1969 F-4E Phantom II Thunderbird; Hasegawa 1/72
Hi fellow modellers,
Proceeding my Thunderbird series, I post a quite old build that I’ve missed before.
The Phantom II F-4E
Hope you like,
A white T-bird
The Thunderbirds started the 1969 training season still in the F-100Ds, but in [...]
Heinkel He 162A-2 in 1/72 scale from Special Hobby
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
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
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.
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
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
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"
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
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
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 [...]
