Lindberg (Inpact) 1/48 Bristol Bulldog

by Tom Cleaver on July 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This model was done in around 2003, having been purchased a couple years earlier. Finding the SMER kit with the better decals at an "aftermarket decal sheet price" prompted me to pull the kit out of the closet and proceed. The [...]

D-Day Group Build – 1/48 Wildcat V

by Rick Wilkes on July 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Here we are a month after D-Day and I've called this one done. I must admit I'm unsure if this aircraft was used at Normandy or only at the invasion of Southern France (Operation Dragoon 15 August '44), but be that as it may...Tah [...]

by John Healy on July 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is the Tamiya F4U-1A kit suitably modified to FAA Corsair II standards. I clipped the wingtips, added the 3 fuselage air scoops found on RN Corsairs, and added a British whip antenna set up. JT 422 was a Goodyear built Corsair and [...]

by Tom Cleaver on July 6, 2014 · in Show Reports · 5 ≡

That fershlugginah F-101C has found a good home, where it will be honored and respected, and seen only from a distance of 3 feet through glass. Christina Olds gave a presentation today out at Planes of Fame about her father, the great [...]

Eduard 1/48 Dassault Mirage IIICJ “Profipack”

by Tom Cleaver on July 4, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This model was done 10 years ago when the kit first came out. It's still the best 1/48 Mirage kit and well worth having, particularly in the Profipack release. Like the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain, the P-51 and the daylight battles [...]

Bristol Fighter Roden 1/48th Scale

by James Robert Feuilherade on July 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Built this a while back, but as others have posted oldies but goodies, decided to show I do actually manage to get somthing across my work bench occasionally! Good kits the Roden's, if maybe not for beginners. Soft plastic can make [...]

by Tom Cleaver on July 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The P-40E-1/Kittyhawk IA flown by CAPT Andrew Reynolds of the 49th FG is actually a Kittyhawk IA - the Lend-Lease version of the P-40E-1. When the 49th FG arrived in Australia in March 1942, there was not much attention paid to whether [...]

by Robert Bausch on July 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

I am a big fan of Sir Sydney Camm’s Hawker fighter designs, from Kingston on Thames, especially the Typhoon, Tempest and Hunter. The Hunter has always been one of my most favorite aircraft, for many, many years. Aircraft shapes don’t [...]
