AMP 1:72 scale Sikorsky H-5/HO3S-1

by Pip Moss on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

I generally build in 1:48 except for helicopters, for which I stay in 1:72. This is one of two that I've been working on for my model club's annual group build theme, "Rescue and Recovery." It's a Sikorsky H-5, the first [...]

1/32 Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVIe

by David Porter on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is the Tamiya Mk XVIe kit. A nice kit but I had a few troubles with the cannon inserts and making the cowlings fit. Otherwise an enjoyable build. Painted with Mr Color paints and added HGW belts and some wheels. Otherwise out of the [...]

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 [...]
