Grumman EA 6B Prowler

by Lucas Hernandez Morey on December 19, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This aircraft belonged to the VAQ 133 WIZZARDS 2007 . It's a Kinetic model. Cockpit of Aires in resin. It has been a difficult model to mount due to the large number of failures, bad connections, and a terrible instruction sheet. Attaching [...]

E.E. Lightning F.3

by Marvin Reyes on December 19, 2018 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Here's the Airfix Lightning F.3 (1/48th) done with aftermarket decals (Aeromaster, IIRC). This old Airfix kit has its faults, but can be built into a nice model. I like the purposeful look of the Lightning, especially done-up in brilliant [...]

Sonderkommando Elbe ME-109 G

by Oliver D. lomeli on December 19, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hi again, this is my build of Otaki's 1/48 scale ME-109 G. I made it to replicate an aircraft of the Sonderkommando Elbe squadron that has already accomplished its mission. This squadron was made up of ME-109s and FW-109s. They were used [...]

100 Years of the RAF, No. 601 Squadron, Egypt November 1942, 1/48 scale Tamiya 61035 Spitfire Mk Vb

by Louis Gardner on December 18, 2018 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here's another one hot off the press at the "Iron Werks". I finished it up last night. It was inspired by one of Tom Bebout's @tom-bebout wonderful Spitfire builds. This kit is an older Tamiya release from way back in [...]

RAF 100 Group Build: Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1. Sailor Malan, No. 74 Sqn. Airfix 1/48. Where was the RAF at Dunkirk? (Part Three).

by Paul Barber on December 18, 2018 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

When the German army moved into Belgium and Holland in early May 1940, avoiding the static French defences along the Maginot line, all leave for No. 74 Sqn was cancelled. Sailor Malan, a competent airman albeit one with no combat [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2

by John Clark on December 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I had all kinds of trouble with the fit of this kit...probably self-inflicted. This is not my best build. There are all kinds of mistakes on it. I used the Pavla cockpit and nose gear well. The cockpit opening is too small and that [...]

Airfix 1/48 Gloster Meteor F.8

by Boris Rakic on December 16, 2018 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Here's my contribution to the "100 Years of the Royal Air Force" Group build. The Airfix kit left me with somewhat mixed feelings - on one hand it is nicely detailed and goes together well for the most part, on the other hand it [...]

RAF 100 Group Build: Hawker Hurricane Mk 1. Willie McKnight, No. 242 Sqn. Airfix 1/48. Where was the RAF at Dunkirk? (Part Two).

by Paul Barber on December 16, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Blitzkrieg was a term the Wermacht never officially adopted, probably because Hitler thought it ‘idiotic’ in its simplicity. The view of the Nazi regime was that they were simply reaping the dividends of Germany’s superior industrial [...]

100 Years of the RAF, No. 264 Squadron, circa July 1940, Martlesham Heath, Suffolk, England 1/48 Airfix BP Defiant

by Louis Gardner on December 16, 2018 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Here's another completed project from the 100 Years of the RAF group build. This one also happens to be the monthly random kit award that I received from Martin and his staff a while ago. As promised, I wrote a kit review on the model, [...]

Airfix 1/48 Scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4/B

by Paul Nash on December 15, 2018 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

My first Airfix build for many years was a far cry from experiences with this manufacturer’s kits from years gone by. I’ve had this kit for several years now, one of two bought together in a rash of enthusiasm to produce models of all [...]
