Airfix 1/72 Phantom FG1.

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 [...]

Airfix 1/72 scale Hawker Typhoon Mk IIb

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 [...]

La La Lavochkin Land! 1/48 Zvezda La-5s

by Wes Pennest on January 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I get inspired by the planes I fly in flight simulators. Go figure. I've flown the LaGG-3 in IL2-GB and hated every minute of it. Once I stepped up to the La-5 I had something approaching the same revelatory moment pilots had when they [...]

Hi everyone, this is the Italeri 1/48 Tigercat. I also finally get to go back to in-person at my school. Walking around, I also noticed some models around my school including a 1:16 kv1 and a Thunderbolt of an unidentified but very large [...]
