up to give my thoughts on it. My previous experience with Dora Wings was their 1/72 Lysander which was challenging to say the least. The fit was not [...]

Curtiss Hawk P-36 – Revell 1/72

by François Riga on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Here is my vintage Revell Curtiss Hawk, upgraded and corrected. The kit is still excellent if a few easy corrections are made: Fuselage top width (aft of the cockpit) to be increased abt 2mm with plastic strips, 1mm between the cowling [...]

Morane Saulnier MS 406 – Hasegawa 1/72

by François Riga on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Hi, Here is one of my Morane Saulnier MS406. Hasegawa kit, updated or corrected where necessary. Cockpit mostly from a Pavla resin set, Falcon canopy. Landing flaps made from scratch. Camouflage is a mix of acrylics (Lifecolor) and enamels [...]
