B-24 D 1/72 Academy "The Squaw", Operation Tidal Wave.

by capt. R on April 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

(link) This is my second attempt at the B-24 Liberator model from the Academy brand and I must say that it was one of the most pleasant builds I have had recently. Thanks to the experience from the previous construction, I was already [...]

Hellenic Air Force F-86E(M) Sabre: 1/48 Academy F-86F Sabre

by George R Blair Jr on April 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

When I arrived at Williams AFB in 1976 for my first day of Air Force pilot training, I was greeted by an immaculate F-86 that was the gate guard at the time. The F-86 has been one of my most favorite planes since then. Spiros (@fiveten), [...]

Academy 1/48 F-15I, Ra'am

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

A detailed kit by Academy. Among the few IDF dedicated kits that does not need any adaptations.

1/72 Academy B-29A

by Mark P Hartig on April 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I got this kit as a practice run for Academy's B-50D with the idea if I was going to bungle something it would be something that was easy to replace. No one glaring problem presented itself thru the build; if I was to whine about something [...]

Desert Shark

by Scott Nelson on April 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here’s my Academy P-40 in 1/72 scale. It’s pretty typical of most Academy models I’ve done. Details in the cockpit are sparse but, a closed canopy and careful painting gives the impression more is there. Parts fit is very good and [...]

Siam Spit...1/48 Supermarine Spitfre FR.XIVe, Royal Thai Airforce

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Suggesting my dad most of the time more rarely seen or exotic schemes. So here´s his latest effort. Academy Special Edition kit version, decals form the kit and Siam Scale, added Eduard seatbelts, rocket mounts and bomb racks. Painted [...]

Academy 1/48 F-111E

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 53 ≡

The origins of the F-111 can be traced back to the early 60s, when both the USAF and USN were seeking their new supersonic, heavily armed, twin seat, twin engine aircraft, where Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, formally directed [...]

Academy 1/48 A-10C Warthog: “The Best Hog Is A Filthy Hog!”

by Toby Nelson on March 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Here is my Academy 1/48 A-10C Warthog. This represents a jet from the 354th Fighter Squadron “Bulldogs” supporting Operation Inherent Resolve in June 2017. Photo references show that these jets were covered with gun soot from nonstop [...]

1/72 Academy F-4J Phantom US Navy

by Kristof Maes on February 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Not much I can say about this one. This box was sitting on a shelf in my garage for a while. It's a "no glue, no paint" model from Academy that I got from a friend (who got it from another friend). No one was really interested in [...]

Academy 1/144 B-52H

by Mark P Hartig on February 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I'd say another teeny gem by Academy but it ain't so teeny. It's still a gem tho, with outstanding fit and surprising detail given its scale...they even give you canopy masks in the kit. Decals are tiny and numerous but they are easy to [...]
