Hobby Boss 1/48 FJ-4B Fury

This is my build of the Hobby Boss North American FJ-4B Fury in 1/48 scale. I started this kit earlier this year prior to knowing about the “Sabre and FJ Fury” group build here in IModeler. Therefore, I initially started a build thread [...]

Miniart 1/48 P-47D-30RE THUNDERBOLT

MiniArt's first fixed-wing aircraft kit, the P-47D, was produced. The reproduction of this kit was excellent, and even the basic version was wonderfully complete. This time, the parts where we were concerned about the strength were [...]

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1a

Today is a very good day because i did and completed what every scale modeller should do at some point: Build a Spitfire. This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a in 48th scale. It is in the markings of 611th squadron in [...]

G.W.H. 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star

GWH's Shooting Star is a very nice kit. It featured finely recessed panel lines and is relatively simple to build. Some shape anomality was attributed to the tail unit. The front nose cover part requires sanding to fit with the rest of the [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A-1H Skyraider

The Skyraider was a late WWII Douglas design to fulfill the United States Navy requirements for a carrier-based, single-seat, long-range, high performance dive/torpedo bomber that would be a follow-on to the Dauntlesses, Helldivers and [...]

Academy 1/48 P-40N Warhawk (ex Mauve)

Improved with the Eduard PE set for this kit, Master metal cannons, and a Cutting Edge resin reflector sight (OOP), and scratchbuilt details on the cockpit. I used an old Super Scale decal sheet following most of its painting guide. This [...]

USAF F-86E Record-Setter: 1/48 Italeri F-86E

This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A-4N IDF

With all its fit issues, Hasegawa's Scooter is a very nice kit that depicts well the aircraft. Hasegawa had a dedicated IDF late Skyhawk version in a limited edition boxing. These kits quickly disappeared from the market leaving the [...]

Asian Canis...1/48 North American F-86D Sabre Dog, Philippine Airforce

After my dad finished the F-35 5th generation fighter, now back to something oldschool. The nice Revell Germany kit of the Sabre Dog, markings from Hi-Decal (thanks to Diego from Hi-Decal for providing them). The sheet comes only with few [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Ki-84 "Hayate"

This kit in my opinion is one of Hasgawa's best. I used an SBS cockpit set and it has better detailing than the kit cockpit but by no means is it necessary. I did this because I already had the SBS one. The kit supplied cockpit parts are [...]
