by Kyle Koppos on July 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Greetings. I keep saying I’ll undertake something easier, but I never do. This is the Airfix 1/48 de Havilland DH.82a done up as a Swedish Sk-11a machine from the 30s. It had a particularly long gestation period, as biplanes tend to do, [...]

Mean looking Warhawk

by Ben Walmsley on July 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

This is a Hobby 2000 reboxing of Hasegawa’s 1/48 P-40N. Aside from PE belts and resin exhausts, it’s built out of the box. Not the most original scheme, but arguably the meanest looking fighter of the war, so it was a “must have” [...]
