by Ramon R. Lomeli on April 9, 2014 · in Armor · 27 ≡

Hello everybody! Here is my Academy 1/35 scale M2 Bradley. I picked this kit up while stationed in Korea back in 1995/96. It only took me until a month ago to finish! I pretty much built it out of the box, aside form adding some [...]

Academy 48th Scale F-4B Finally Complete

by Jack Mugan on March 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

It's hard to believe it was seven months ago that I posted some in-progress photos on this project. There was a lot of decal work even before I added the Mike Grant rivets. I liked the kit and built it OOB.

U.S. Coast Guard Post War Aircraft

by Mike Maynard on March 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]

Academy (Easy kit) 1/144th SU-25 Frogfoot

by Joe Caputo on February 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The SU-25 Frogfoot is the Russian equivalent of the USAF A-10. It's not graceful looking, but is pretty much "purpose built". I guess that's what has always attracted me to it. In this particular case, I had little choice but [...]

Academy 1:48 F-15E

by Emeterio de la Iglesia Blanco on February 12, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello everybody! This is my last build, the huge Strike Eagle. Buildind this beast took some time, dry fitting, sanding and filling is essential to achieve a decent finish, especially on intakes and fuselage-wings join. The weapon loadout [...]

This is the 1/48 Academy kit of a F-15E Strike Eagle from 492nd FS (RAF Lakenheath), depicted as deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, 2006, hence a little dirtier than at home. Except for a few RBF tags, everything is OOB. Those of [...]
