by Tom Cleaver on March 1, 2024 · in Reviews · 15 ≡

Since the development history of the Bf-109E series is well-known and available here with other reviews, this will focus on Adolf Galland's role in the development of different camouflage and markings during the Battle of Britain that [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He 219A-7

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

The Uhu is another gem from Tamiya. An accurate depiction of a complex aircraft that is easy to build. A custom made cockpit tub weight is included to balance the very heavy tail. Hence, there are no build distractions that in turn, [...]

by dale travis on February 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

On the evening of June 23rd 1942 Oblt. Faber landed on an airfield he thought was in western France. It turned out he was landing at RAF Pembrey in Wales, thus presenting the RAF with a perfectly intact 190. After testing Faber's plane the [...]

Tamiya Sturmvogel

by David Odenwald on February 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the classic Tamiya Me 262 kit in 1/48. Had started it and a Monogram Schwable way back in 2016. Had wanted to build a plane base at Rheine since I had been TDY at that base when it had F-4F Phantom IIs. Well hit a few hiccups like [...]

AFC Club 1/48 F-5E/N VFC-111 Sundowners

by David Meyer on February 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 38 ≡

This is my first build post on iModeler, and it is the 1/48 F-5E/N by AFC Club. I've always liked the camo schemes of the VFC-111 "Sundowners" aircraft, and chose to do the 3 grays one, with the decals for it included in the box. [...]

Airfix 1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.4 – 815 NAS Ark Royal 1958.

by Alistair Gauld on February 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

What a kit. It all just fits together. The wings are still just a dry fit. I need to give a massive shout out to Airfix and their customer service as they replaced my clear sprue after i'd cracked two of the canopies whilst polishing. I [...]

by mark poulton on February 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is my recently completed Airfix 1/48th Westland Sea King. This kit is a vast improvement on the old Hasegawa kit and in particular is the inclusion of a fully detailed and equipped interior. I have completed a couple of the Hasegawa [...]

Kinetic 1/48 Mirage IIID Nesher

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

The most beautiful aircraft design ever produced, the Mirage had many variants. One of them was the IDF "Nesher", an identical version of the Mirage 5 that was under the French arms embargo. A handful of these aircraft were [...]

Review: Hobby Boss 1/48th B-24J Kit #81774

by Walt on February 26, 2024 · in Reviews · 9 ≡

The history of the B-24 has been written many times by people far more knowledgeable than me. During World War Two, it was used in every theater of the war, and produced in greater numbers than any other American aircraft. A historically [...]

Eduard 1/48 Mig 21MT/SMT

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 25, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

The Mig 21SMT was developed as a long range fighter/bomber carrying additional fuel in enlarged cells located on the spine and a more powerful engine. The modifications resulted with reduced performance and increased flight instability. [...]
