1/48 Hobbycraft A-4PTM

by Dan DeSilva on March 30, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

A-4PTM Here is the Hobbycraft 1/48 A-4C, which comes with Malaysian markings, and a number of issues to be fixed! I built this as an A-4PTM (Peculiar To Malaysia) a long while back, when the kit was first issued. The A-4PTM was developed [...]

1/48 Tamiya FW-190

by David Butler on March 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

I got this as a gift a few months back. I don't normally do German aircraft as I am scared off by the complex camo schemes but I decided to give it a go. This was enjoyable because I was just focused on a nice result not super realism- I [...]

Kinetic 1/48 S-2E Tracker

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Kinetics Tracker is a complex build of an unusual subject. The model is better built with the wings folded. Beyond the space saved in the display area, the compact model is more dynamic looking sine it reveals the underwing stores and [...]

Mr Goodwrench Goes to War – Eduard 1/48 FM-1 Wildcat

by Greg Fabian on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

My latest attempt at model building is this 1/48 scale Eduard FM-1 Wildcat. Of the six or so different paint schemes, I chose this one representing VC-1 stationed on the USS Block Island (CVE-21) in 1943. On May 29, 1944, Block Island was [...]

Academy 1/48 F-111E

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 53 ≡

The origins of the F-111 can be traced back to the early 60s, when both the USAF and USN were seeking their new supersonic, heavily armed, twin seat, twin engine aircraft, where Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, formally directed [...]

Monogram's 1/48 B-26 Marauder "Flak Bait"

by Christina Swank on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I built this kit once back in 2017, only about a year into the hobby. So as you can imagine it was not that great. Since my skills have come along way since then it was time to replace the original with a new one. I regretted that [...]

Revellogram's 1/48 P-61 Black Widow "Jukin Judy"

by Christina Swank on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The reputation of this kit proceeds itself. I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby, the box art caught my eye. That was when I was still fresh to the hobby, and didn't know how bad this kit was. Fortunately before I attempted it I [...]

1/48 S35E Draken "Reconnaissance"

by dagored on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

1/48 scale kit by Hasegawa I finished the kit of the reconnaissance type Draken. The kit was originally very well made, so the modifications were minimal. The paint is weathered and faded to give the overall impression of use.

Hobby Boss, 1:48 Scale, Grumman F8F-1, "Bearcat"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Calling this one FINI! Nice little kit which I built completely OOB. I've always liked Leroy Grumman's 'Hot Rod' as it was called in Grumman Corp. Circles. The kit as it comes OOB, is actually a -1b. I wanted to build a real early [...]

AMK 1/48 Kfir C7

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

AMK's Kfir is a very good kit. It has nicely engraved panel lines and plastic parts are crisply molded. Thus, the fit of parts is very good except for the intakes to fuselage joints. This fault plagues most Mirage type molds of most [...]
