Wing Folded Wildcat

by Scott Nelson on March 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Here’s my 1/72 Airfix Wildcat. The problems were probably all self-induced but this one fought me all the way. I found the landing gear particularly difficult and never did get them to fit perfectly. Additionally, it was a good thing I [...]

Douglas C-47 Dakota Airfix 1/72

by Harm on February 25, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is one of my first builds after restarting this hobby. I hadn’t discovered wheatering-techniques during this build, so will have a look on that the next few months. The paratroopers (Italeri) make it a bit more lively. Living close [...]
