A few of the F6F Hellcat models I've built over the years. All are 1:48 scale and they list as follows: 1st two pictures are Otaki's F6F-3/5 kit, built as a -3, flown by Lt. Alex Vraciu of VF-6, off USS Intrepid, (CV-11) Feb 1944. 2nd [...]

by Brian Scott on December 5, 2016 · in Armor · 11 ≡

Another one of those fun little 1/48 Tamiya Armour builds. Only issue i had was the decals sucks. To thick and keep cracking. I was able to fix it with touch up paint and weathering. Back to my Tomcat now 🙂 Cheers Brian

I love a theme....My Hellcat entry

by Bill Koppos on December 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Eduard's 1/48, done right after it's initial release. Prop and tires were replaced with Hasegawa items, and a true Details cockpit set used. The small decals are also Hasegawa. The finish represents a Lexington fighter flown by an ace from [...]

Monogram 1/48 Grumman F6-F Hellcat

by Gary Brantley on December 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Well, this is a first on two counts. It's the very first pics taken of this ancient model, and it's the first set of pics I've posted that weren't taken at an airport! Bob Mack said he'd like to see the pics of my Monogram Hellcat, so I [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

by Tom Bebout on December 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

My first Hellcat since I started building models again..Lots of little flaws on her and they were all self inflicted. Fit overall was very good and the only issue I have are the kit decals, the white portion appears mostly cream in tone [...]

Tarkus II, M60A1 1/48 kit bash. Kitech & Monogram

by Robert Royes on December 2, 2016 · in Armor · 10 ≡

Not knowing what was in the Kitech kit ,it was supposed to have reactive armor per the USMC [ it did not] it also was a motorized kit, which made the running gear less accurate than the snaptite kits. I decided to try to make it represent [...]

Review: Airfix 1/48 P-40B/C Tomahawk II

by Tom Cleaver on December 1, 2016 · in Reviews · 23 ≡

It was hot on Don Muang Airport outside Bangkok on December 10, 1941, as the humidity increased with the rising tropic sun. The crews of the 60th, 62nd and 98th Sentais sweated to ready the 48 Mitsubishi Ki.21 Type 97 bombers (later to be [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D-30, Mexican Expeditionary Air Force (FAEM)

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 1, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This was a typical Hasegawa build-fell together with little or no putty. My attempt at a NMF was complicated, time consuming and most likely unnecessary. My intent was to use as much of the Aztec decal sheet, but would have been better off [...]
