by Thomas Peters on January 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

My Patrouille Suisse is build with 6 Gashapon kits from Japan. I bought them around 10 years ago before they became ridiculously expensive on Ebay. Detail level of the single airplane is no match if compared with the old Revell kit. I [...]

by dale travis on January 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Medallion Models resin kit circa 1990 or so. This is still the most accurate kit of the P-36/Hawk75 in this scale. This model represents an aircraft from the Royal Thai Air Force, 85th Wing, Dom Muang 1944. As one can see this is an old [...]

Tamiya Swordfish Mk.II 1/48, Any Color as long it's Black

by Aleksandar Sekularac on January 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

In my black book there’s a list and in that list a word “Stringbag”, written a long time ago. The ink is all pale and faded-like, but I can cross it now! It wasn’t until I tied my horse in front of the iModeler Saloon many moons [...]

This build is the first of a series of Grumman 'cats that I plan to build in time. The kit is the revered Tamiya offering with the pronounced rivet details. This kit went together exceptionally well, no surprise there. I finished this one [...]

Airwar over Austria...Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-6/AS JG27

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on January 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

First 109 for the new season and first new Eduard G-6/AS. A troublefree build like all their new 109s. But the molded on pitot tube still looks off and like with their G-10 kits the elevator trim tabs are too small. The antenna mast has [...]

The Little Yellow Cub

Memories of the J-3 Cub. There was a time during my childhood the name “Piper Cub” was pretty much synonymous with the word “airplane.” In those days, a young boy might see a C-124 passing overhead whereupon he would exclaim, [...]
