Desert Liberators: 1/48th and 1/72nd scale B-24D compared

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Monogram's Liberator was built as a restoration challenge of a bargain kit that missed most of the transparent parts and others. In particular interest was forming the nose glass section. I borrowed from a friend the transparent tree [...]

1/48 Airfix F-51 "Rotation Blues"

by David Butler on January 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Here is my take on Airfix's Korean War F-51. Great kit with excellent value. Built OOB with a few scratchbuilt modifications- namely a seat cushion with seat belts and some additional Korean War radio equipment that was not included in [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Nagajima Ki84 TYPE4 FIGHTER HAYATE(FRANK) 10th Operational Flying Training Unit

by dagored on January 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit I finished my personal favorite kit, which is one of Hasegawa's most well-made kits. We focused on the metal representation and weathering of the used fuselage to finish it. Riveted expressions are added throughout [...]

Academy 1/48 A-10C

by Mark P Hartig on January 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The most trouble free aircraft model I've ever put together, I can't sing praise enough. The only AM are the seabelts, and I tossed in a few bombs I had lying about spare. Painted in Tammy Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey with a black Flory's [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
