From the beginning…

by Gary Brantley on July 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I want to show the first models I built after returning to the hobby in 1988. I was 35 years old and hadn't built a model plane since I was around 10. I wanted to compare the new aircraft of that era and thought building 1/48 scale [...]

Vintage: Lindberg 1/51 F-94 Demonstrator (1954)

by David Garcia on July 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is an oldie and dates back to early 1950s. Heck it's older than I am. It does not look like much in the box but I thought lets build it anyway. The only thing holding me back were markings. Due to the scale finding decals were a [...]
