Eduard’s Zero Type 11

by Ben Walmsley on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

G’day folks, here is an early zero from Eduard. Nice kit but I managed to find a way to make it difficult. Despite exercising due care on the construction of the wheel wells and main wing, I had trouble mating it to the fuselage. I had [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 Whirlwind

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A sketchy design from Trumpeter yet, without fatal mistakes. Decals are glossy and brightly colored and need to mute down or be replaced. Nonetheless, the model can be turned around to decently represent a unique aircraft that had a brief [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ta 152C-0

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Kurt Tank's successor of the Focke wulf designed as a low altitude fighter interceptor. The kit was a late issue by Dragon after the Ta-152H kit and carries some common sprues. Similarly, it is highly detailed and the building experience [...]

Bf-109 E-4 Trop and Kubelwagen diorama

by Manuel Magrinho on September 11, 2024 · in Diorama · 26 ≡

My Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109 E-4 Trop and Kubelwagen diorama, finished last Dec 2023, has been waiting for some photos. Here, at last! Insignias and national marks were masked and painted. A lot of work but I thinks it worth it (see notes on [...]

My attempt at the Hasegawa Macchi C.202 Folgore 1:48

by Joel Rogers on September 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I have liked the look of this airframe for some time now and wanted to attempt this kit. I waited until I had some more practice with the airbrush since I knew this was going to be a challenge. I also wanted to use masks for most of the [...]

Italeri 1/48 Sea Hurricane

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Italeri's Hurricane is a mixed bag. Panel lines and details are nicely engraved. Yet, the joints need to be worked on because some parts are crudely molded. Nonetheless, in the end the model looks like a Sea Hurricane.

Revell 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The venerable Eagle is perhaps, one of Revell's best kits. A highly detailed kit that builds without much effort into an impressive model that looks like the real aircraft. The only design snag that I found is the poor fit in the [...]

B-25D Tondelayo T1/48th scale, Accurate Miniatures 1/48th scale

by Wayne Landis on September 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

The goal of the project was to represent B-25D-1 #41-30669 Tondelayo of the 500th B.S. at Nadzab in June of 1944. My key reference is the excellent history of the 345th Bombardment Group Warpath Across the Pacific by Lawrence J. Hickey. I [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

by Mark Hedrick on September 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This is a nice kit and goes together well. I only had two issues. The canopy sits too high so I had to file off the bottom to make it sit lower. The bushing inside the engine did not seat properly so the propeller shaft would not [...]

Revell 1/48 Arado 234C-3

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

The Arado 234C was equipped with four BMW 003A instead of the pair of Jumo 004 engines. Not only that the aircraft gained additional thrust, but also more Jumo engines could boost the Me 262 manufacturing effort. Revell's Arado is an [...]
