1/72 scale modeling

U.S.Coast Guard HU-16E 1963

Well today is the US Coast Guard's 225th birthday, so I had to post something the "wing maggots" (we-who-did-not-fly's endearing term for our CG aviator brothers) would recognize. It's the last of my Monogram 1:72 scale HU-16's [...]

Japanese Ram-jets

Meng 1/72 Kayaba Katsuodori Ram-jets It seems to be '1/72 Japanese week' on iM, so here's another contribution. These Meng kits come two-in-a-box, and are superbly moulded. The actual aircraft was a concept only and never got beyond one [...]

Fujimi 1/72 B7A1 “Grace” – Training colors

Having just viewed Milan's beautifully done Grace, and having not posted in some time (still racking up hours decalling my MiG-31...), I decided to yank this out of my display case and post it, just to have a couple versions of the Grace [...]

Fujimi 1/72 Aichi B7A1, Ryusei Grace

Ryusei due to its long development never reached its intended role as carrier bomber. Very large plane with inverted gull wings is certainly interesting as modelling subject. Fujimi's kit is tipical mid-'80s, with subtle engraved details, [...]

Built out of the box, this kit represents Lancaster of 408 (Goose) Squadron, 6 Group Royal Canadian AF, RAF Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire. This aircraft was lost on Hamburg raid July 28/29. 1944, whole crew was lost. Construction was [...]

Martin B-57 Intruder – REVELL – 1/72

This model was fitted to prove that you can put functionality in a 1/72 kit without much compromise the accuracy of the final result. In it, all rudders are mobile (elevator, aileron and direction), the turbines rotate (just blow), the [...]

Airfix 1/72 Cessna O-1 Bird Dog

I remember building this kit as a teenager back in the 70s, but a few years ago I had another crack at it. It's actually quite a nice little model, spoilt only by the poor clear parts and some unfortunately placed ejection-pin marks. I [...]

Meteoric Rise

Xtrakit 1/72 Gloster Meteor F.8 Amongst my all-time favourite aircraft are several 50's jets – including the F-86, Hawker Hunter and Gloster Meteor. Xtrakit's 1/72 Meteor kit was a re-boxed MPM tooling, and looked great in the box with [...]

HMCS Snowberry (Pennant K166)

This is the Flower Class Corvette, HMS Snowberry, although more correctly listed as HMCS Snowberry, as it was one of ten Corvettes lent to the Canadians in 1941 for convoy escort and anti-submarine duties in the North Atlantic. Details of [...]
