Junkers Ju 87, black and white

by Andreas on May 15, 2024 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

I always wanted to create a black and white diorama, as I've not seen them so much. Then I was looking into old pictures from WW2 and found this repair scene. Thats the oppurtinity to try different techniques with different shades of [...]

1/48 Hasegawa SH-3H Sea King

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is a revamped model that I received from a friend and includes FlightPath photoetch parts for the interior. Yet, over time the rotor blades drooped and I left the fragile rotor untouched.

Hasegawa 1:48 Bf 109 K-4

by Pip Moss on May 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

I'm not a huge 109 aficionado, but I wanted to do something with RLM 81 Brown-Violet, and I wanted something on which to try out my recently acquired Paasche Raptor airbrush. I settled on the venerable Hasegawa kit, one of two or three in [...]

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 PBJ-1D Mitchell: VMB-433, Solomon Islands, 1944

by Marshall Blythe on May 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This was sitting in my stash for many years before I decided to get started on it last year. I was driven to action after my son in the USMC sent me some photos of the PBJ in the SoCal CAF collection. Mitchells look good in blue! I used [...]

Ki-21-Ib Sally ICM

by Chas Bunch on May 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 47 ≡

Here's my just completed Sally. For a history of this aircraft, see Louis Gardner's excellent post of his build. I must say that this is one of the nicest kits I've dealt with lately, like the Beaufort from ICM that I built a few months [...]

Devastator Floatplane

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

GWH's 1/48 TBD is a complex kit. The fit of parts is very good, and the detailing of panels and cockpit components is satisfactory. On the downside, the kit lacks a dolly. Moreover, there are many small, photoetched parts to add. The [...]

by David Kopielski on May 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

In July of 2024 the International Plastic Modelers Society (IPMS) held their National Convention in Madison, Wisconsin. This was only a couple of hour drive from my home. I used Academy’s 1/48 CH-46A/D – U.S. Marines –Vietnam kit. [...]

by Dan Lee on May 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

INTRODUCTION The F/A-18E Hornet aka the Super Bug is the main 4.5 Generation Fighter of the US Navy. It's a much better plane than its predecessor (the earlier legacy Hornets) in terms of performance and range as well as carrying a more [...]

Review: 1/48 Academy F-86F "Paper Tiger"

by Tom Cleaver on May 10, 2024 · in Reviews · 11 ≡

The F-86F was developed as a result of the combat experience over Korea against the MiG-15, which had shown that the F-86A and F-86E were outperformed by the Soviet fighter at high altitude. Appearing in Korea in the summer of 1952, the [...]

Night attacker Stuka

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡
