1/48 Dehavilland Vampire F.3

by John Healy on March 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

This is the brand new Airfix kit. It’s well engineered and fits great. I did trim the bottoms of the cockpit consoles to get a better fit between the upper and lower fuselage parts. One other thing to be aware of is that Airfix [...]

1/72 Westland Whirlwind – Airfix 02064-0

by George Schembri on March 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I was able to sneak in another completion during an ongoing kitchen reno at my sons house and I also got to practice some more white masking with the Operation Starkey identification stripes. The 1978 Airfix kit did prove to be a decent [...]

1/48 Monogram Pro-Modeler P-47N

by Joe Boylan on March 8, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I am a huge fan of the old Revell-Monogram "Pro-Modeler" kits. Obviously no longer produced, but if you keep your eyes peeled, you can find these gems at garage and estate sales, even The Goodwill or Cost Plus. Great kits with [...]

Good afternoon. I present to you my latest model, a Kinetic F-84F. It is an old mold but quite good. I have added some fgs of Eduard and some stencils. I hope you like it. Greetings

I wanted to model a between-the-wars (WWII and Korea) Naval aircraft and decided on the night-fighting Hellcat. For the markings, I selected the USMC squadron VMF(N)-114 with the underlined modex 'LK'. the underline was dropped sometime in [...]

Hasegawa (x2) 1/72 F-15DJ Eagle Aggressor

by Greg Kittinger on March 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This project took a few left turns. I had secured two Hasegawa F-15C kits over the years, either from ebay or from vendors at model shows. A few years back I saw a DMX decal set for Japanese F-15 aggressors, as the color schemes really [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/76 Jadgpanther Tweaked Just a Bit

by David Garcia on March 7, 2022 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I really like Matchbox 1/76 armor (armour) kits. The kits were made by a different hand because they do not exhibit the heavy engraving of their aircraft kits. This is my second attempt at building this kit. I used pastels to dust it up [...]
