Filling the gaps – Special Hobby’s 1/48 T-2C Buckeye

by Boris Rakic on August 12, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I have a confession to make: I think I have a couple of screws loose. That is the only explanation I have for my overarching modeling theme - building a complete collection of US military hardware from the 1920s to present. Well, at least [...]

A 38A Skyraider

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on August 11, 2017 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

This is my rendition of a Skyraider in the use of the Royal Swedish Air Force if the Sandy CSAR concept had been brought to the temperate and sub-arctic forests and mountains of the Scandinavian peninsula from the steaming jungles of [...]

HobbyBoss FJ-4B Fury

by Marvin Reyes on August 10, 2017 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I built this kit awhile ago, but haven't displayed it much, so here goes. This is the old HobbyBoss kit in 1/48th scale. It is done OOB, using parts and decals that come with the kit. I think this kit is fairly basic, but it makes up into [...]

Early on the morning of the 27th of September 1940, Austrian Gruppenkommandeur, Horst Liensberger, of V Gruppe / (Zerstoerer) Lehrgeschwader 1 led a formation of 10 Bf 110s from his unit on an escort mission for some KG 77 Ju 88s which [...]

Monogram 1/48 F-8E, MiG-killing Crusader

by Drew Tarter on August 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

My latest effort is the old, but solid, Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader. This classic from Monogram features average fit, with (mostly) accurate outlines and shapes. It has raised panel lines, which also appear accurate compared to drawings [...]

1/48 Monogram OA-4M

by Dan DeSilva on August 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Here is my Monogram 1/48 OA-4M. The kit has been around for years- I thought it odd that they released an OA-4M before a TA-4F or J, but maybe the weapons for a FAC role was what they thought would sell the kit? One curiosity of the [...]

Monogram 1/48 P-39 as a Portuguese P-39D 1943

by Dan DeSilva on August 5, 2017 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

I have always had an interest in Portuguese aircraft, as my parents are both from the Acores. This diorama was built as a curiosity for my dad, as he had always seen me building kits from my early teens up until I left the house when I got [...]

First of 3 Local BoB Bf 110 casualties

by Paul Nash on August 5, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Around my home town of Eastbourne during August and September 1940, no less than 3 Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighters were brought down over land and probably many others were lost off the coast, unable to regain comparative safety in [...]

The new Aifix P-51 Mustang in 1:48 scale (extra photos added)

by Alan Price on August 4, 2017 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

With the new issue of Airfix Model World Magazine now out, I can post some photos of the all new Airfix 1:48 scale Mustang. This is a superb kit, the detail is excellent, some very clever engineering involved too to get nice a seamless [...]
