Collect-Aire 1/48 F9F-8

by Dan DeSilva on March 30, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

So, years ago I invested in a Collect-Aire 1/48 F9F-8... At the time, the only 1/48 kits around of the F9F-8 were the Lodella/Revell kit (1/50) and the FM kit. I actually got both (then sold the Lodella/Revell), but later I learned about [...]

by Simon Nagorsnik on March 30, 2022 · in Armor · 9 ≡

The G40 bulldozer was initialized by the Japanese Navy in the early 1940's. This is based on an agricultural tractor and was one of the first of its kind in Japan. The intended use was to make the construction of airfields faster and [...]

M1A2 SEP V2 Abrams (1/72)

by Simon Nagorsnik on March 29, 2022 · in Armor · 10 ≡

These M1 Abrams were seen during winter maneuver exercises in Germany. I liked the worn NATO/bronze green over the CARC tan with the white winter camouflage, so i chose this scheme because I think it's a change from the "usual" [...]

This is the third model in my model-building career. This P-39 represents the 46th fighter squadron that was stationed at Kanton Atoll from the spring of 1943 through December 1943. The sand and light blue camouflage pattern was painted [...]

Monogram 1:48 Boeing B-29 Superfortress

by George Henderson on March 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 45 ≡

I had no intention of building this but trying to sell this online was not an option. The shipping costs alone are astronomical. So, given my penchant for oddball schemes, how to make one of 3790 NMF B-29's different. The first 40ish were [...]

Hobbyboss 1/48 scale Bv141B

by Paul Higgins on March 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is my build of the Hobbyboss Bv141 kit. It's a good kit that goes together well without too much effort, with the possible exception of painting all the canopy frames! Additions to the model are the 'Superfabric' seatbelts from [...]

Hasegawa P-38J Lightning, ´Virginia Marie´, 1/48

by Enrique Lopez Galindo on March 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

I bought this one because I like how it look the metal color with that blue. Really different from others Lightnings. This one is from Hasegawa and it doesn´t has many details, and parts doesn´t fit really good so... I had to do a lot of [...]

by Triet Cam on March 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hi all, This is my Cessna A-37B Dragonfly, build in 2020. This model depicted the former VNAF 516th Fighter Squadron based in Da Nang during the VN war. I replaced the kit's seats with the Quickboost seats because they represented the [...]
