1/48 SPAD XIII

by John Healy on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is a DML kit modified to the early rounded wingtip configuration. I built this one last year, finishing it with Humbrol enamels and an ancient MSAP decal sheet that performed as if it were brand new. This was the last old DML WW1 [...]

1/48 F-4J

by John Healy on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is an Esci kit that I mproved with some parts from the spares box and scratchbuilt. These old Esci Phantoms build well, have recessed panel lines, and are pretty accurate in shape. They lack details in the cockpit and afterburner [...]

Eduard 1/48th Nieuport 17 in RFC Service

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is Eduard's crisp little Nieuport 17 with a some extra detailing. The kit cockpit is fairly simple, with a flat floor with a step for the seat and molded in heel boards. It looks fine once it's all closed up. However, in an attempt [...]

Roden 1/48th S.E.5a

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

In the box, this kit provides all of the classic Roden pebbly, wobbly plastic, fiddly fits, obscure attachment points, and horrific decals at no extra cost to the modeler. The scariest part was shaving down the tabs for the cabane and [...]

Falcon 1/48 Spitfire F.R.XVIII – vacuform

by Tom Cleaver on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This was done about 2004. The Falcon 1/48 F.R. XVIII vacuform. Still the most accurate Spitfire XIV/XVIII in 1/48. I used a resin cockpit (something I had, nobody can really tell the detail differences between Spitfire cockpits in 1/48 [...]

1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt

by Anders Isaksson on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the wonderful Tamiya kit built out of the box with only a set of Eduard pre-painted seatbelts added along with an aftermarket decal sheet used to mark this one as 'My Gal Sal' from 378th FS/362nd FG based in England during [...]

1/48 Tamiya F-16C Arkansas

by Matt Mears on December 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Hey Guys latest build, my 1/48 Tamiya F-16 Tried my first bleaching affect on the top of the aircraft to give it a weathered look and then put a wash on, Let me know what you think ! Thanks Matty

1/48th Dragon Ho-229B Nachtjager

by Walt on December 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I enjoy building WWII Luftwaffe night fighters. When I saw this kit I jumped at it. I loved the idea of the flying wing night fighter with Hs298 air-to-air missles. This was my second Dragon kit and it followed the same build pattern [...]

by Tolga ULGUR on December 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here is my 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IIa finished with the markings of “421 Flight” from RAF Hawkinge. RAF Hawkinge is a former Royal Air Force station located in Kent, near to the south coast and the closest airfield to the French [...]

Tony Fokker’s Greatest Hits

by Merrill Anderson on December 25, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Three Eduard 1/48 kits, done pretty close to 'out of the box', fussy but excellent kits. One note, the Triplane is greener than the photos, some error by me in lighting or camera setting,the streaking was done with oil paints over [...]
