Silver Horse, and Fighting Rooster

by capt. R on October 7, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I first encountered the Mustang model in the early nineties. It was an Airfix kit from the Aircraft of the aces series. Of course, then the model seemed to be perfect in its performance. I painted it with the usual Humbrol paints and a [...]

1/72 Italeri – KA-6D Intruder

by Djordje Colovic on October 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Well, I gave word not to do any other Italeri kit, but... I got this kit on scale model competition and I did it as a joy build, but with much, much putty, bad fit, holes... I finished it in a matter of few days with a little bit [...]

Matchbox 1/72 Do-18

by Bob Torres on October 5, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

My 1/72 Matchbox Do-18 (PK-409) build from 1986. An old build that needed some good cleaning and slight restoration. This was a big mess and I am pretty happy it is back in view again. I remember enjoying this build very much. I did fill [...]

Heinkel He 162A-2 in 1/72 scale from Special Hobby

by Istvan Havril on October 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I would like to say a few words about the freshly finished 1/72 He 162. The Special Hobby kit is a relatively fresh release and since I like all German jet planes, I purchased it soon after its release. I intended it for a quick, loose [...]

1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat – Airfix New Mold

by Michael Smith on October 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This build has a story. In 1992 I attended the “1942: Issue in Doubt” symposium by the Admiral Nimitz Museum (now the National Museum of the Pacific War). Featured speakers at the event included several pilots who had fought at the [...]

1/72 Special Hobby Tachikawa Ki-54 Hickory

by George R Blair Jr on October 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I am always looking for something a little different to build, and I was pleased when Special Hobby recently released this new model. The new Special Hobby kits have a very good reputation, so I was eager to build this plane for the [...]

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort.

by Robert Joseph Cookson on October 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

Another gem of a kit from Airfix. Flawless fit from start to finish. Built from the box, apart from an Eduard harness I added to the pilot seat. Finished in MRP paints, with some oils for final weathering. A highly enjoyable build, it took [...]

Mach-2 1/72 Bell X-1E

by Alistair Gauld on October 2, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I bought this a long time ago as it was extremely cheap. I didn't know about Mach-2 at the time and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it might be when I found out. The decals were absolutely horrible and were prone to disintegrate on [...]
