Welcome to the Whipple Special (named after a notorious contest attendee who built nothing unless he could build at least two of them) of the Airfix and (newer) Classic Airframes Defiants. As we live in the Golden Age of Modeling, kits are [...]

Experimental: Curtiss XP-55 Ascender – Modelsvit 1/48

by Andrew H on November 7, 2020 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Another one completed for the shelf, this time another popular kit from Modelsvit, the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender. This plane is unique for a number of reasons, but most obvious is its swept wing profile and its rear facing pusher prop. I [...]

What-if… RAAF Dassault Rafale

by Michael Turner on September 26, 2020 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is the second in a series of ‘what if’ aircraft that I’m building. In 1999 the Australian Department of Defence announced Project AIR 6000 "New Air Combat Capability (NACC)", which was intended to find a replacement [...]

What-If Build: North American FJ-1 (P-51) – Revell 1/48

by Andrew H on July 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Or would it have been an FJ-0, and by what name... "Seahorse"? "Fury"? 🙂 This one was purely for fun, just wanted to share. I did this one up some time ago.. not really good by any means, nor was it ever meant to be. [...]

by Morne Meyer on June 24, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 32 ≡

Although serving in small numbers towards the end of World War II, Lockheed’s pugnacious fighter made a name for itself as a fighter and strike bomber during the Korean War. To commemorate the start of the Korean War 70 years ago and to [...]

by Michael Turner on October 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This model represents F/A-18A A21-8, the first Hornet to be delivered to a RAAF combat squadron. In August 1985, 2 Operational Conversion Unit (2OCU) commenced training Hornet pilots using the first four F/A-18B two-seater Hornets to be [...]

Two shiny "little friends": here is the first one.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 2, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Recently, I have decided to once again tackle a rather problem-free construction. Having Airfix's 1:24 P-51 on my workbench and two 1:32 Mustangs from Revell and Trumpeter, I chose the Tamiya kit. A few etched parts from Eduard freshened [...]

Review: The new Eduard P-51

by Tom Cleaver on August 16, 2019 · in Reviews · 25 ≡

As it turns out, there is more to the P-51D than many modelers have previously thought. There are minor but important differences between each sub-type, from whether they have a dorsal fin or not, to whether or not they have fabric-covered [...]

I would like to show you pictures of two B-25G in 1:48 which are currently under construction. Both are based on the excellent Accurate Miniatures shapes and are equipped with different after market parts. At the moment I have closed all [...]
