1/48th Hasegawa F6F-3 Hellcat
When I saw the actual photo of this plane, I just knew I had to build it. Other than the quite unusual white paint trim, it's pretty much a standard WWII tri-color Hellcat. I know it was from a Navy squadron but I have yet to identify [...]
Color quandry
Hi folks, I have attached a heavily cropped (trying to respect copywrite while still asking a question about it) picture of an HU-16C that is/was stored at Davis Monthan. It appears is several color profiles the most famous being in [...]
Russia sings the “Blues”…. (Monogram 1/48 Mig 29)
In 1992, the Blue Angels took the show to Moscow, a country they'd spent their careers learning to fight. ( ? Blue Angels trip in Moscow, Russia, 1992 - YouTube ) This was quite an experience for all involved, and was the epitome of the [...]
Kittyhawk Mk.IV 450 Sqn. RAAF, Vatso, Italy, 1944.
Being very partial to RAAF desert camouflage, I couldn't resist this Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit. Goes together beautifully. The 'No Orchids" cowling panel was apparently moved to successive aircraft , hence the green background to this [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-51B "Captain Don S. Gentile" and A-36 dirtied up
F.D.R. called him "Captains Courageous"...maybe that's why his plane was called "Shangri-La"
Monogram 1/48 Focke Wulf 190A-2…
This is a model I built quite some time ago, but I thought I would throw it into the iModeler brewing pot in case it might interest a couple of folks. But, it is not a P-40! It’s from the old Monogram FW 190A-7 (?) kit that could be [...]
Otaki 1/48th P-40
You P-40 builders have no one to blame but yourselves for this dog being shown. I was feeling left out. It was pulled out of my graveyard.
It was built when the kit was first released so you tell me how long ago that was.
Brush painted [...]
1/48 Hobbycraft Curtiss P-40B Warhawk, PTO, USAAC
This is my contribution for this little mini unofficial P-40 group build. This is my first P-40 that I picked up at a show in Ct. back in the mid 90's. One of a few early P-40 kits to come along. I built this around 98-99 or so before I [...]
One more time…. the Mauve 48th scale P-40N
The third time is a charm. I could not pass up the opportunity to do a P-40 in a natural metal finish either.
Deja Vu all over again....49th FG P-40N
Saw Ralph's model, and said hey that looks familiar. This is the Hasegawa 1/48 version, decals came from an aftermarket sheet, sorry I don't recall the maker. They do look sweet in NMF too bad the P-40Q didn't catch on...
