PZL 11c

by Scott Nelson on March 12, 2020 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I picked this kit up a few weeks ago from a vendor table at a recent contest. It’s the old Heller 1/72 PZL 11c. This is a basic but nice kit. I added some framing in the cockpit, seatbelts, landing strut bracing wire and antenna wires. [...]

P-38F Lightning, Moms favorite, 1/72 Hasegawa

by Robert Royes on March 11, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Inspired by the recent P-38 builds of late, I acquired a vintage Hasegawa kit, where you have to do a little surgery on the nacelles to model the F version. Using a combo of spares and USAAF letters and number sheet from Microscale, I did [...]

Major Walter Sigel’s Ju 87R-2 from Stab I./StG 3 – The Cockpit

by Peter Steinemann on March 10, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Unlike many for whom cockpits are a chore, I love building and detailing the pilots workplace. First I had to decide if I use the Aires cockpit set 4026 intended for the Hasegawa kit or going with the kit parts. As my copy of the Aires set [...]

Airfix Fokker F-27 – 1/72 scale

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on March 10, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I had the intention to build the old Revell Fokker F-27 in 1/94 scale as it brings me good memories, however, I had the Airfix model in 1/72 scale in my stash so I went with this model instead. Although this kit was injected in a 1960 [...]
