1/48 Hasegawa P-40K-5

by Tom Bebout on February 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Another P-40 from the Bebout Curtiss Factory and this one I like to call Snake on a Plane. I didn't have a Hasegawa P-40K but a did have their P-40E plus a AMTech P-40 with the Black Box resin tail. The Hasegawa P-40 K kit is as scarce as [...]

by John Healy on February 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

Saab SK 60 times three! Part II: a formation of four Saab SK60s called "the Vikings" and the Swedish neutrality.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on February 19, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

The history of the Swedish Air Force is a reflection of the neutral political stance that the great Nordic country developed in the fateful years of the 20th century. In 1905, two years after the first motorised flight had been achieved, [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. I

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 19, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Trumpeter's Swordfish is a great kit. Not only that it is an enlargement of Tamiya's magnificent 1/48th kit, but also that it is impressive thanks to its large size. The texture surface of the biplane is largely canvas. The texture surface [...]

by Michael Turner on February 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This the first of six P-40s I built earlier last year for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. A seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Bf109 E3

by Mark Hedrick on February 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This Is a very easy model to assemble. Only a few issues. Decals were very good to apply. This represents the 109E of Adolf Galland in France in August 1940 well before his Mickey Mouse marked planes. I found several online photos of [...]

by Louis Gardner on February 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 46 ≡

This is a model I recently built. I knew when I heard it was coming out I immediately placed one on Pre Order with Squadron. I am a huge fan of WW2 era Japanese aircraft. When it finally arrived, I posted a kit review on the kit. Next I [...]

by Alistair Gauld on February 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Monogram 1/48 Messerschmitt BF 110G-2 "Zerstörer"

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Monogram's late Zerstörer retains the blunt lines of the fighter/bomber. It has some fit issues, notably the lower joint of fuselage and wings. The model was also criticized for the shape of engine nacelles and small spinners. I chose to [...]

by Rick Schad on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Well here’s another kit! The Tamiya 1/48 scale Bf 109, probably the best Tamiya 1/48 scale kit going. Not much to say except it builds incredibly well!
