Dragon 1/72 Mistel 5 He-162/Arado E-377a

by Alistair Gauld on August 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Hi There, This was started at the same time as the Typhoon and has continued a bit longer being worked on whilst doing my Buccaneer. Three kits in one really. The Trolley and the Arado were little gems that were a joy to build but the [...]

Darth Vader to spoil the day: Incom T-65B X-Wing

by Roland Sachsenhofer on August 6, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 11 ≡

To write something new about the Incom T-65 X-Wing would probably mean carrying Dactillions to Galactic City, because one thing can be said for sure: the X-Wing has not only proven to be one of the most successful space fighter concepts [...]

Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair 1/48 Scale

by Terry Schuler on August 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

When Tamiya came out with their excellent Corsair, I had to jump at the chance to build one. Of coarse this led to another and another, and so on. You know how that is ! Plenty has been said about the kit, over the last few years so I'll [...]

1/48 Airfix Messerschmitt Bf109E

by Jeremy Millan on August 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is the first model I made from an over 3 year hiatus of model making. I made it when the pandemic started when I was laid off. In turn that’s what started me to make models again. This is a nice little kit. Everything pretty much [...]

So you want to be a Naval Aviator?

by Rob Anderson on August 5, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 11 ≡

I haven't posted in a bit as I continue on with my Trumpeter A-1H build. I decided I wanted a pilot in the cockpit, but my choices in 1/32 were pretty much...nadda. The ZM pilot is hard to find, and not all that great. Aerobonus does [...]

Fuel/Maintenance Anti-Gravity Barge

by Charles King on August 5, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 14 ≡

The thought process behind this build was simple. This is what the subject title entails. An old soon-to-be retired anti-gravity fuel/maintenance anti-gravity barge that service large spaceships that enters within an atmosphere.

UH100 Black Hawk – Upgrade Design

by Charles King on August 5, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 10 ≡

First of all, I must say that the Italeri, UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the [...]

CF-104 Starfighter – Hasegawa 1/48

by Colin Gomez on August 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

Here is my attempt at modeling the CF-104 Starfighter in 1/48th scale. This is my one and only Bare Metal Foil model - it was pretty labor intensive but worth the effort. I applied the BMF panel by panel and mostly used Matt Aluminum [...]
