A fellow iModeler is building the Academy press-fit F-4J, so I decided to show my F/A-18F. It build up quickly and is an impressively-engineered model. Check out George's progress on his F-4J here... Check it out here: (link) Enjoy! Mike

Yellow Nose Airfix Spitfire 1/48

by Dan Lee on July 9, 2019 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is a kit I built a couple of years back. It is the 2015 release (2nd pressing) of the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk I. It is mostly OOB with the exception of some Eduard RAF early style harnesses. I learned the hard way that unless the [...]

Italeri (Accurate Miniatures) A-36

by Mike Licari on July 6, 2019 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I really like the AM line of early P-51s and A-36s. Here's the most recent one I've built, released by Italeri. Straight OOB, even the decals, except for the yellow wing stripes, which I painted instead of using the decals. I used Model [...]
