Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.II

by Michael Booth on March 23, 2017 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

For a challenge, this would be my first First World War subject. As the profi-pack kit, the content comes with masks and detailed photoetch and four marking options. Woodgrain was achieved using Light Orch Oil paint, this was a challenge [...]

Another Bill Bosworth Masterpiece – 1/48 Sikorsky S-40 (scratchbuilt)

by Tom Cleaver on March 22, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Whoops - it's 1/48! Still has a 32-inch wingspan For those who don't know what the S.40 was: Sikorsky designed the S-40 in response to a request from Juan Trippe, president of Pan American Airways, for a larger passenger carrying [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 "Captured" Kawanishi N1K2-J

by George Henderson on March 21, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This was is a great build for an old kit. No filler used at all, even the pesky fuselage/wing join. I used Rising Decals "Dying Sun Pt.III and they worked great. For chipping I first laid down some Tamiya Flat Aluminum and the painted [...]

Lindberg 1/48 Gloster "Gladiator" Mk.II

by Joe Caputo on March 21, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is the old Life-Like, Ideal, Lindberg Gloster Gladiator. In it's time (long ago) it was a decent kit. I modified it a little, to make a "stunt" plane out of it. The prop was from the Mk.I kit, and the [...]

A Wyvewhat?! That's not a real Plane!

by Scott Nelson on March 20, 2017 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

I had never heard of a Wyvern until I saw an add for the Trumpeter kit. It's what I call "ugly cool" looking, like the F-4 Phantom. As soon as I saw it, I wanted one. The 1/48 scale kit was a little expensive for my taste, so [...]

1/48 Eduard Fw-190D

1/48 FW-190F-8

by John Healy on March 19, 2017 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

This is the mid '90s Tamiya kit that I'm ashamed to admit has lurked in the bowels of the stash since at least 1996. I've shied away from WW2 German stuff because I've never been very happy with my mottled camo results until recently. I [...]

Another Tamiya 1/48 armor

by Paul Mahoney on March 19, 2017 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

Much earlier, I posted my first armor build - a Tamiya 1/48 Flakpanzer. I am an aircraft guy, but after building that kit, I became interested in doing a few more from the series. Here is my 2nd armor build - a Tamiya 1/48 Sherman [...]

by Erich Goldbach on March 18, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Subject: D.520 of the Regia Aeronautica, 24th Autonomous Fighter Group, Sicily and Southern Italy Assembly: This model was built OOB with the additions of Eduard PE seat belts. Painting/Decals/Weathering: I used Polly Scale acrylics and [...]

Yoo-hoo?! No, Uhu.

by Scott Nelson on March 16, 2017 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

My newest archiving addition is the 1/48 Tamiya He-219 Uhu. I got this kit pretty cheap from a vendor at a local contest. A couple pieces were broken but, nothing too difficult to fix. I am a modeler after all ?. The kit, as most Tamiya [...]
