What’s with that “quick build” thing?

by Boris Rakic on May 30, 2017 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Too long; didn’t read summary: I no longer think I can find satisfaction in quick builds. They can be either quick or satisfying. Never both. Your mileage may vary. Quick build (noun • /kwik bild/) A box of sprues you grab, glue and [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 “Wildcat”: My First Build of this kit…

by Frederick J Seitz III on May 29, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Before Tamiya released their 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat", there was only the old Monogram kit. The Monogram kit was little more than a toy, having folding wings and other "Features" that just made the kit a very [...]

Navy Ace Guy Bordelon, VC-3 Korea, Minicraft F4U-5N Corsair

by Louis Gardner on May 29, 2017 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now...each year passes and I would miss it, so here goes. Since today is Memorial Day here in the US, and in honor of our fallen veterans, I felt that this would be [...]

“Midway Group Build” F4F VMF-221

by Frank Cronin on May 28, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I have not posted for some time and I just wanted to get back into the groove with this add to the “Midway Group Build”. Midway was such an important battle in WWII that I just had to add this as my homage to all those that lost their [...]

Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-7

by George Henderson on May 25, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built this as a tribute to a fellow modeller who passed away last December, one day short of his 26th birthday. He wanted to build this aircraft as it had an interesting history: serving with the French Aeronavale, one of the aircraft in [...]

by Louis Gardner on May 24, 2017 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Here's one of the Luftwaffe planes I removed from the display case a few days ago,then took a series of pictures. I removed 4 Luftwaffe subjects to take pictures of in all. (I'll post the others here in a few more days). This one is [...]

Hasegawa 1:48 Scale, Nakajima B5N2, Type 97, Model 3, Carrier Attack Plane.

by Frederick J Seitz III on May 24, 2017 · in Uncategorized · 16 ≡

Another kit that was really a great time building. Typical Hasegawa quality product, and one of their fairly new Japanese subject line. I think these are a labor of love and a source of nation pride! Even the horrible decals of the past [...]

Hobby Boss, 1:48 Scale, IAR-80, Romanian Air Force

by Frederick J Seitz III on May 24, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Hey Folks! Over the last couple weeks, I have been pretty busy building...actually got a few finished in time for the IPMS/USA Region One Show and Contest. I found that, overall, this was a decent little model kit. It went together [...]

The iModeler Spitfire !!

by IAN JACKSON on May 24, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Yep this is the very Airfix 1:48 Spitfire Vb that I won here at iM around two years ago, and only just got around to putting-together... ...now I cannot say I enjoyed the build, and I know that sounds ungrateful but before you head down [...]

Eduard 1/48 Bf 108

by Stan Traas on May 23, 2017 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Finished this (Whoops- forgot to do the exhaust stains! 🙁 ) just before the Emil, but missed taking pics. I really wondered about the "Taifun" logo being present on top of the camouflage, but found a photo (hopefully not [...]
