Testors 1/48 OV-10A Bronco Workbench update

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

UPDATE 22/3/2020 Hello my friends, I can see things are really tough for poor Italy, Spain and others gradually not looking too good as well. Here in Greece things start to escalate in a bad way, we will see how it goes. Hoping for the [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Hs 129B-2

by Stan Traas on March 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

A very good kit, especially considering it's age. A lazy paint job on my part... no effort at topside shading/weathering, etc. I'm not such a fan of the Eastern front or Schlachtgeschwaderen, but it's a twin and not something you see [...]

A Wolf In Cat's Wings

by Dan Lee on March 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

INTRODUCTION “There isn't enough thrust in Christendom to fix this plane.” With that sentence, Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly sealed the fate of the F-111B and his Navy career. Out of the ashes of a plane totally unsuited for carrier [...]

by David Kopielski on March 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the Freedom Models 1/48 scale F-20A Tigershark. Built by Northrop (before they became Northrop Grumman). They used the F-5E as a base and modified many aspects of the frame and avionics to make the F-5G. When the USAF started the [...]

Tamiya 1/48th Scale Corsair

by Rick Schad on March 17, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Well while we try and stay coronavirus free I am doing a lot of model building. Here is my finished Tamiya 1/48 scale F4-U Corsair. I have to say this was the worst fitting Tamiya kit that I have built. Weak wing assemblies, weak landing [...]

1/48 Scale F8F-2 GULFHAWK 4.

by Rodney J. Williams on March 16, 2020 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The real aircraft was not a "racer." I went to what we call here in the U.S.A. as an "Air-Show" which had several airplanes, along with many other airplane related items. Mike is a fellow modeler from our IPMS/USA San [...]

A dive-bombing Jenny??

by Robert Knaack on March 16, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

In researching the origins of US Navy/Marine dive bombing, I ran across this little gem of a story: In early 1919, a United States Marine Corps (USMC) JN-4 was credited with executing a "dive bombing" attack during the United [...]

1/48 Classic Airframes Fokker DXXI

by Paul van Acker on March 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Hi all. I have finally completed this one. The build was fun, the painting... not so much. My final coat of matt varnish was a disaster when it fogged all over. I still don't know why. Never has before. All attempts to remove it failed, [...]
