1/48th Tamiya Me-262

by Walt on December 7, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

After seeing Grega X post on his beautiful Me 262 I thought I would put my effort up here also. I have to agree, this kit is awesome, I have built the Monogram and Dragon Me 262 in 48th scale and this one is better on all levels. I [...]

Special Hobby Bristol Blenheim Mk.1

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

1/48 , and an interesting aircraft, and usual "interpretive" build, as one needs to get the parts to somehow hold hands long enough for the glue to set. Built several years ago, sans gloss coat, panel lines or weathering. [...]

Hasagawa 1/48 Canadair Sabre Mk5 "Frecce Tricolori" with a twist

by George Tufnail on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

So what do you do when you get two really cool sets of markings and only one model? Split the schemes! Blue side is 1963, and the black side is 1961. I painted the tricolour lower wing, but all the other markings are from the kit decal [...]

1/48 Tamiya Me-262 Schwalbe

by Grega X on December 6, 2012 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Still probably the best kit of this bird in quarter scale, with Aires detail set. I did suffer a bit of "going into details too much" with this one, but i think the result is more than satisfying. There aren't any problems [...]

Kyushu J7W3 Shinden Japanese “Jet Ace” 1947

by Gary Brantley on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Well, how about another “what if” history project? I hope you don’t mind. This started off as just a regular build of the Hasegawa Kyushu J7W1 Shinden. This aircraft had long fascinated me, with it’s unorthodox canard design and [...]

1/48 Classic Airframes Fokker DXXI

by Charlie Isaacs on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

This is Classic Airframes earlier release of the Fokker DXXI. I understand that they have released a later kit that is easier to build. This kit is the usual multi-media kit with p-e and resin parts in addition to the injection-molded [...]

1/48 Smer FIAT Cr32

by Charlie Isaacs on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is Smer's FIAT Cr32. Many of Smer's kits are old Artiplast re-releases and are very crude. They are usually in 1/50th scale. This one seems closer to actual 1/48th scale. The decals were useless (yellowed and only in Austrian Air [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Nakajima Ki-27 ‘Nate’

by Charlie Isaacs on December 5, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is Hasegawa's release of an old Mania kit from the 70s. It is a very easy kit to construct and fits together well. It comes with decals and canopies for both the Ki-27a and Ki-27b. The Ki-27 served the Japanese Army Air Force from [...]

RF-101B Voodoo “Black Magic”

by Gary Brantley on December 4, 2012 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This is the Monogram 1/48 kit. I've built it in a pseudo-Blackbird scheme I guess. I used various black enamels, eg. semi-gloss, flat, and gloss and then used the same type finishes in clear acrylic. The decal are from a F-117 set, [...]

1/48 Classic Airframes Grumman Duck

by Walt on December 3, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

After seeing all the Wildcats with the beautiful medium blue over gray. I thought I would post pictures of my Grumman Duck. I finished it earlier this year. It was my first biplane, but I got the bug and wanted to finish a model with [...]
