1/48 Classic Airframes IAF TA-4H

by Dan DeSilva on January 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here is my second IAF Skyhawk- a TA-4H. The Classic Airframes kit is quite good- with a few issues. The best part of them is the lack of "step" on the leading edge of the wing, for the slat. on the real plane there is no step [...]

1/48 Hasegawa IAF A-4N

by Dan DeSilva on January 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I love the Skyhawk- single seat, two seat, various operators, etc. I initially made the mistake of thinking that you could take the A-4M kit and with decals make it an A-4N. I learned pretty quickly, that not all A-4N airframes had ARBS in [...]

1st Model Kit- Need Help & Feedback

by Derek Bowen on January 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is my very first model kit (1/48 scale Academy P-40) so my learning curve is vertical at the moment and some things I couldn't figure out at all. I use mostly Mr. Color paints. Please provide suggestions/feedback on how to improve. [...]

This One Fought Back

by Phillip Friddell on January 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

But not in the way you might think. The model is Dora Wings' 1/48th scale Dewoitine D.510C modeled to represent an airplane in Chinese service against the Japanese during the late 1930s. The kit, which is essentially a high end short-run [...]

Italeri (Hawk) 1/48 F-5A

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 43 ≡

Small and highly aerodynamic, focusing on performance and a low cost of maintenance, smaller and simpler than its contemporaries, it is not surprising that the F-5 is quite a few times referred as “the F-16 f its time”. Designed for a [...]

Academy /48 Mig 21SM

by Dan DeSilva on January 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

As I am not a Mig 21 expert, I will not say that all of what I did on this build, was absolutely correct. I based the markings on a profile (eek) of Mig 21s in Afghanistan in the 80's. I found a KMC Mig21 MF resin cockpit during one of my [...]

Aleutian Tiger, NOT...1/48 Curtiss P-40K Warhawk, 18th FS/343rd FG, USAAF

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on January 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

When my dad started the Aleutian P-38 last year, I thought wouldn´t it be nice if it had some company? So he built a P-40K. Sadly 1/48 decals for this theatre are rare and we didn´t want to do a usual tigerhead scheme. Finally found a [...]

by Paul van Acker on January 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Blue Max 1/48 Avro 504K completed. RFC/RAF 8 Training Sqn 1918. Not an easy build with the pewter parts but it's the best 504 around in my opinion. EZ line rigging.
