Monogram 1/48 Canadair Sabre Mk. 4...

by Robert Bausch on June 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I started this kit many years ago, but just finished it in the last year or so. I don’t think I originally intended to do it as an RAF machine, but I really like the classy RAF camo and squadron markings, so that’s how it turned [...]

The Albatross continues

by Rob Anderson on June 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I think I was successful in splicing the Alley Cat canopy with the Trumpeter nose piece, building up the sides with milliput to get the distinctive curve below the canopy that Trumpeter missed. I also included a picture of the Alley Cat [...]

by Clark Cook on June 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello: I just finished up the Bearcat this morning. It was another one of those challenging builds that we all tackle every now and then. I installed Aires resin bays in both the wings and area behind the engine. I used a Quickboost [...]

Gloster Javelin FAW 9 in 1/48 by Airfix

by Tony Prince on June 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Having built the Airfix Canberra PR 9 & the Sea Vixen with a great deal of pleasure I was lucky enough to win this kit at our monthly IPMS raffle. I think the Javelin is Airfix's best yet. Fit of parts was perfect; no filler anywhere. [...]

by Frank Cronin on June 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This aircraft was flown by the Group Commander of 94TCS / 438TCG, Colonel C. H. Young. The painting on the nose of the aircraft is of a sailing ship named Argonia. Argonia was the hometown of Colonel Young. I have the utmost respect for [...]

D-Day C-47 Skytrain

by Josh Patterson on June 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Well, it's 9:15 p.m. Central and I just finished mowing my Dad's yard. Now that work is over, I can contribute to the D-Day build. I know I said I could get this done in two weeks, and I probably could, but a Gloster Javelin, Yak-38, [...]
