HE-115, 1/48, done. more done, really done

by Ralph Clements on December 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Well I did some weathering, trying not to over do it and added the exhaust pipes which I had forgotten, and antenna wire, in the process broke the nose gun in two, which I didn't even notice until I looked at these photos...that is typical [...]

Supermarine Spitfire Vb (Trop) in 1/48 scale by Airfix.

by Tony Prince on December 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

My inspiration for this model came from Brian Cauchi's book "Malta Spitfrie Vs - 1942: Their Colours & Markings" which I found of enormous help & in addition a real potential problem as the temptation is undoubtedly to [...]

1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair

by Jim Sullivan on December 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

More and more I find myself building to model a plane that appeals to me as a result of seeing it in a photo. That was the case in my FG-1A build. The actual plane was FG-1A 13374 which was a stock Goodyear Corsair modified to flight test [...]

Heinkel HE-115B, 1/48

by Ralph Clements on November 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

1/48 Harrier GR.3 (from Monogram and Airfix kits)

by Paul Mahoney on November 23, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The recent beautiful 1/24 Harrier builds made me dig back and think I should post my own Harrier build of a few years ago. I built this for a friend's father who flew them with the RAF (among his many other duties). I wrote this up for [...]

Monogram dreams of my youth.

by Ulf Lundberg on November 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

When I was building plastic models in the 70s, Monogram kits were the state of the art. I always dreamed of building on of their big bombers in 1:48, but was never able to do it. They were too expensive for a kid with a meagre weekly [...]

B-1B Lancer

by Morne Meyer on November 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is Revell/Monogram's gigantic 1/48 scale rendition of arguably the most aesthetically pleasing bomber to emerge from the Cold War, the Rockwell B-1 B Lancer. This model is depicted in a typical 1980's wrap around colour scheme of dark [...]
