For those who don’t want to do 1/32 Fw-190s

by Tom Cleaver on April 12, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Everybody always wonders, what will happen to their stash when they're gone? Will SWMBO just trash it? Well, not necessarily. CINC Le Chateu du Chat likes to go to estate sales. She has found lots of good stuff at great prices, as have [...]

1/48 General Dynamics F-111A Prototype RTD&E #1

by Steve E on April 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the old Monogram, ex-Aurora, F-111A Swing Wing Fighter kit. I back dated the kit to represent the first RTD&E aircraft. Backdating the aircraft wasn't that hard. The major modification is the fuel dump area in between the two [...]

1/48 F/A-18C

by John Healy on April 9, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is a Revellogram kit built straight from the box. It was painted with Humbrol enamels and the kit decals for a VFA-113 USS Independence 1990 cruise (Desert Shield) example were used. This is the 3rd example of this kit I've built [...]

by Bill Koppos on April 8, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Just finished, Hasegawa's venerable 1/48 Zero A6M2. This is the newest boxing, Zero "Super Ace" that features a resin figure, of Testuzo Iwamoto, supposedly the 2nd highest scorer of the IJN. This guy flew from China to War's [...]

1/48 Spitfire Mk.I

by John Healy on April 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is an Airfix kit finished with Humbrol enamels over Tamiya lacquer aluminum. The roundels are from Superscale. The kit is a bit thick and chunky in areas, but is an easy route to a very early Spitfire. Built with care, it looks the [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109-G6

by Seamus Boughe on April 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Purchased this kit when it was first released somewhere in the mid nineties (I think). It was my first experience with using resin detail parts. Cockpit is the OOP KMC kit which was absolutely fabulous in that it just dropped in without [...]

1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b

by Tolga ULGUR on April 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

An early version of Spitfire from the past which is still one of favourite pieces of my Spitfire collection. This is 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b with the markings of No 92 Sqdn. during the summer of 1941. One of the original cannon armed [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk I

by Seamus Boughe on April 5, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

My first time posting here so I thought I would share one I built some time ago. This is the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk I with a Cutting Edge resin cockpit. I added some scratch-built details and finished her with Floquil Military Color [...]

Arii 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat, converted to a -5.

by Drew Tarter on April 4, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I converted the venerable Arii/Otaki F6F-3 to a -5 by filling in the rear quarter windows, sanding off the exhaust fairings, and added sheet plastic to depict metal plates fixed to the underside of the flaps (which protected the [...]

Monogram 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback “Zirkus Rosarius”

by Billy Smith on April 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This was my attempt at another captured aircraft, this one I don't think came out as well as my b-24H but it came out fair. I used the other copy of this plane on here as a reference but this one isn't nearly as detailed partially because [...]
