Monogram B-36 Peacemaker

by Blaine Miller on February 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Thirty four years in the making of this kit. I started it in 1985. Put it away in 1986 when i started a new position at work. Forgot about it until moving back from Florida in 1998. I decided it was time to finish the kit. Started working [...]

1/48 Academy P-38L “Pathfinder”

by Tom Bebout on February 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I have a tendency to build kits during the winter months as it's tough to get the model mojo working when the weather is nice outside. This Academy kit is the latest off my bench, and one of the P-38 variances you don't see that often. [...]

1/48 Special Hobby CA-12 Boomerang

by dale travis on February 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

RAAF No.4 Squadron, New Guinea, 1943. This kit in my opinion has the best OOB cockpit of any Special Hobby I ever built. I still did a little more detail in the way of wiring and a throttle quadrant I fabricated. I also added more detail [...]

This is Hasegawa’s SH-3H, converted to a -3G from HC-1 Westpac cruise in 1977, aboard my old ship the USS Coral Sea. Reference photo from that cruise. I used Belcher’s Bits resin sponsons, shortened the horizontal tailplane, covered [...]

Me 109G-6, Interlaken, Switzerland, May 1944. J-701 was one of the Me 109's bought from Germany by Swiss AF. These were produced by Mtt in Regensburg, with a lot of issues and defects due to the acts of sabotage performed at the assembly [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Bücker Bü 181.

by David Paul Cope on February 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A nice little kit of the Bestmann trainer. A few fit issues but nothing too taxing. Shame the rear canopy has some stress cracking, but this isn't too noticeable.

1/48 Special Hobby He -115 B-1

by dale travis on February 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

1./KFIGr. 406 Norway 1942 This is definitely NOT the kit to attempt as a first limited run project. It requires a large amount of prep work especially thinning the trailing edges of the flying surfaces and the floats are also areas of [...]

Academy 1/48 F-4C Phantom II

by Boris Rakic on February 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I built this one almost two years ago, but never got around to posting pics. And looking at them now, I think I know why - something is off with the lighting, and I guess it's about time to try it once again. Anyway, the kit is the well [...]
