Review: Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Vb (late) EP120

by Tom Cleaver on November 18, 2022 · in Reviews · 25 ≡

With the arrival of the Fw 190 in August 1941 the Spitfire Vb was outclassed in everything but turning radius. As Al Deere said, “Turning doesn’t win battles!” In an effort to counter the Fw-190 threat at lower altitudes, where the [...]

Monogram B-24D "Sleepy / The Squaw" Bond Tour Markings in 1/48th Scale

by Walt on November 17, 2022 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

I have always really liked the B-24 and have built a few of these kits over the years. Ungainly looking, and never getting the love from the press and many aircrews that the B-17 did, I still love it. When I was young I read a lot of [...]

Hi All! Here is another Spitfire, this time a Spitfire MK.I PR Type Ic (early or first). It started out as an Airfix 1/48th scale Spitfire Vb, which led to more work but I had run out of Spitfire Is. The wings had the bulges removed ( I [...]

by Harvey R. on November 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I've built a lot of clean models this year, and what better excuse to make a beaten up bird than a Japanese subject? I ordered this while waiting for some supplies for other projects to arrive and have had fun beating up this big 1/48 [...]

Revell 1/48 SR-71 Blackbird

by Chris Wallace on November 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Revell Blackbird is up on its stand. I made an effort to finish the model with a 'well worn' but not abused look. I used several reference photos of Blackbirds to help me. Everything except the decals and the pilots are out of box [...]
