by Walt on April 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Classic Airframes 1/48 Meteor T.7

by Tom Cleaver on April 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

After three years of operating the Meteor, it was becoming obvious that there was a need for a trainer, so that new jet pilots could have the opportunity of learning more about their mounts before being turned loose on their own. This had [...]

by Paul van Acker on April 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

New aftermarket decals, to avoid the yellow-ish kit decals. Nice kit to build. Hope you like, thanks for looking, Paul.

First Post : Building a DH Vampire

by Richard Hanson on April 27, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I'm new to this blogging thing, but my wife blogs extensively about her quilting/patchwork and really enjoys the process and feedback she gets, so here goes. I've restarted modeling after a 25 year (i guess) break and I am amazed at the [...]

Fujimi 1/48 Focke- Wulf Fw190 D-9

by Joe Caputo on April 26, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

When Fujimi came out with this beauty, it was "state of the art". Decades have passed since then, but it still sits on my shelf collecting dust. Back when I built it, my reference material was limited. I had a picture post [...]

Italeri 1/48 C-130 E/H

by Josh Patterson on April 26, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I can only take credit for the last 75% of this build. Way back in 93 I helped one of my Mom's friends move out of his roofing buisness. He was an avid gardener, which is how my Mom knew him, but he was also a modeler. I always liked going [...]

Kinetic E-2C Hawkeye

by Martin Dytrych on April 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is my very last build. Just finished before competition in Mosonmagyarovar. I found many issues when building it, some of them too late, unfortunately. The biggest one was balancing the model - I put around 80-90 gr until the model [...]
