B-24 D 1/72 Academy "The Squaw", Operation Tidal Wave.

by capt. R on April 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

(link) This is my second attempt at the B-24 Liberator model from the Academy brand and I must say that it was one of the most pleasant builds I have had recently. Thanks to the experience from the previous construction, I was already [...]

by Korolev Vlad on April 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

The model is built from two sets. Revell - Sopwith Triplane and wings from Sopwith Strutter - TOKO.

Fujimi 1/72 A-6A Intruder

by Greg Kittinger on April 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

One of my earliest builds once back into the hobby (decades ago) was a Revell Intruder. I still have it, but will toss it now that I've built a real kit! The Fujimi kit has ducting to the blades all the way through front and rear (though [...]

1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Type 21

by Michael Smith on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I've always wanted to build a set of 1941-42 IJN carrier airplanes, and picked up a complete set of Hasegawa kits last summer. This is the first to make it to the workbench, a A6M2b that appears to be a 1993 issue. It is finished as Lt. [...]

Lockheed AP-3C(EW) Orion, 10 Squadron RAAF

by Ray Seppala on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I completed this one some months ago, it is the Hasegawa P-3C kit converted to an RAAF ISR/EW aircraft. The base kit was updated with a Hamilton Hobbies EW conversion set as well as additional scratch building of fittings and antennas not [...]

Lockheed LC-130F Hercules

by Ray Seppala on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the 1/72 Italeri C-130 kit (Testors boxing) built as an LC-130F of the United States Navy. It represents LC-130F 148321 of VXE-6 which crashed in 1971 at an ice runway 860 miles (1,380 km) from McMurdo Station as a result of two [...]

Lockheed HC-130N Hercules

by Ray Seppala on April 19, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the original tooling of the Airfix C-130 kit. I have built it as a USAF HC-130N CSAR aircraft or as the USAF puts it "the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory". To build the [...]

Me 262A - 1960 and 2017 Airfix 1/72 kits

by Michael Smith on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I recently finished a double-build - two 1/72 Me 262A German jet fighters. The reason for the double-build was that I had two kits - a 1960 Airfix kit which I sat on for so long they came out with a much-improved version in 2017, which I [...]

A model that I originally didn't want to build at all – but which was (and still is!) a lot of fun: Zlin 137 Agro

by Roland Sachsenhofer on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The path to building this model of the Zlin 137 Agro is so entertainingly winding and full of twists and turns that I would like to start this report with a description of it. Sometimes the journey changes the perspective in such a way [...]

Spitfire IX, Royal Egyptian Air Force, Kovozavody Prostejov (KPM) 1/72

by Aldo Missio on April 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Does the world need another Spitfire Mk IX kit, especially short run, when there are so many mainstream kits out there? Probably wouldn't have purchased the kit, but my buddy won it at a model show raffle, and it's not his scale. This [...]
