1/48 Tamiya Focke-Wulf FW-190F-8

by James Kelley on April 30, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I haven't built one of these in awhile, so I decided to just relax and have some fun with it. Aside from a little putty around the area where the cowling meets the wings' leading edge, this kit goes together very well. The markings are for [...]

Review: Newly landed on my doorstep – Ark Models 1/48 Lavochkin La-11

by Tom Cleaver on April 29, 2021 · in Reviews · 18 ≡

I ordered this from a dealer in Russia back last December. It finally showed up last Saturday (thanks much, Louie DeNoJoy). It's a simple kit. Far better than the limited-run Mikro-Mir kit. Panel lines look heavy when compared with photos [...]

by George V Guimaraes on April 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Hello! This is my recent project, a nice kit of this iconic jet. It's an old toll, and it shows it in some ways, but it also can be built into a nice model . Except fot the canopy masks, everything OOB. All my references showed these USAF [...]

by Ben Walmsley on April 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This project was a long time coming as work and family commitments must trump modelling time. Nevertheless, here is my 1/48 Mk V spit from Tamiya, finished at last! Operation Starkey was a ruse, and part of a larger deception plan carried [...]

by Tony Anderton on April 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Thought i'd try my hand at a larger scale aircraft for a change. So, went BIG...1:48th Scale B17 "Memphis Belle". Kit was reasonably cheap (and i found out why) so i decided that this would be a baptism of fire and bought an [...]

1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Model 32 Hamp

by Jeremy Millan on April 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I think this is my fourth build for The Empire of Japan Group. Nice kit for being so old but it does lack the detail of the newer kits. I decided to do the field applied paint scheme to change it up a bit and it was a lot of fun. Painted [...]
