Year of the Cat Group Build. 1/48 scale Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat

by Terry Schuler on February 16, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Year of the Cat Group Build. Monogram 1/48 F9F Panther from The Bridges at Toko-Ri

by Josh Patterson on February 16, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I've been wanting to do a Panther for a while. I had a stillborn attempt back when I was in high school when the kit first came out. I was impressed at how well it went together and have always wanted to try again. I had a few troubles [...]

by Tom Bebout on February 15, 2018 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

I want to thank Louis Gardner for starting this group build and inviting me to come along with my cat entry. Since I was a little late to the party I picked a kit that I thought would be simple and fast. So presented for your view today is [...]

by paul teixeira on February 15, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I always loved the T-38 but had never built this ride as a 1/48 Kit. When a good customer of mine asked if I could build one for him in standard trainer scheme I jumped at the chance. I researched the two competing kits of this bird [...]

by paul teixeira on February 14, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I always loved the Mirage and related Kfir jets used by several air forces including the Israeli military. I had not built a 1/48 Delta wing in some time so when the new company AMK released this model it was time to build another. I had [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 scale Nakijima Ki-43 II

by Terry Schuler on February 14, 2018 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I found a diagram of this aircraft years ago and always thought it to be an attractive scheme. I stashed it away in my reference box. A box of ideas for someday / maybe. Not too long ago I found myself with a 1/48 scale Hasegawa kit in my [...]

1/48 Scale Monogram Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

by Kipling Mitchell on February 13, 2018 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

The Monogram Wildcat is a Wildcat, but I am not sure which one it is. Is it a Wildcat F4F, or a Wildcat FM 1? The FM 1 was made by GM, and the F4F by Grumman. The tail looks tall, like the FM series, and there are only 4 machine guns in [...]

1/48 Scale Monogram B-17G Flying Fortress

by Kipling Mitchell on February 13, 2018 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The Monogram B-17G was the first big multi-engine aircraft model that I ever built when I was a kid. It was big and it had a lot of guns. The bomb bay could not be displayed open, but that was never a concern back then. Also, it had ground [...]
