Clostermann’s Tempest in 1/48

by Justin Bronk on March 30, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Eduard's excellent but slightly tricky-to-build quarter scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V finished as Pierre Clostermann's mount at the end of the Second World War. The kit is a bit fiddly by Eduard standards but fit is generally good. The only [...]

Scratch built 1/32 f6f-3 hellcat

by Rodney J. Williams on March 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I acquired some cockpit and wheel well photo's, so I did my best to duplicate all of these items into this 1/32 scale model. I had to call upon my art talent to draw some logos that the pilot had someone paint on his airplane and/or apply [...]

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Hi everyone! This is my Fonderie Miniature 1/48 SE 2415 Grogard II, built in 2003. The Grognard was designed by SNCASE as a single-seat, low-level ground-attack aircraft. Although in development in the 1950s for the French Armée de [...]

1/48 Airfix Glster Javelin FAW.9/9R

by David Kopielski on March 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This build was the Airfix 1/48 scale kit of the Gloster Javelin FAW .9/9R. I used Eduard’s Photo etch set and the kit decals. The Javelin is a large aircraft so even in 1/48 scale it takes up some room.The kit is nice in fit and details. [...]

Video: Tamiya 1:48 F4U-2 Corsair

by iModeler Youtube Picks on March 24, 2020 · in How-to

For a kit that's over 20 years old, Tamiya still holds their own. This was a very fun kit to build and to paint up. I was really surprised by how easy Army Painter paints were to airbrush. I used Vallejo Airbrush Thinner at about a 60-40 [...]

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 22

by Thiago C. M. Pacheco on March 24, 2020 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Hello, fellas. Hope you are all safe and having a good time buiding models at home! This kit has been reviewed several times. It was great when it came out (1996, IIRC), but has since been surpassed by Airfix’s new releases. The cockpit [...]

P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit

by Justin Bronk on March 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]

Revell 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

by Tom Bebout on March 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is my latest off the bench and one that gave me lots of problems. Most if not all of the issues were self inflicted. The kit supplied cockpit is OK but wanting more I found a True Detail set a.k.a. Victor, that I was really happy [...]
