I can't quite remember when this was completed,I'm pretty sure sometime before 1985. The subject is the Lockheed model 9 Orion which shared a number of components with the more well known Vega. I started with the venerable AMT [...]

Accurate Miniatures F3F-1

by John Healy on November 29, 2012 · in Uncategorized · 4 ≡

Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat 1/48

by Rickard Malmborg on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The Tamiya Wildcat was a nice kit to build, clever parts breakdown and no fit problem (as with most Tamiya kits); the only extra I put in to it was some details in the cockpit. There was a lot of talk about the floor in this kit (as the [...]

Blast from the past. 1/48 Aurora Gotha GV.

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on November 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I thought I'd join in the fun with an oldie from the back of the display case, built 27 years ago. Constructed from an original Aurora 1/48 Gotha G. V kit, the one with the hard brittle red plastic, only the basic airframe parts, [...]

Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.24 – 1/48 Eduard, Aires, Falcon,..

by Josef Blažek on November 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Hi everyone ! This is the Airfix kit (reboxed by Eduard) with Aires engine set and cockpit set. I also used Eduard´s flaps and Quickboost´s cannon barrels. The canopy from a kit was too thick and scratched so I replaced it by new one [...]
