1:48 scale, Eduard F6F-3, “Hellcat”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Decent kit of Grumman's fighter, and a pleasure to build. I thought it had excellent exterior detail. The prop was a little disappointing, as was the cockpit. I thought they could been better, but at least Eduard captured the look of [...]

1/48 Trumpeter Mig-23

by George Johnson on March 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

So I have to say that I think I finished the 1/48 Trumpeter Mig-23. I'm pretty happy with it. I touched up a few things, added a little Mig European soil weathering pigment and attached the missiles. This was a fun kit to build (although a [...]

1/48 Scale Monogram P-51D Mustang

by Kipling Mitchell on March 1, 2016 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Well, after over 40 years of building aircraft models, I finally got around to doing one with a natural metal finish. I have always had reservations about doing NM, as I am a brush painter, and I have always heard that you will have to use [...]

1:48 scale Hobby Boss FM-2, "Wildcat"

by Frederick J Seitz III on February 29, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The Hobby Boss "Wildcats" in 1:48 scale are all pretty good models. They line up. They look right, and have a pretty fair amount of detail, even if some of it is a little overdone. Still, I found them to be fun builds. At [...]

1:48 scale, Eduard Yak-1b (Accurate Miniatures Re-pop)

by Frederick J Seitz III on February 29, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I started building this model on a business trip I took last year up in Syracuse NY. It was small and fit in the luggage well. I had built one of these kits when it was originally released by Accurate Miniatures a few years back, so I [...]

Work In Progress-Nichimo 1:48 scale, Ki-45, “Toryu”

by Frederick J Seitz III on February 28, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here's another kit that's moving along towards completion. Again, a few update photos. Kit itself is going together well. All the fun has been getting all these interior detail sets to fit. Ugh. However they look okay after the [...]

Airfix 1:48 Scale Hawker Hurricane Mk.I

by Frederick J Seitz III on February 28, 2016 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Hey Folks Here are a few WIP pictures, updating what's been done on this kit. She's a real beauty! I have some touching up to do before I apply the first gloss coat. Then it's decals, second gloss coat, and then the flat coat and [...]

Vietnam Scooters Eduard 1/48 A-4E

by George Williams on February 28, 2016 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I recently re-watched one of my favourite movies - Good Morning, Vietnam - and thought I'd like to try build something from this conflict. Being impressed and inspired by the A4's recently posted on this site, and after talking to my good [...]

Italeri 1/48 Fiat CR.42 'Falco'

by Michael Booth on February 27, 2016 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Well, another kit completed, this time, the long term project of the Fiat people voted for. Firstly, I wanted to apologise to everyone who voted for this and wanted this to be completed back a year ago! I just never had the mojo to [...]
