Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb 1/48

by Felix on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Having just completed the Mk.1 Spitfire by Airfix, i decided to do another one. This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Vb in 1/48th scale. It represents a plane of No. 133 squadron in Biggin Hill in 1942. Decals are from the kit. I [...]

ProModeler Monogram 1/48 Me 410B-1

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Another adorable model by ProModeler. It was criticized for panel shape in the tail unit and some fit issues. Yet, overall it makes an eye catching representation of the fighter that did not materialize the expectations. I added Aires set [...]

Eduard Fw 190A-7 1/48

by Keith on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

What a journey building this A-7! I will be finishing up an accompanying Fw 190D-9 within a few days and will be starting a diorama they will be displayed on. I chose this specific scheme for its unique color pattern. It called for RLM 76, [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G Belgian Starfighter

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

A very nice model by Hasegawa. Cockpit and ejection seats by Aires. The Belgian Air Force Starfighters had Lockheed C2 ejection seats with a cradle-like harness, which is well depicted by Aires. Unfortunately, in this particular model, the [...]

Bud's other "Old Crow" – Airfix P-51D

by Tom Cleaver on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I realized just now that I never posted a full article on Bud Anderson's other "Old Crow," the P-51D-15 he flew during his second tour with the 357th. I did this with the Airfix 1/48 P-51D when it came out back in 2015. I had the [...]

Bud Anderson's P-51B "Old Crow"

by Tom Cleaver on July 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

The Airplane: After my friend Brigadier General Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson passed away on 17 May 2024, and having received review copies of the new Bullseye decals for 357th Fighter Group P-51Bs, I decided to make this model of Bud’s [...]

Academy 1/48 Spitfire XIVc and Bubble Canopy

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

An old Academy mold kit that became synonym with KMC resin set to correct the shape of the nose, rudder and spinner. Two kits are presented here. Yet, I had only one KMC set. The Bubble Canopy PR Griffon Spitfire was scratch made using [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-2 Corsair

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Tamiya's 1/48 Corsair is a magical kit. Although not a shake and bake kit, it takes little effort to give the built model a realistic look.

1/48 scale Bristol kit by Eduard

by Rick Schad on July 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I love Eduard more and more, especially their WW1 aircraft. Great detail, great instructions and plenty of options. This Bristol is a challenging build, especially when it comes to rigging. If you haven’t done rigging before, this [...]

Eduard: 1/48 A6M2 Zero Type 21

by Eric Berg on July 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built Eduard’s Zero strictly OOB, nothing added except for brake lines, because this ProfiPak edition doesn’t need a thing more. It’s all here in the box to build a near perfect looking A6M2 Type 21 with no rough spots or [...]
