1/48 A2N3 Naval Fighter – Empire of Japan Group Build.

by John Healy on June 29, 2020 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

This is the new A.B. & K. kit which I purchased direct from the manufacturer in the Czech Republic. This model really came out of left field and represents one of my Holy Grail subjects which I thought would never be kitted in 1/48. [...]

by Greg Kittinger on June 29, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Couple of my fellow club members built 1/48 Hs 129's in N. African desert scheme, and inspired me to pull this old kit out of the stash. I decided to go eastern front winter scheme, after seeing this beauty by fellow iModeler Morne Meyer [...]

Hasegawa 1/72 F-4EJ Kai

by Greg Kittinger on June 29, 2020 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Finally finished another of my Phantom builds. I used a set of dry transfers for the stenciling and panel numbers (at least 50 hours of effort - details in the build thread). Don't know that I want to do that again! Added some pilots and [...]

Heinkel He 280 in 1/48

by Ben Walmsley on June 29, 2020 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

This is my Eduard 1/48 He 280 prototype jet fighter. The Heinkel He 280 was the first aircraft designed solely as a fighter to make a jet powered flight. It also has the dubious distinction of being responsible for the first pilot ejection [...]

Tamiya 1/48 De Havilland Mosquito PR Mk.IV

by Alistair Gauld on June 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Hi There, This kit was given to me by my latest trainee at work after he passed out as a thank-you. This is the first time in over 30 years that this has happened to me and I was very touched by it. Undercoat - Ultimate Primer Grey Paints [...]

Merkava mk1 hybrid

by Carmelo Rodrigo on June 28, 2020 · in Armor · 6 ≡

A merkava. Many years ago I built the Tamiya Merkava and lost it. Some time ago I found an offer for this model made by Takom and decided to buy it to assemble it when there was time. This specific tank model is one of the ones that I find [...]

by Dmitry Stropalov on June 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 38 ≡

Again this is a new model kit of a Polish manufacturer Arma Hobby, released in May this year (2020). FM-2 kit is the first variant of the F4F's, and more to come - the clear sprue contains fuselage windows not needed for this GM-built [...]

Academy 1/48 MiG-21 MF Fishbed J, Syrian Air Force, 1982 Lebanon War

by Richard Bungay on June 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This is a pretty good kit which goes together without problems. There's a bit of a step between the the front and rear fuselage sections that I wished I had paid more attention to. I used Eduard wheels and the AirRes cockpit set. I also [...]

Italeri 1/72 OA-10A NAIL FAC

by Tom Rodgers on June 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

During my USAF career, I had the honor and pleasure to fly the A-10 Wart Hog for twelve years. It was a joy to fly…and to say that shooting the GUN was a thrill is an understatement. I built this kit for an old fighter pilot friend of [...]
