by David Kopielski on January 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the 1/48 Airfix Junkers JU-87B-1 Stuka. This was a World War II dive bomber use by Germany. The scheme is that of the Staffelkapitan, 4th Staffel, Stukageshwader 77. It represents how it looked in June 1940 in France. I detailed [...]

Eduard 1/48 F-6D-10NA Mustang

by Tom Cleaver on January 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The Allison-powered Mustang I had excellent low-level performance, which resulted in the aircraft being utilized in the low-level tactical reconnaissance role. The success was such that the USAAF adapted the P-51A for the role, designating [...]

Airfix 1:35 M3 Stuart 'Honey'

by Dennis Meyers on January 28, 2021 · in Armor · 11 ≡

First build completed in 2021. Off to a good start. This is a rebox of the Academy M3 with different markings and camo scheme. The quality is decent but definitely not comparable to current Tamiya, Meng or Takom standards. The [...]

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on January 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

RAF 111st. Squadron around 1986. To finish my triple Phantom project I ended the series with the latest Airfix tool, but for this one I elected to have the cockpit closed, even though I used PE details for it and resin seats (I know they [...]

Off the SoD – Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D "Eileen"

by Tom Cleaver on January 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Everyone liked the Hasegawa P-47s when they came out 25 years ago, then lost interest when the Tamiya P-47s came out 18 (!) years ago. Yes, there is a shape problem with the fuselage, the belly is too shallow - but not so much that it is [...]

by Andreas Fey on January 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hello, this is my first Hawker Typhoon "Tiffy". My inspriration was the nice 1/24 kit from Airfix. You can find some very nice builds from this kit via Google and that's why I was inspired to try this on a much smaller scale. The [...]
