My latest is the Academy reboxing of AM's P-51B, and represents" Missouri Mauler" flown my Captain Willard Milllikan of the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group. He was involved in a mid-air collision with a wing mate while [...]

Academy 1/72 F-8E

by Tom Rodgers on August 29, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

A friend sent me this kit and I will be mailing him the result in a few days. I decided to try a “quick” build for a change but still add as much detail as was reasonable. My usual builds take 2-3 months but I completed this one in two [...]

1/35 Academy M1A2 Abrams SEP v2 TUSK II

by Wes Pennest on June 9, 2020 · in Armor · 4 ≡

The Abrams tank has always been a challenge for me to model. I've never had a happy time building these, being so infuriated by the old Dragon offering with the separate guide teeth on their floppy, rubbery tracks that I didn't even bother [...]

Academy 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

by Mike Licari on May 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This was a fun build! I've never had much luck with Academy's decals, so when I found the cool Hawaii ANG sheet, I was set. Although maybe basic by some standards, I think the cockpit builds up nicely after a wash and drybrushing. Same [...]

f-4j ”jolly rogers” academy 1/48

by DIONYSIOS MOYKRIOTIS on May 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Beatiful kit i think vallue for money. Exceptional fitting with very little amount of putty. Attention needs on the wheel bay because you have to put them before you close the wings an you have to be careful to be straight. The colours i [...]

Academy 1/72 F-18F US Navy

by George V Guimaraes on May 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello, This my recent project, OOB. A really easy kit, nice fitting and engineering. The only, and big, complain are the decals. They're virtually useless, way too thick. So, I put it on hold and waited for a new set from ebay. Hope you [...]

Building the Academy 48th scale P-38M

by Jack Mugan on April 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I am sure many of my fellow modelers took advantage of the sheltering in place situation to commemorate this historical event with a model project. I decided to use this time to check off my bucket list a model, that has languished for a [...]

Academy Minicraft LB-30 Liberator

by Ray Seppala on April 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

QANTAS obtained 4 EX-RAF Consolidated LB-30 Liberators from BOAC in 1944 to supplement the Catalinas servicing the Kangaroo Route (or Double Sunrise route) to Colombo in Ceylon. They did the trip 5 hours faster and could carry 4 times the [...]
