1/48 Hasegawa Dassault Breguet Falcon-10

by Joe Caputo on September 18, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This may be considered a "what if", or a figment of my imagination. The USCG only flew the HU-25, a bigger brother of the 10, to my knowledge. I thought the scheme attractive, but didn't care to go through the extensive [...]

Hey, Abrahamson, my landing gear works!….

by Bill Koppos on September 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Built this one, with my Dad, more than once in the dark ages, always fighting the working landing gear. Well, this one works (when will it give out? The shadow knows). Built right out of the (old) box, axles melted over to hold the wheels [...]

1/48 Monogram P-39 Airacobra

by Joe Caputo on September 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here's another one we've all built, the trusted, old, Mongram P-39 airacobra. I've been led to understand that this was Monogram's first attempt at a "serious" scale model. It was my second time around with it, and I still [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 Ki. 61-I hei

by Tom Cleaver on September 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

To my mind, the Ki.61 is the best-looking Japanese fighter of World War II. This is the Hasegawa kit, built OOB other than use of Lifelike Decals. The Ki. 61 was one of the few Japanese fighters that could even get to the altitude the [...]

1/48 Monogram F9F-2 Panther

by Joe Caputo on September 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

I thought I'd try to back date the F9F-5 to the 2 version, and so, rounded the tail a little. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it looked ok to me. My collection needed a "Blue Angel", and I thought this would be a good [...]

RAF Mustang III 1/48 Tamiya.

by Simon Whitney on September 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Well this my second posting the Mustang III, done in natural finish. The kit went together as any Tamiya kits do. The wings were a tight fit but hardly any filler used any where,. Had a bit if a nightmare with the colour scheme, I was [...]

1/48 Ki-61 Hein by Hasegawa

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here is an older build of Japan's only in-line engine powered fighter, commonly called Tony. This is in a New Guinea scheme, which began as natural metal, but was quickly over sprayed. I think the Japanese had a strange sense of humor [...]

1/48 scale P-47D Razorback by Hasegawa

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is a basic build in comparatively unusual colors -- Nationalist Chinese in 1945. The USA was supplying arms to many allies in WWII, and we needed fighters to protect our B-29 bases in SW China, as well as our transports flying [...]

by Matt Mears on September 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hey Guys, Finished today, i have my 1/48 Hobby Boss F-111C done in Aussie markings, the kit goes together great and looks amazing when complete, the detail is brilliant, i have used Eduard interior and exterior sets and also some [...]

1/48 Glencoe Spad XIIIC.1

by Joe Caputo on September 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This has to be a re-issue of a re-issue, etc. Copyright on the instructions reads "1995". The best part of the kit is the "invisa-clear" Scale-Master decals. This was another 20+ part kit that I built because it [...]
