Academy B-17F: Mediterranean Ferret

by George R Blair Jr on July 10, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 29 ≡

I am always looking for planes to build that are a little out of the ordinary. I came across an article in Aviation Historian about B-17Fs that were used in the Mediterranean as ferrets. A ferret is an aircraft that is designed to [...]

Academy 1/48 P-47D Bubbletop

by Tom Bebout on May 16, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

After completing Lt Richard W. Lander's P-40F, who was assigned to the 315th FS, 324th FG, I was asked if I could also build a P-47 he flew. His Group went from N Africa to Italy then on to Southern France where their P-40F's were replaced [...]

P-51C "Lucky Thirteen"

by Tom Bebout on May 8, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Something different from the Bebout Curtiss P-40 Factory, Jackie Cochran's Lucky Thirteen P-51C. If you're not familiar with Jackie Cochran one can summarize her as an aviator, test pilot, spokesperson as well as a successful [...]

23 - 1/48 Academy Lavochkin Lav-7

by Anthony Ricco on May 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This was a pretty straight forward build, went together easily enough and had no real issues. I decided to do the Aircraft of Captain Aleksei Alelyukhin. Painted red by his mechanics and flew over Berlin as it fell to the Russians to dig [...]

Academy 1/48 F-14A Tomcat

by PHILLIP EVANS on May 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Calling this one finally completed. My Academy 1/48 F-14A Tomcat. I am not weathering it as it was a CAG plane and all the photos I have of it in this scheme show a clean aircraft. Decals used are the stencils & missiles from the kit [...]

Tamiya P-38F MTO, USAAF 1/48th Tunisia 1943

by Chuck A. Villanueva on March 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

To say that the Tamiya P-38 was a joy to build is an understatement. Having built the Academy and Hasegawa Lightning's which are good models of the P-38, just that Tamiya had really taken a rather complicated twin boom air frame and made [...]

Academy 1/72 IL-2 Stormovik

by David Adams on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Finished this Xmas present that my daughter gave me. Academy 1/72nd aircraft kits are good quality (IMHO) but this kit maybe just a little over-engineered. The cockpit assembly is nicely detailed but I almost broke it trying to fit it [...]

by Derek Bowen on February 15, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This Vindicator represents one of the USMC planes stationed at Midway Island that participated in the Battle of Midway. The white "stripes" are medical tape the crews used to patch the canvas exterior and the grey lines around [...]
