99% Done Academy B-17

by Dylan Michael Davis Eddy on December 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

Engines, glass, nose, turrets, etc are all added in these photos! Extremely happy with how the kit is turning out minus the gap issues throughout. The "glass" is the toughest part in terms of painting and getting into their [...]

Academy B-17 Update

by Dylan Michael Davis Eddy on December 2, 2018 · in Aviation

Okay so i apologize for the delay in posts. The last few days have been my hectic build days to get this finally taken care of. First off, all the praise I had for the fit of the cockpit went right out the window with the fuselage being [...]

Update on Academy B-17

by Dylan Michael Davis Eddy on November 9, 2018 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

So the past week and a half has been extremely busy, thus the table time had been put on hold. Managed to squeeze a few hours in tonight and got the bomb bay, pilot, co-pilot and instrument panel finished, as well as tape and prime the [...]

Progress Report

by Bill Weckel on November 4, 2018 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

After a very long period of being dormant, I've actually made some progress. I have six models ready for the spray booth: 1/48 Tamiya Sherman: Great kit and easy build. Nothing bad to say. 1/48 Tamiya T-34/76: Ditto. Great kit and easy [...]

Academy F-14A 1:48 (1988 tool)

by Matthew Fletcher on October 28, 2018 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I must say I was always intimidated by builds of modern aircraft but this build changed my mind. The kit is from 1988 and does not stand up to the new Tamiya kit but I managed to have a lot of fun with it. Lots of fit issues and old decals [...]

Academy B-17F

by Dylan Michael Davis Eddy on October 25, 2018 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Had a few minutes tonight so figured I'd open her up and get the inside of the fuselage painted up and take look at the sprues. Being my first 1/72 scale aircraft I wasnt sure what to think and honestly still don't. The directions are [...]

TBF-1 Avenger 1:72

by Matthew Fletcher on October 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I bought this kit at a local arms fair. The box appeared very neat and new yet the kit was simply a rebox of an older academy kit. There was basically no detail for the interior(which is luckily hidden pretty well on the avenger). For what [...]

Hetzer gonna hetz

by SteveSunderland on October 16, 2018 · in Armor · 13 ≡

My first posting here. The HETZER from Academy was a build with some stones in my way, but at last I'm very happy with the result. The goal was a 'battleproofed' 38t with some wounds and heavy damage on the skirts. The camouflage is [...]

Noseing closer to the goal line!

by Rob Anderson on October 13, 2018 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Double pun! NCAA Football today, AND today's update is a lot about the hard to fit nose of the Academy Phantoms! First, GO DUCKS BEAT THE HUSKIES. For those who need reference, maybe it's like England Playing France in the world cup, or [...]
