Speaking of the Academy Phantom

by Rob Anderson on November 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Here is the cockpit, not the greatest pictures, but you can see how I modified the left hand RIO pit to more closely resemble the real thing, the front pit is pretty close. One thing that I noted and corrected in the back, but not as much [...]

1/48 Monogram B-25J Mitchell Bomber

by Joe Caputo on November 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The Monogram B-25 series was "state of the art", before the Accurate Miniatures versions, and still builds up into a decent replica, for half the cost. Mine was straight OOB, using the kit decals. It comes with a fairly [...]

1/48 F8F Bearcat “Beetlebomb”

by Michael Wayne Knowles on October 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

The early days of the Blue Angels was filled with Hellcats. I don't know too much about this era, but I can imagine there were a host of Navy pilots looking for something to do at the close of World War II! The next mount was the F8F [...]

This is the follow up to part I. These are new images that I had to take as I have not been able to find the original set taken on an SD card I had stored while moving to our new home. Should've left it in the camera. So with the new [...]

by Frank Cronin on October 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

All of the models pictured here are 1/48 scale. It give some idea of the size of these drones. It is interesting to see the size of each drone compared to the AD which is a large aircraft. The Predator is from Bronco Models and the Global [...]

MQ-9 Reaper

by Steven Davis on October 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This was a different kind of build. The kit is from Revell of Germany, but it's a rebox of a previous kit from another manufacturer and it's not a Tamiya style kit. The plastic is very grainy not smooth at all, like a limited production [...]
