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 · 42 ≡

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 [...]

Andy Binks, a great photographer and contributor to the Asian Air Arms SIG website, snapped a bunch of photos from the show related to the subject and sent them to me to post to the AAA site. I asked if I could double post here, and he [...]

...from 1989, Monogram McDonnell-Douglas AV-8B Harrier II

by Gary Brantley on November 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The F-102 is my most recent finished model and when it went to the airport, it was accompanied by another photo-virgin, this AV-8B Harrier II. Done in Marine markings, she was built during the spring of 1989. It was the fourth model I [...]

1/144 DC-9-33F – SAS 75th Anniversary Group Build.

by John Healy on November 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is an original issue Airfix kit from 1973. I picked it up at a show back in 2017 for $4 US. I dabble in airliners and Douglas products are my favorites. It’s not a bad kit 50 years later. It’s only real failing is that the [...]
