1/72 Hawk 81

by Anders Isaksson on April 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This the Airfix Hawk 81-A-2 that I built straight from the box, with the only modification being to carefully separate the canopy from the windshield. Fitting the canopy over the spine was more than a little difficult so a vacform canopy [...]

Fw190

by AL HOFFMAN on April 15, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is one of the few Axis aircraft I have built. I'm not much of a historian, I just build what's in front of me, so if anyone can fill in the blanks jump in. It is a 1/72nd Revell of Germany kit.

1/48 General Dynamics F-111A Prototype RTD&E #1

by Steve E on April 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the old Monogram, ex-Aurora, F-111A Swing Wing Fighter kit. I back dated the kit to represent the first RTD&E aircraft. Backdating the aircraft wasn't that hard. The major modification is the fuel dump area in between the two [...]

Martin B-10

by AL HOFFMAN on April 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Thought I'd make post before leaving for the IPMS Region IV Regionals at Dayton, Oh tomorrow. The B-10 was the US Army Air Force's first all steel monoplane bomber and went into service in 1934. This is the Williams Brothers 1/72 kit. Box [...]

by Larry J. Allen on April 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Recently, I have been working on helicopter kits, but this is my first one in 1/72 scale. I uysed Model Master enamels thinned with lacquer thinner through a Grex airbrush, buffing metalizers on the rotor blades, Future brushed on over [...]

Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I (Pre-war)

by Matthew Sorensen on April 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

For my first contribution to iModeler.com I present Airfix's nicely retooled 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I / IIa kit. Since returning to the hobby I've had a few fails and it feels really good to complete something for the display shelf. [...]

Boeing 247 1/72 Williams Brothers

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on March 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Built basically OOB from the Williams Bothers kit in 1/72. I wanted a different aircraft than the supplied decals so registration markings were pieced together by cutting up the kit decals and the outline of the United States hand painted [...]

iModeler Review: Tamiya 1/72 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik

by James Kelley on March 24, 2013 · in Reviews · 3 ≡

A few months ago, Tamiya released what is, most likely, the new standard for 1/48 IL-2 Shturmovik. The kit has thus been lauded for its engineering, beauty, and ease of assembly. There was also, as I remember, a bit of controversy [...]

The Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V

by Marek Halas on March 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit". I got this as a christmas gift from my in-laws back in 2008 & though I don't normally do 1/72 scale I thought it would be a simple project to get [...]

Trumpeter 1/72 Sea Fury

by Gordon Zammit on March 21, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

OOB build with the kit decals, but without the Korean war stripes. Roundels were out of register and I printed some as I couldn't find suitable replacements.
