Crow's Nest Mercury Spacecraft

by Brian Powell on December 10, 2024 · in Space · 19 ≡

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard sat in a glorified garbage can atop a converted ballistic missile and was lofted 263 miles from Cape Canaveral, FL to the North Atlantic just off the Bahamas. He sat in the cramped capsule for 4 hours before [...]

Fonderie Miniature F11F-1 Tiger

by Pip Moss on December 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Knowing the reputation of Fonderie Miniature kits, I probably would never have gotten around to building this one had it not been for my club's annual build theme of "Blue." The kit epitomizes short-run multi-media: rough [...]

1/72 KP Spitfire PR Mk XI

by Geoffrey Abreu on December 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This is my first completed model for the year. I had a lot of other things going on and did not manage to finish much this year. This is the 1/72 KP Spitfire MK XI. I have wanted to have one of these USAAF Spitfires in PRU blue in my [...]

Wingnut Wings' LVG C.VI

by Paul Higgins on December 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This build shows my LVG C.VI in the markings of FAA233 in the closing months of WW1. One of the earliest WnW kits, it builds up into a very nice model and I like the contrast of camouflage, lozenge and black and white panels as well as [...]

Scissors & Plane Bf109G-10 Paper model 1/ 100 scale

by Neil on December 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Still need some more practice but the smaller I get the more challenging it becomes to make joints fit properly and remember to printout cut lines. Overall I feel really happy with the final outcome of this model. Makes mye want to do a [...]

1/72 Me-410 Hornisse, Frog F178

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

One of those planes that looked like a winner and didn’t quite pan out that way, I always considered the Me-410 looked like a mean machine. It did do considerable damage once the Me-210/410 design was finalized, but the history books do [...]

1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco, VINTAGE Revell H-648

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Another inspiration while reading R.S.Tucks biography, 'Fly for your Life', I did not know that the Regia Aeronautica sent aircraft to participate in the Battle of Britain. One learned fact the book does report was that the Fiat C.R.42 [...]

Eduard 1/72 Bf-109G-6 Hermann Graf.

by James Kelley on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Here's another Eduard '109. I used a lot of Eduard's 3D printed aftermarket sets (7 to be exact), which I will list below. The kit, as you know, is just the best. The decals really came through on this build, especially the red "tulip [...]
