Layers of War: 1/48th Academy F-4C Phantom II

by Fly Past Rush on March 17, 2025 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Back in the 80s when I got interested in Vietnam era aircraft, I started collecting reference material from books and magazines (because this was before the Internet) One gem of a book was Lou Drendel's "...And Kill MiGs". I [...]

Phantom Cockpit Museum Exhibit in 1/48

by Chuck Horner on March 11, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Step right up! The new Phantom Exhibit is now open! Oh, the things that come from a modeler’s work bench when one has too much time. I was working on a project that back-dated a Phantom to a very early F4H-1. The conversion kit [...]

Academy B-52H 1/144

by George V Guimaraes on March 6, 2025 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Hello! Here’s my latest project—and my first in 1/144 scale—the Academy B-52H, an iconic Cold War bomber. I have to admit, working in this scale wasn’t the most enjoyable experience. The lack of detail and, of course, the tiny [...]

1/48 Academy PBJ-1D “The Fork-Tailed Devils” of VMB-433

by David Kopielski on February 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This was the first build of 2025 I built Academy’s 1/48 PBJ-1D (B-25D). The scheme is the “The Fork-Tailed Devils” of VMB-433 for the U.S. Marines located on Emirau Island, New Guinea 1944. I added some resin seats as well as photo [...]

Academy 1/35 M4A3 Sherman Calliope

by Ko Lok Kan, Arthur on February 3, 2025 · in Armor · 10 ≡

This is my take on the Academy 1/35 Sherman Calliope. I'm a Shermanholic and I like Shermans with interesting features. I've taken time to search for reference for this build. Details omitted by the Academy kit are replaced or recreated. [...]

Air Guard F-16C

by Jay Mitchell on December 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is the Academy 1/48 scale F-16A/C kit. It’s not as detailed as many of the newer F-16 kits that are available , but it isn’t a terrible kit. I’ve had some Super Scale decals for Air National Guard & Reserve F-16s for [...]

1/144 Academy Ah-64D Longbow Apache

by Boris Grgić on December 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Not much story to tell...just another idea I had to pursue

1/48 Academy A-10C – Flying Tigers with Lights.

by David Kopielski on November 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This commission build is Academy’s 1/48 A-10C “75th FS Flying Tigers” kit. The scheme is how this aircraft looked in 2014. I added Eduard photo etch detail set, Master Model brass gun, Ares resin ejection seat, and I used eight [...]

PBY-5A Catalina RAAF Academy 1/72

by capt. R on October 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

(link) Catalina is one of my favorite naval aircraft. I remember in the early nineties when it was in the shop window, painted black, and I could only dream of buying it. So after thirty years I am going back to my dreams. Almost a year [...]

Academy 1/48 Mig 21FM India Air Force

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Although not accurate in outlines, Academy's Mig 21 still makes and attractive looking model given the variety of colorful camouflage schemes that the aircraft adorned in Air Force units throughout the world.
