by Roland Sachsenhofer on June 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Tamiya 1/48 Tiger 1

by Dennis Meyers on June 26, 2022 · in Armor · 7 ≡

If you’re familiar with my previous articles, you'll know about my affinity for Tamiya 1/48th scale military model kits. Despite their low parts counts they have just about all the detail of 1/35 scale armor kits. There are no flash or [...]

Williams Bros 1/48 Corben Super Ace

by Josh Patterson on June 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Well, I said the Super Ace was hot on the heels of my Ford Flivver and here it is... Fifteen months later! I have to get moving if I'm going to make a dent in the stash! I had built this kit back in the 90's but it is so spindly it did not [...]

by George Damian on June 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

The build was the usual straight business with a Tamiya kit. I repeated the experience of airbrush highlights, using some Tamiya acrylics mixes. For the upper side RLM-71 Dunkelgrun I used XF-62:1+XF-49:1 (olivedrab+khaki), I highlighted [...]

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on June 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

After the French Skyraider, my dad decided to build another one, this time an AD-4NA during the Korean War. He used the Italeri boxing of the old ESCI kit which was first released in 1979. Most Korean War naval schemes are rather boring, [...]

by John vd Biggelaar on June 20, 2022 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

Herewith I present you the Vickers Wellington Mk.Ic from the Polish 301st squadron as used in September 1942. At first I had the idea to build it straight out of the box but since it was a gift from my daughter I decided to make it even [...]

This is my first attempt at a Luftwaffe Eastern Front winter camo scheme, and I chose another of Eduard's lovely 1/48 scale Bf-109 kits as a test subject... Faced with the prospect of the Russian winter and without having plans in place [...]

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair – little to no weathering

by George Damian on June 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is my second attempt to build a Corsair, I tried something new to me: highlighting with the airbrush. Started from a black base, kept the paint inside the panels as tight as possible along the panel lines, than added some tan to the [...]
