Helldivers! SB2C-1, two SB2C-4s, SB2C-5

by Tom Cleaver on January 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

All from the Monogram kit. The SB2C-1 is the Accurate Miniatures release, corrected to be an SB2C-1 (what they provided was kinda/sorta an SB2C-1C), with 4 50s in the wings, the rear glass in the pilot's canopy, correct 3 blade prop, [...]

ICM 1/48 LaGG-3 Ser.7

by Bryan W. Bernart on January 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is a nice little kit, and a reasonable build. First painted green/black, then oversprayed with tones of white, then grubbed up more than I am usually comfortable with. I also used an Eduard Color Zoom Interior that I found at a deep [...]

Airfix Seafire XV

by Tony Prince on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Having double ordered Airfix's new 1/48 scale Spitfire XII & Seafire XVII & completed one of each with a great deal of satisfaction, I wondered what to do with the second pair of kits that would be more interesting than doing the [...]

A-M 1/48 SBD-5 Dauntless

by Tom Cleaver on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Another OOB build of one of the best OOB kits ever released, the Accurate Miniatures SBD-5 Dauntless in the markings of VMSB-232 during the Central Pacific Campaign. Following the successful taking of Kwajalein in the Marshalls, the other [...]

A-M 1/48 SBD-4 Dauntless

by Tom Cleaver on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

One of the last releases by "real" Accurate Miniatures was the SBD-4, which differs from the SBD-3 primarily by having the same prop as the SBD-5, and was also provided with these decals to do a VS-41 Dauntless from the Ranger [...]

1/48 Battle of France Spitfire I

by John Healy on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is an almost self-building Tamiya kit. Painted and finished with Humbrol enamels and Superscale decals. The only thing I really added to this one was a set of Eduard belts.

AZ 1/48 Ki-48I “Lily”

by Bryan W. Bernart on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Oddly misshapen and a labor to build. One of two kit options,this example fought in the CBI theater, based somewhere in Thailand, 1943. The other kit option, another Thailand based Ki-48 , was evidently shot down over Rangoon by the AVG. [...]

SB2U-3 of VMSB-231, flown by 2nd Lt Sumner Whitten with gunner Sgt Frank Zelnis, who survived the squadron's attack against the Japanese fleet on 4 June 1942. The next day 2nd Lt. Robert Vaupell flew Whitten's airplane for the attack on [...]

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 SB2U-1 ‘Vindicator”

by Tom Cleaver on December 31, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This and the SB2U-3 are the last ones for 2012. Done back in 2005, using the Yellow Wings Decals "Dive Bomber" set to do the airplane from VB-3 that was used when LCDR Joe Blake (Fred MacMurray) took LT Doug Lee (Erroll Flynn) [...]

Roden 1/48th Gladiator Mk.II in Finnish Service

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 31, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

The Roden Gladiator is one of their better 1/48th biplane kits, owing mainly to the parts being a bit more robust than most of their WW1 kits. This model represents GL-255, a machine belonging to LeLv 26 flown by 44-victory Ace Sgt. Oiva [...]
