1/48 Monogram T-28A Trojan

by Joe Caputo on September 5, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

I don't know which version Monogram did first, the A or B, but I completed the B, before I came upon this one. The only difference I can see is the cowl and the two bladed prop. Boxing in the wheel wells took as much time as building [...]

1/48 Academy F-16

by Joe Caputo on September 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This Academy kit has been around 15-20 years. It's still available, and is one of the less expensive F-16 kits. I had a set of Florida ANG for an F-16, which was why I got the kit. I ended up with a simple kit, simple decals, and a [...]

1/48 Monogram P-40

by Joe Caputo on September 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Back to basics. Straight out-of-box. I think this one has been around as long as the "Flying Tigers" themselves ! When I finally got around to building it, I discovered it wasn't a bad kit at all, for it's day. They're [...]

Monogram Superkits

by Frank Cronin on September 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

In the mid to late Fifties, Monogram came out with a series of balsa wood and plastic airplanes called "Superkits". There were six total, P-51, F-84, P-40, Mig15, F-86, and the F4U. They were all in 1/72 scale. It was sort of the [...]

1/48 Aichi D3A Val by Hasegawa(?)

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The Val was Japan's naval dive bomber, comparable to the American Dauntless or Germany's Stuka. Vals were significant contributors to the expansion of the Greater Co-prosperity Sphere in 1941-42. As the front line bomber on Japanese [...]

1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt by Hasegawa

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is a P-47D which I inherited from a modeler's estate upon his death. He had done some fine work, including the invasion stripes. They had obviously been on the plane for a considerable amount of time because they discolored to an [...]

1/48th IL2-m3 Sturmovik by Accurate Miniatures

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

The Sturmovik was known as "flying tanks" to the Russian ground forces of WWII. Presumably built in greater numbers than any other aircraft, these planes made an idellible mark on their enemies. Heavily armed with cannon , [...]

1/48 Lloyd CL II by Special Hobby

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

World War I began as the last Napoleonic War revolving around infantry, artillery and cavalry, but quickly devolved into mass carnage at the hands of machine guns, barbed wire, poison gas and massed high explosives. Sweeping maneuver was [...]

1/48 ESCI F-86 Sabre

by Joe Caputo on August 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The price was right, and I had some old decals laying around, so this old bird got thrown together. Even though it's not even up to Monogram's standards, it still looks ok for it's age. The interior leaves a lot to be desired, as do most [...]

1/48 scale Ju-87 Stuka by Hasegawa

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The Ju-87 will forever be linked with the Blitzkrieg campaigns of WWII. It supported the armored spearheads of the Wehrmacht with deadly accuracy -- becoming known as Flying Artillery. The whistles on the landing gear pants lent a [...]
