Building Eduard’s 48th Scale Fw-190D-9 ProfitPACK

by Jack Mugan on June 27, 2016 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I will have to admit up front that I am not a German aircraft expert, but I did manage to talk myself into building one of my favorite aircraft. I was really interested in this Eduard offering and was curious to see how it compared to the [...]

Monogram 1/48 P-39 Airacobra

by Tom Bebout on June 24, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Probably the most brilliantly engineered fighter of WWII, the P-400/P-39 was designed around the Oldsmobile 37mm cannon. Because of the weight and recoil force of this cannon,it necessitated the gun to be mounted in the nose firing thru [...]

RAAF Gloster Meteor F.8, 1/48 by Airfix

by Tony Prince on June 23, 2016 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

According to my references, A77-157 was delivered to the RAAF in Korea in February, 1952 & survived the conflict to meet its fate as a target drone in Woomera, South Australia in September 1969. Late production Meteors were equipped [...]

Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I

by Michael Booth on June 20, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Have to say, I've really enjoyed building my first aircraft for my Battle of Britain Collection both for RAF and Luftwaffe aircraft. Detail is superb and offers a good model for a different RAF aircraft. I first built a defiant when I was [...]

Eduard 1/48 Bf-109G-6 (Late) kit

by Tom Cleaver on June 18, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

By 1943, it was clear to the Luftwaffe that the lightly armed Bf 109G 2 and G 4 fighter (1 20mm cannon, 2 7.62mm machine guns) was underarmed. In the West, the Jagdgeschwaders were equipped with two Fw 190 Gruppen for anti bomber [...]

Building Monogram’s 48th Scale Vought OS2U Kingfisher

by Jack Mugan on June 17, 2016 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

The Kingfisher took to the air in 1938 and quickly became the Navy’s eyes of the fleet on any ship that had a catapult. I was fortunate enough to hear a talk given by one of the few who flew this aircraft and still remember some of his [...]

1/48 SB2C-4 Helldiver

by John Healy on June 16, 2016 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Another one I never posted from a few years back. This is the Revellogram Promodeler kit from the late 90s. The decals were terrible and yellowed, so I cobbled together spares to model a USS Bunker Hill Helldiver. I painted it with [...]

1/48 Brewster F2A-2

by John Healy on June 16, 2016 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Who doesn't like the Tamiya Buffalo? This is one I built a few years ago but somehow neglected to post. I built it straight from the box and finished it with Yellow Wings decals. The only other remarkable fact about it is that it is [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 scale Nakajima C6N1 Myrt

by Terry Schuler on June 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

As I built this project I couldn't help but recall an incident that my father told me about while he was stationed at the seaplane base on Saipan, at Tanapag harbor during World War 2. A fleet of U.S. war ships had entered the harbor and [...]
