1/48 Avia S.92

by Marek Halas on May 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

An Me.262 with a twist! This is an Avia S.92 Turbina converted from the very old Monogram 1/48 Me.262. The decals are from Tally Ho, and represent one of five Avia built Me.262's that served with the Czechoslovak airforce up until 1951. [...]

Eduard and Roden 1/48 Fokker D.VII

by Tom Cleaver on May 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Both done about 7-8 years ago when the kits first came out. The Eduard kit is an OAW-built D.VII in the famous markings of an otherwise-unknown airplane, with the markings of The Seven Swabians, an ancient German folk tale about a bunch of [...]

How I started counting rivets….

by Jack Mugan on May 25, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I really like natural metal schemes and became a big fan of Allclad paint because of their color range and drying time. Then one day I ran across Mike Grant's website and saw he was offering rivets as a decal sheet. I hadn't had much luck [...]

Tamiya 1/48th Do-335 Defense of the Reich

by Walt on May 25, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

As a follow up to my Do-335 I built another one of these model kits. This time I thought I would do it up as a defender of the Reich in the last days of the war. I added drop tanks and also scratch built the boarding ladder. I [...]

1/48 Spitfire PR.19

by John Healy on May 24, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This is the new Airfix kit that I built last month. In my opinion, it's their best Spitfire yet. It surpasses the Mk.22/24 and Seafire 46/47s from the 1990s due to better detailing and nicer moldings. Others on this site have gone into [...]

Hobby Boss 1/48th Scale North American FJ-4 Fury

by Erich Goldbach on May 23, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

While I’m usually a “propeller” guy, I enjoy building early jet subjects from time to time for a change of pace. The FJ-4 was North American’s "Navalized" version of their famous F-86 Sabre. The kit was built for a good [...]

Grumman OV-1A Mohawk

by Jack Mugan on May 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

It was the Eduard cockpit set that inspired me to build this model…. That and the fact that I had access to the real aircraft. The American Wings Museum is located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota and was created by Mike Langer, who was a [...]

P-39 Q crash, June 16,1943

by Frank Cronin on May 21, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

On the above date I was almost 5 years old. At a little after 4 pm the word went out that an airplane had crashed into a house. Ignoring our parents, all of us kids ran to where the plane had crashed. When I got there the pilot was gone [...]
