1/48 Eduard Hellcat Mk I

by Dale Cole on August 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I built this kit earlier this year. Eduard's kit is the best Hellcat out there. My kit was actually the F6F-3 Weekend Edition, but I traded for the decals and added an Ultracast seat. Mixed the paint using Tamiya colors. The aircraft [...]

Monogram 1/48 Hawker Typhoon

by Tom Bebout on July 29, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

1/48 Tamiya P-51

by Paul van Acker on July 24, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡
