by Boris Grgić on September 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I wanted to add MiG-23 to my 1/48 collection for a while. Been aiming for Trumpeter but I found Italeri kit for a cheap price. It's not very detailed kit but it gave me much less headache than other Italeri kits I trashed away. Anyway, [...]

Corsair

by Amari Luu on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

After I messed up on the wing constitution, I decided to add some heavy weathering to the plane to try to cover up some of the extensive amount of super glue that I used.

Gloster Meteor F.8 at Försökscentralen

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The Försökscentralen (Test & Evaluation squadron) is a lesser known part of the Swedish air force. It tests flying materiel, tactics and equipment. Although it probably got less money in the budge than Pentagon use for paperclips in [...]

Bored at the "phoney war"? A very special Bf 108 Taifun!

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

As fascinating as the Bf 108 Taifun is as an aircraft, the motivation to build this model this time clearly came from the paint scheme. As soon as I saw this special Taifun, I knew which of the five marking variants of the Eduard Profipack [...]
