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 [...]

Ryan L-17B Navion / USS CV-32 Leyte – 1/72

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on September 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

The Navion was originally designed at the end of World War II by North American Aviation. Ryan Aeronautical Company acquired the design in the summer of 1947, launching production at its San Diego factory in 1948. Ryan built 1,240 Navions [...]

Italeri B-25 H Mitchell "Gunship"

by Bob Torres on September 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built this kit a while ago around 1984, it was built straight out of the box. I used the "Sweet Sue" decal set from the Matchbox B-25 kit, the US insignias are from Microscale and the white stripes are also Microscale that cost [...]

Revell 1/72 Bf-110 G-4 Hungarian Night fighter

by Greg Kittinger on September 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is a VERY old Revell kit. The plastic had a few raised lines, the radar was very thick and clunky, and there was not a shred of detail in the cockpit. So...started by sanding off all the raised lines, in prep for scribing and [...]

Revell 1/72 Arado E.555

by Spiros Pendedekas on September 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 50 ≡

Hi everyone! This is my Revell 1/72 Arado E.555 "Amerikabomber". In response to the RLM's Amerikabomber project, Arado’s E.555 proposal included a series of long range jet bomber designs of various sizes, powerplants, crew and [...]

Restoration Project, Avro Vulcan B1a

by Ian Foulkes on September 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Well, the danger of moving boxes etc in the man cave, you occasionally come across a project you had tucked away in a "safe place" and then forgotten about. This is the Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B2, converted back to a B1a. I used [...]
