Revell 1/48 F-89J Scorpion

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 73 ≡

The origins of the F-89 (the name Scorpion came from the elevated tail and high-mounted horizontal stabilizers) can be traced back in summer 1945, when USAAF issued a specification for a twin engine night fighter to replace the P-61 Black [...]

Tora Tora Tora!

by Keith on January 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 47 ≡

This build took roughly a year to complete and features 3 Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft involved in the assault on Pearl Harbor. I discovered this kit from Hasegawa around the fall of 2022 and had a pretty rough time tracking it down. [...]

Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale, Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb (Trop)

by Frederick J Seitz III on January 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is one of those kits that was removed from the infamous, "Shelf of Doom!". Those shelves are like opinions, and everybody's got one...(Among other things...;) "Shelf of Doom", "Bin of Shame", as model builders, we all [...]

A tale about a tail.

by Paul van Acker on January 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

1/48 Hasegawa Messerschmitt Me109G-6. Htm Franz Dorr, CO of 111/JG5, Gossen, Norway. May 1945. This one was started years ago when I realised I didn't have the right tail section for the version I was doing. I had a G-14 short tail. [...]

Two Monogram 1/48 Heinkel He-111H variants

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

The H variant was the most produced Heinkel He-111 aircraft and a diversified service carrier. The night and torpedo variants are themes in Monogram's He-111 series. As a later Monogram model, it has recessed panel lines and is well [...]

Kinetic 1/48 CF-188A RCAF Demo Team 2017

by Alistair Gauld on January 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This one languished around for quite a while before I got started with it. It was bought because I thought the scheme was fantastic but left alone because I feared messing up the decals. It needed to be built so I decided to get on with [...]

My 2023 Builds

by Bob Torres on January 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

It has been a while since my last post so I figured I better get my wheels rolling again. A little late on posting my builds from 2023 but here they are. A little different year for me but happy with the results. I had my usual fun [...]

Fifty years of service in the IDF: Monogram 1/48 C-47/DC-3

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Three camouflage schemes characterize much of the Dakota (also in Hebrew) appearance in its long service since the War of Independence. The blue and brown scheme was introduced in the mid 50s. It was replaced by the multicolored version by [...]

1/48 Accurate Miniatures P-51C

by Tom Bebout on January 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Started in 23 but finally finished is my first completion in 2024. It is the old A/M P-51C kit which is a P-51B with the tail fillet joint. For some reason I seem to be concentrating on checker tail birds especially those from the 325th [...]

Fokker D.VII's

by gary sausmikat on January 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 46 ≡

Hi All, Finally finished five Fokkers! Though a rewarding project, at times it was tedious (fiddly kit parts, keeping each build parts separated, lozenge decals) and monotonous (over and over steps X 5). I am pleased with the outcome but [...]
