Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. Ira Kepford's Jolly Roger.

by Harvey R. on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

I've always loved the Corsair, particularly the mid-war four-tone scheme, and last year I built my first one which was Tom Blackburn's 'Big Hog'. A year later I wanted to do a new Corsair because I felt my skills had improved and I wanted [...]

Italeri 1/72 F-4G Wild Weasel – Euro Scheme

by Greg Kittinger on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Another addition to my Phantom project - an old Italeri kit. I did extensive riveting, and scratch-built the upper rear instrument panel, and I had to close off the back deck of the cockpit, but that's about all the additions to the box [...]

Revell/MPM 1/72 Junkers Ju 290Z Zwilling w/He-178P

by Spiros Pendedekas on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

Hauptman Steinhoorn was a true envisionist (some called him mad): upon seeing the first Ju 290s developed from the civil Ju 90 versions, he put pressure on everybody to adopt Junkers concept of joining two 290s with a common central wing, [...]

Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat - 1/72

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on November 18, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This is one of the US-Navy cats that I like really more, due to its aggressive looking, powerful engine and operational history. The kit is the old Monogram released in 1976 in a new Revell box with new and good decals. Despite the quality [...]

Hi everybody, Just wanted to share my project of recreating the explosion of the Kursk Russian submarine that occurred on 12 August 2000 in the Barents Sea (see (link) for more info). It took me many hours and two trials to finalize it, [...]

More SMW Telford pics: Asian Air Arms

by Greg Kittinger on November 17, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Andy Binks, a great photographer and contributor to the Asian Air Arms SIG website, snapped a bunch of photos from the show related to the subject and sent them to me to post to the AAA site. I asked if I could double post here, and he [...]

...from 1989, Monogram McDonnell-Douglas AV-8B Harrier II

by Gary Brantley on November 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The F-102 is my most recent finished model and when it went to the airport, it was accompanied by another photo-virgin, this AV-8B Harrier II. Done in Marine markings, she was built during the spring of 1989. It was the fourth model I [...]

1/144 DC-9-33F – SAS 75th Anniversary Group Build.

by John Healy on November 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is an original issue Airfix kit from 1973. I picked it up at a show back in 2017 for $4 US. I dabble in airliners and Douglas products are my favorites. It’s not a bad kit 50 years later. It’s only real failing is that the [...]
