Captured Hawk, P-36/ H75 in the Luftwaffe. Monogram 1/72.

by Robert Royes on June 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This represents one of the dozen or so H 75's that were captured by Germans, which sold many to the Finns. I think that the Monogram kit is still the best representation of the P-36 in 1/72. Thanks go to Tom Bebout for supplying the kit.

Hawker Typhoon Mk IB 1/48

by Gary Brantley on June 7, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

I have no idea just how old this kit is; I know it was issued in the early 1970s at least. So, it won't have the features found on today's great models. But, perhaps we can see how much improvement manufacturers have made since then? [...]

Several years ago, there was a D-Day group build here on iModeler. My submission was an AMT 1/47 A-20G, representing an airplane assigned to the 646th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group, 9th Air Force. I felt it was appropriate to post this [...]

Roland DVIa

by Riccardo Fortina on June 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I built this 1/32 WNW Roland DVIa few years ago. The idea was to do a diorama with pilots, mechanics and other things. I started building the cart but then I started a new project and... Looking at the model now, I think there are still [...]
