Academy 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat, Atlantic Theater

by Greg Kittinger on December 8, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This was a nice little kit – engraved panel lines and some larger fastener details around the cowl/nose area. They were a bit like new Airfix kits, waaayyy over scale! I added a few additional missing panel lines and then riveted the [...]

Special Hobby 1/72 Harvard MkIIA

by Alistair Gauld on December 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

A reboxing of the Academy plastic with some lovely resin bits and transparencies from Special Hobby and surgical instructions to covert the Texan to the Harvard. No real issues with the fit, my only complaint would be that the masking set [...]

Rescue from the shelf of Doom: Academy's Mig 21

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

A long time ago I acquired a two-model deal. The first model (Eduard's Mirage) quickly found its way to the display shelf. I used the Polish swordfish scheme decal of the Mig model on an Eduard model and the model found it way to the shelf [...]

When I close my eyes I see teeeny tiiiny stencils.....Tamiya 1/48 F-4B

by Rob Anderson on November 2, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 22 ≡

I won't add much to the narrative of what a great kit this is, but one feature I really enjoyed was the folded wing option. I used Furball decals for the VF-84 markings (anyone else think their national insignia is too light of a blue?) [...]

My First Natural Metal Finish

by Dan Muller on October 27, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

This is an Academy 1/48 MiG-21 that I built to do in natural metal finish, my first. I used the technique found in AK’s book FAQ using Tamiya paints primarily along with other things such as pencil lead, both drawn on and powdered. I was [...]

The hard working bunny: Academy F-4J Phantom II (with Furball decals)

This is my contribution to the Jerry Grandall Tribute Group Build organized by Tom Cleaver on iModeler. Thanks Tom for the invitation and for starting this Group Build as a way to honor some of Jerry's great decals. I used EagleCals sheet [...]

Built this as a "Quickie", OOB to give me a break between the "Dora", and the now started 1/100th HMS Victory. (build photo's on another article eventually) Kit was a real pleasure to build, but for some reason i had an [...]
