Academy 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair

by Jordyn Collier on February 12, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 22 ≡

I bring to you my F4U-1 Corsair in 1/48th scale, a gift from Louis Gardner. This model was a labor to build. I loved the kit so much. It was a fun project and even had some unexpected challenges fit wise that I ended up solving. I thought [...]

Mom's 1/48 Academy P-38

by Tom Bebout on February 9, 2020 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This build is a tribute to my late mother and is not representative of any P-38 that actually flew. However, I did steal the nose work idea from Richard Bongs' P-38. Years ago when I started building models again mom asked me if I would [...]

Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE

by Rodney J. Williams on February 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]

Stretching a weekend build, Academys 1/48 Griffon powered Spit

by Jimmy Zed on February 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Plenty has been written about the failings of this kit and i won't go into detail here beside dropping a Jon Bius quote that i think is fitting for most of us modellers... 'But I believe most modelers just want to enjoy a build. They [...]

P-47N....Au Natural!

by gary sausmikat on January 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Hey All, My first post for 2020. Also the first build in my personal tribute to build subjects, used during 1945, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of WW2. This aircraft is the famous P-47N from the 318th FG 333rd FS based at Ie shime, [...]

Tamiya P-38F

by Darren Dickerson on January 2, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here she is at last...life got in the way more than a few times since I started building this wonderful kit. I added an Ultracast seat and wheels, Master barrels and antenna from spares box. Decals are from the Eduard kit (Academy mold) [...]

Academy’s “pregnant cat”, a last minute 2019 completion!

by Thiago C. M. Pacheco on December 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Hello, fellas! This is Academy’s infamous “pregnant cat” I finished yesterday in true “almost OOB” fashion. The interior was dressed up with some Eduard PE bits, as well as Master barrels for the .50 machine guns. I first [...]

Thank you Louis Gardener!

by Jordyn Collier on December 22, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Another Christmas gift from another great person. I really dont know how to articulate my thanks for these awesome gifts. Louis included a P-40 and a Corsair for me to build, both being in 1/48th scale. I've built academy before, but this [...]

Scarlet Kate and Little Joe

by Mike Grant on December 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I built these two 1/72 P-51Bs to compare the Academy and Revell kits. I enjoyed both builds, although the Academy kit – finished as 'Scarlet Kate' – was perhaps the easiest of the two in terms of fit and ease of construction. I also [...]
