Second Beaufighter

by Greg Fabian on August 16, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The first Bristol Beaufighter model I built was in the early 1970's when I was a teenager. It was 1:32 scale and I remembered that it didn't fit together very well. I recall painting the model entirely in black and even fabricated the [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Zeke

by Jeremy Millan on August 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is my second completion for the Empire of Japan group build. This Tamiya kit isn't too bad for how old it is. Minimal part count makes it a quick build. It does lack detail but makes a good kit for practice. I built it OOB just adding [...]

by Rodney J. Williams on August 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I promised to post one of my "Out-of-Box" models and here it is. The written data say's I built the model in December, 2006. (14 years ago). Photo's 2 & 3 show's that I already knew how to make scribing templates, with the [...]

1/48 Tamiya (Italeri Re-Pop) Hurricane Mk. I

by Stan Traas on August 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Not a lot to say. As my Mum always said "If you don't have anything nice to say..." But I'd be remiss in failing to mention that a number of parts fit, ahem, not so well. Decals, however were amazingly good- perfectly snuggled [...]

Here is my tribute to the vintage Revell 1/45 scale Ford Consul De Luxe. This is following my goal to build and/or restore some old models that could bring me some good memories. I acquired this model from Andrew Burford (Leicester - [...]

Mustang for 2…or…

by Jim Harley on August 14, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The grocery getter. After my Alclad debacle I decided to strip all the usable parts from the airframe and call it a day. Around that time a friend of mine scored a TF conversion kit with the intention of doing Toulouse Nuts. With nothing [...]
