Polikarpov Po-2, ICM, Hungary, 1957-1959

by Csaba on December 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a short series of aviation history magazines were published in Hungary. The authors made an excellent summary of the Po-2 and its history in Hungarian use. Most of these biplanes were used either by the [...]

Defiant!

by Tim T on December 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Here’s my interpretation of the Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. I, N1801, “Coimbatore II”, from No.264 Squadron, Royal Air Force Duxford, flown by Flying Officer F. D. Hughes and Sergeant F. Gash (gunner). This is another excellent 1/48 [...]

1/48 Eduard Bf-109 G-2 with oils

by George Damian on December 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

In the never ending quest for a simple yet fabulous weathering technique I tried some oils on this Eduard kit. It is the winter camo scheme of a Bf-109 G-2 stationed in Finland in 1943 and now my only regret is that I should have used a [...]

Airfix DHC-1 Chipmunk 1/48 scale

by Doug Thost on December 18, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

The DHC-1 Chipmunk has often been referred to as "the poor man's Spitfire". I've painted this one in civil registration for an aircraft in Malaysia in the early 1970s that my dad used to fly, and have been racing to complete it [...]

Review: Airfix 1/48 De Havilland Chipmunk T.10

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on December 17, 2021 · in Reviews · 11 ≡

It is fairly fresh off the Airfix work desks and you may have a seen a few of them built already, however there might be some interest to see a few sprue shots and close-up stills. First sprue is the wings. Beautiful they are and it seems [...]

1/48 Revell F/A-18E

by Mark P Hartig on December 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This model kit is a curious blend of really nice and rather awful. Fit in some areas was pretty bad, requiring a goodish amount of filler and sanding. The cockpit detail is very weak, hence closed canopy and the molding is somwhat soft. [...]

Shelf of Doom: Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk IXc This kit has been on my “Shelf of Doom” for about three years. I completed it in response to Roy Sutherland’s “Shelf of Doom” group build challenge on the Barracuda Studios Ready Room [...]

by John vd Biggelaar on December 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

After receiving the invitation to participate in this great helicopter group build from our friend Colin @coling, I felt fotunate to participate in it. Since my building preference is the WWII, I thought it would be difficult to find a [...]
