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 [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A-4E/H IDF

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Early Skyhawk variants used in the IDF included the E and H models. The H variant had an upgraded J-52 engine together with improved avionics and 30mm guns instead of the 20mm guns. In addition, a rear cover on the engine exhaust pipe was [...]

ProModeler 1/48 SB2C Helldiver

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

ProModeler excellent kit with KMC wing fold set.

"And kill MiGs": Zoukei Mura F-4E Phantom

by Marshall Blythe on September 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I finished Zoukei Mura's very nice 1/48 F-4E Phantom yesterday. It's a well-engineered and highly detailed kit. The only problems I encountered were self-inflicted by yours truly and his many thumbs. I'm mainly a "jet guy", [...]

Skunkworks II: 1/48th Italeri SR-71A Blackbird

by Fly Past Rush on September 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This 1/48th Italeri SR-71A Blackbird kit was introduced by Italeri back in the early 1980s, and then re-offered by Testors a few years later. It is huge and typically recognizable, so will attract attention on the shelf, however the kit [...]
