Spitfire Mk Vc, BP966, was originally manufactured in the desert scheme, then routed to Renfrew, Scotland for shipment to Malta. While there, it was refinished in the temperate sea scheme (as per a misunderstood Malta request), and shipped [...]

Heller's 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIC

by Bob Torres on June 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

An oldie but goodie, Heller originally released this kit in 1977. This was my third build of this kit, my first was in 1978 and at the time I felt it was the best Hurricane Mk. II in 1/72 scale. Most of this build was straight out of the [...]

1/48 Red Arrows Airfix Gnat

by Dan Lee on June 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

INTRODUCTION The Plane The Folland Gnat was a reactionary byproduct of the sophisticated, bigger, faster, heavier and powerful mantra that dominated the aircraft industry in the beginning of the jet age. W.E.W. "Teddy" Petter, [...]

Ukrainian BRDM-2UM KFOR, Pristina, Kosovo (Trumpeter 1:35)

by Michel Verschuere on June 1, 2022 · in Armor · 12 ≡

by Mark Kannemeyer on June 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Hellcat MKII operated by the FAA off HMS Khedive, East Indies, March- April 1945. A relatively trouble free build. I was, however, disappointed by some of the detail left of by Airfix on such a large scale kit, but nothing that the [...]

1/48 Hasegawa A6M2 Type 21 Pearl Harbor Attacker

by Woody Kubacki on May 31, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This kit gave me some problems with the fit at the lower wing to firewall joint (large step) and apparent mould misalignment at the tail. I intended to finish this in time for the 80th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor, but I was late in [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 J2M5 Raiden 256 Kokutai

by Woody Kubacki on May 31, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Another model completed for the Empire of Japan build. The Hasegawa kit is good for its age but could sure use a modern update, especially the cockpit, radio, separate cowl flaps, and an open canopy. Paints used were Mr Color and AK RC, [...]
