by Rapid27 on December 20, 2013 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Hello everyone, To continue my little series 2004-2005, I present the F-8E (FN) Crusader 1/48 Hasegawa. This model represents this great American fighter early in his career with the French Navy and specifically in testing missile Matra [...]

Eduard's Spitfire Mk.IXc (late) in 1/48 scale, by Tony Prince

by Tony Prince on December 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

The best Spitfire kit in this scale in my opinion. I've built most of them too, from the ancient Monogram Mk IX to Otaki, Tamiya Mk Vs, Airfix Mk IX, ICM & Hasegawa. They have all had their problems; some I could live with & others [...]

iModeler Review: Hobby Boss 1/48 F-84F Thunderstreak

by Editor on December 19, 2013 · in Reviews · 14 ≡

The Thunderstreak was a swept-wing development of the F-84 created with the hope of bringing the type's performance to the level of its main competitor, the F-86 Sabre. In the event it emerged as an almost entirely new airframe having only [...]

by Rapid27 on December 18, 2013 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hello everyone, For the rest of the series 2004-2005 constructions, I present you a F-84G who served in the French Air Force (2/33 savoie). This version is modified for reconnaissance missions. Thank you all, Sincerely, Eric.

Trumpeter 1/48 Vampire FB Mk. 5

by Rick Wilkes on December 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

As a memento of the IPMS/UK 50th Anniversary Tour, and being unable to model a massive bout of constipation, and unwilling to spend £40 for one of the Alleycat kits, I purchased the new Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk. 5, when I got home. Little [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Supermarine Seafire LF Mk. III

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

One that almost became the second occupant of the shelf of doom. Why, you ask? I was about half way through when Tom Cleaver published his authoritative "Frankenspit", and I knew all was lost. Eventually built OOB, it came [...]

The French Air force Mirage 2000 C 1/48 from Heller

by Rapid27 on December 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello everyone, I present to you a new series of models that I made in 2004-2005. To begin with, I propose a Mirage 2000 C 1/48 Heller. It is accompanied by a characteristic small tractor equipment met in the parking airbases. I have [...]

Otaki 1/48 (Ki-61) “Hieney Racer”

by Joe Caputo on December 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I always thought the Ki-61 was one of Japan's sleekest looking WWII fighters. German desigined and Daimler-Benz powered, it was built by Kawasaki, and named the "Hien". The cost of an Otaki kit was reasonable enough that I [...]

DeHaviland Sea Vixen FAW2

by Rob Pollock on December 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Another 1/48 Airfix 'Fighter All Weather' representative, on the back of Tom's recent Jav post. No photos of the cockpit areas. Although detailed, they are truely 'coal holes' and not supportive of pretty pictures.

iModeler Review: 1/48 Airfix Gloster Javelin FAW 9

by Tom Cleaver on December 13, 2013 · in Reviews · 28 ≡

Gloster Aircraft, having developed and produced the only Allied jet aircraft to be operational during the war, the Gloster Meteor, sought to take advantage of its expertise, and responded to a 1947 Air Ministry requirement for a [...]
