The 1/48 TA 152 C-0/R11 “V7″ from Dragon
This is my vision of the famous TA 152 C-0/R11 (V7).

Stringbag Mk 1 Floatplane
Continuing the recent occasional Fleet Air Arm theme, here are a few photos of Tamiya's 1/48 Swordfish, c1940, with a record photo of the actual aircraft.

Continuing the FAA theme: Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.B.2
One of the oddest-looking jets of all, the Supermarine Attacker F.B.2. There's only one other "conventional gear" Jet, the Yak-15. The airplane has been done in 1/48 by a very good Falcon vacuform in around 1989, a Classic [...]

Hasegawa Hellcat – the 1/48 F6F-3 by Tony Prince
Being a lover of carrier borne aircraft & the USN WWII in particular, I built this kit a few years ago (pre Eduard), but noted the adverse comments regarding the 'smile' on the cowling ring. Being very happy with other aspects of the [...]
Monogram 1/48th F-101B 444th FIS
Here's a recent build of a classic old Monogram kit, the 1/48th F-101B Voodoo. I finished it in the markings of the 444th FIS Det 1 which was stationed in my hometown of Wilmington, NC between 1966 and 1968. Pretty much an out of the box [...]
