Me109-E4

by Bernard Wylie on November 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

My first completed model in 30 years, it's not 100% accurate and I've yet to add the aerial but I'm happy with how it turned out. Airfix 1:48 club Me109 kit with Eduard PE and after market decals, airbrushed with Humbrol enamels. [Edit: [...]

Tamiya 1:48th F4U-iD

by Ross McArthur on November 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I took up the challenge of a few commission builds, for a chap who builds R/C. His mission brief was for reference kits in 1:48th of RNZAF a/c used in the PTO. Normally his preference was for moderate weathering. However, due to the [...]

F2G Super Corsair Racer Kit Bash

by George Tufnail on November 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This was one of my first forays into AMS and kit bashing. I started with a Special Hobbies 1/48 F2G Racer, and added the wings from an Academy 1/48 F4U-1A, because I wanted the flaps down, and I wasn't about to chop up a Tamiya kit. I do [...]

by Erik Muntzing on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Hello all, First off, an introduction. I'm currently a senior in high school and I have been modeling for a year and a half. In that time I have ruined a few models but have also pumped out quite a few good ones as well. The pictures I [...]

by Dan DeSilva on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Hi again- sorry for the multiple posts tonight- I only have now to do these. I took the AMT F7F, converted it using the HiTech resin parts, Obscureco props (the kit ones are, well.. backwards), and Squadron canopies, and finally metal [...]

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 IL-2 Shturmovik

by Dan DeSilva on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation

I saw a profile of this aircraft- yeah I know- you should use photos not someone's idea of a photo, but I couldn't resist- it was the only image I could find of a cannon toting IL-2! I used Scale Aircraft Modelling's article on Shturmoviks [...]

Hobbycraft 1/48 Ju-88- with a LOT of changes

by Dan DeSilva on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation

Hi all, I got the Hobbycraft 1/48 Ju-88 unaware of all its issues! I had the support of a lot of online modelling contacts to help me fix this sow's ear! Spare props from a Dragon Ju-88, metal gear legs from Airwaves I can't remember? [...]

48th Scale Monogram F-18

by Jack Mugan on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This was an early Monogram kit and featured the fuselage split horizontally. I sanded off all the panel lines and drew them back in with pencil. I wanted to see if I could use the low-vis scheme and still make an interesting scheme. I saw [...]

48th Scale War Weary Tigercat

by Jack Mugan on November 26, 2012 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Yes it did look that bad and I have the photo I used for reference. I started out looking for a different way to do a black scheme and found this shot in Squadron's book on the Tigercat. I added a resin nose, drilling it out to accept [...]
