by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on July 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Look, another 109 by my dad ? He´s trying to get rid of his 109 kits by building them. Built in 2018. This was the Hasegawa G-10 JG300 boxing, but in fact both included schemes are G-14/AS. So my dad converted it by filling the wrong and [...]

by Ian Foulkes on July 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Some time ago (April 2019) I was awarded by iModeler the Airfix 1/72 He 111 H6. At long last I have been able to make some headway with the kit at last! I have some Eduard etch to put inside the fuselage and when she is buttoned up I can [...]

by Andrew H on July 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Up next off the bench was this Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is used by a number of nations world-wide. I must admit, I am not particularly drawn to this vehicle or it's type, however, given its prevalence and admitted capabilities, I [...]

A build I made many years ago of the F-86F Sabre. The wings in this kit represents the E or early F of the sabre jets. This was a quick build, my log shows only 4 days (that is very quick for me). Built straight out of the box. Any details [...]

Albatros D.III OAW, Jasta 50, 1917

by Riccardo Fortina on July 2, 2021 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Roden 1/32 + WNW decals + Gaspatch. I didn't find pictures of the wings and I didn't know the exact colour of ribs. I chose pink, but blue could be equally valid. Rigging not yet finished.

Finished this little kit in 2020. What can I say, this is the best kit I ever built, absolutely superb. No filling required. Painted with AK Real Colors and Alclad II paints.
