So, this is my dad´s final contribution to the French at war theme. Tamiya P-47M kit, drop tank from a Tamiya P-47 Razorback kit, BLU-27 napalm canisters from a Hasegawa weapon set, antenna wire with elastic thread, Eduard seatbelts. All [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51D "Detroit Miss"

by David Butler on June 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I bought this kit on the cheap from a popular online auction site. The finished product falls into the "6 footer" category. Stay 6 feet back and it looks like a P-51 Step a little closer and you will see the thick decals, poor [...]

Hi all, haven't posted here for a while. This is the 1/32 Hasegawa P40E Warhawk built as a Kiwi bird from the OTU. Took a little while to complete but reasonably happy with the outcome. Thanks Riccardo

Airfix Bf-109 G6

by Scott Nelson on June 4, 2022 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I had planned on doing a side by side build of this Airfix kit and the 109 G6 by Tamiya. However, I messed up the paint job on the Tamiya kit and I’m still contemplating how I’m going to fix it without having to strip the entire model. [...]

(Refurbished) Bf 109E

by IAN JACKSON on June 3, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The Tamiya 1:48 109E kits are just great for quick builds, yes there are newer and better detailed kits around, but for sheer VFM, the Tamiya kits are hard to beat. I've added only belts made from masking tape and AM decals to this one [...]

Tamiya P-47D-30-RE, 'The Bubbletop over Asia'
