This is my Tarangus, 1/48th Scale, JA-37 Viggen. I bought this kit when it was first released, but it stayed in my stash for a long time, because, quite frankly, I wasn’t sure my skills were up to the task of recreating the iconic [...]

Hello fellow modelers, This is my first post, and I thought I'd start with one of my recent builds, the Italeri 1/48th scale CH-21. I'm a retired Army aviator, so I thought it fitting to start with a helicopter. Overall, this was a nice [...]

by neil foster on July 14, 2019 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Hi all , it's been a while since my last posting but here we are. This is an Arii kit of the brilliant F4U Corsair, it seems strange for me to say that as a lifelong modeller I've never built one of these before in any scale so when I saw [...]

Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-5, Wilde Sau, Eduard, 1/48

by Erik Gjørup on July 14, 2019 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This one has been waiting for the last few details for some time, and was actually started in October 2018! I really liked the colors of “white 1” from JG300, but sadly my airbrush skills were not up to the thin lines needed for that [...]

by Andrey Rybushkin on July 13, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Hello friends! I present to you my work that I did in 2017. A huge red box with a beautiful pattern of the prototype model contained very old details! Perhaps set released in the mid-1980s. The low quality of the set and poor detailing [...]

Back with the C-47

I have begun assembly of this magnificent bird. Gaps are to be filled with Tamiya putty, and then I will put on the wings, and then a final layer of dope, and then it's time to paint! There are various patch spots where my clumsy self [...]
