Revell 1/72 Blohm und Voss Bv 222 V2
While not the largest operational aircraft in the Luftwaffe, the Wiking performed effective service through transporting supplies and personnel. With six engines, it was still underpowered and required a long stretch of (quiet) water [...]
PM 1/72 Fokker D.XXI
The origins of the D.XXI can be traced back to the end of 1934, when Fokker submitted design proposals to the Nederlandse Luchtvaartafdeling (Dutch Army Aviation Group) for a low-wing monoplane fighter that would feature an entirely [...]
Trumpeter, 1/72, F-100D Super Sabre
Hi everyone,
Here is my Trumpeter, 1/72, F-100D Super Sabre.
An excellent kit:
Construction is easy, parts fit is excellent - no putty is required at any stage and the the details are absolutely reasonable for such a scale.
To the model I [...]
Arma Hobby 1/72 P-39N
Love these Arma Hobby kits, even though they are a tad over-engineered. It probably took me about as much time to get the interior finished and the fuselage closed up, as it did all the rest of the process! The kit comes with a great set [...]
1/72 Eduard Mig-15 Build
The Mig-15 (NATO codenamed: Fagot) was the premier jet fighter of the Soviet Union during the early 1950s. It was developed out of the ashes of the Mig-9 which was a disaster in part because the designers placed the armament right in [...]
1/72 North American XB-70 "VALKYRIE" - October 12, 1964 - Test flight No. 3 - 9:07 a.m. – Edward's USAF Base (California)
On October 12, 1964, during its third test flight, its first supersonic, the paint of the XB-70 was torn off in entire patches on nearly 15% of the surface.
Whose fault is it ? Nobody really knows, but each time a VIP was announced for a [...]
Revell 1/72 Shackleton AEW.2
Probably, the best kit in the scale. Revell's new tool Shackleton is superior (but not by a large margin) to the Airfix kit. In all, it is not a difficult build and results with a big and impressive model.
Fujimi’s A5M4 in 1/72
I’ve had this one in the stash for awhile and it was an older kit when I got it. That meant the decals were not of much use as they yellowed considerably. So I masked everything on this one.
I also used a trick from Tom Cleaver to get [...]
Show report: Blue Angel Modelfest in Milton, FL.
I attended the Blue Angel Modelfest in Milton, Florida yesterday. The show was sponsored by the Pensacola Modeleers. This was a fun way to spend a day with fellow enthusiasts from the Florida panhandle and south Alabama. It was a really [...]
DC 2 J-BBOT „Aso“: lost over the vastness of the Pacific – and actually rescued!
A fuselage with metal covering, in which the glazed, closed cockpit is just as aerodynamically cleanly incorporated as the engine nacelles are blended into the shapes of the wings, a retractable landing gear, variable pitch propellers: [...]
