by Dan Lee on September 16, 2021 · in Aviation, Reviews · 24 ≡

INTRODUCTION The MiG-29 9-12 aka MiG-29A “NATO Code Name: Fulcrum” was originally thought by NATO as the lightweight companion fighter to the Su-27 in the Soviet version of the F-X fighter program and the equivalent of the F-16 in [...]

1/48 Hobby Boss ME-262 b-1a/u1 Night Fighter

by chuck brumm on September 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

A great kit. Went together without any issues. Appears to be a well researched and accurate kit. Added some air to air missiles. I know, there is no evidence to support these missiles on the aircraft. I had some left over and thought [...]

1/48 Tamiya Romanian Bf-109 E

by George Damian on September 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Another Romanian subject, this time a Bf-109 E. This model tries to replicate a machine that fought on the Eastern Front, including Stalingrad, with the help of a great Tamiya kit and RB decals. What baffled me was that Romanian fighter [...]

GasPatch Models 1/48 Me 163B Komet.

by Alistair Gauld on September 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

What a fantastic kit this is. Any issues were of my own making and that was only a slight misalignment of the Cannon Cartridge Ejector Chute which caused a little fit issue with the wings. Everything else was a great fit. Primed with [...]

Not an Emil!

by Phillip Friddell on September 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

The dust has barely settled on my last post (yesterday's Bf109E-7) and I'm already sharing another one, but there's a reason for it! The model is FineMolds' recent Mitsubishi A5M2b "Claude", done with the kit decals in the [...]

Spitfire MKVIII RAAF (Otaki 1/48)

by Paulo Castro on September 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

HI all Here is something different for me. I usually build in 1/72nd scale but I had this old (70's) Otaki/ARII 1/48th scale kit sitting in my stash and I decided to get it a go. The kit show its age, but surprisingly it goes together [...]

I Might Be in a Rut…

by Phillip Friddell on September 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Yep; it's me again with yet another 109! This time the object of my affection is the Tamiya kit, done as a Bf109E-7 from 9/JG 27 during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Unlike the Airfix kit I posted last time around this one has [...]

1/48 Douglas A-20 by AMT

by dale travis on September 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 48 ≡

Lots of aftermarket items added to this build. The engines, cowlings, propellers, control surfaces, cockpit, control panel, guns, and wheels. Foxbot decals were also used to replace the kit ones. I fabricated the pitot head on the fin, [...]

1/48 Fine Molds A5M2b Claude

by Dan Lee on September 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Just some photos from my recent build of a Fine Molds A5M2b Claude. Very easy kit to build and no major issues. I really enjoyed building this one. I'll write a full article soon (too busy.) To get the slight gold/yellow tone of the [...]
