ICM has released computer shots of the new B-26B-50 (Korean War) version of their upcoming B-26 Invader. Finally! It looks right, and it's the 8-gun nose version. I will definitely be getting one of these! Coming this fall! UPDATED INFO: [...]

Mirage F1 AZ 1/32 Scale, Scratch Build. Part 8

by Marc Barris on August 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Another update for all you die hard modelers out there, Man, this is really turning into a labour of love, and hate. I managed to finish the intakes, this was not as bad as I thought it would be, and I managed to get the fit ok, did a [...]

Full Battle of Britain fighter stable finished!

by Justin Bronk on August 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Seven months back I build Tamiya's new release Spitfire Mk.1 and decided to do one of each of the fighters used in the Battle of Britain in 1/48 scale. With the Bf 109E-3 I posted about yesterday, the collection is finished! Little video [...]

Josef Priller’s Bf 109E-3 in 1/48

by Justin Bronk on August 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

by IAN JACKSON on August 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Kinetic 1/48 F-16XL

by Matt Buxton on August 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I've always liked the look of the F-16XL and so have always wanted to build one. This was an OK kit to build, there were some issues with the ordinance and I now have a huge amount of spare parts for a 1/48 F-16 as there are parts for [...]

My Masterpiece

by Robert Knaack on August 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

I did this model a few years ago, but after seeing some really nice B-25s here on iModeler, I decided to share my Monogram PBJ-1J with you all. I call this my "masterpiece" because it's my best example of getting everything [...]
