1/48 Academy F-16

by Joe Caputo on September 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This Academy kit has been around 15-20 years. It's still available, and is one of the less expensive F-16 kits. I had a set of Florida ANG for an F-16, which was why I got the kit. I ended up with a simple kit, simple decals, and a [...]

1/35 Stuart by Academy: a Honey of a Tank

by Michael Wayne Knowles on September 1, 2013 · in Armor · 7 ≡

The Stuart was an American light tank designed to emulate the cavalry of old -- racing out to spy out the enemy lines, wreak havoc, and dash back home. It was thus named Stuart after the dashing Confederate General who served as Robert E [...]

1/350 HMS Warspite by Academy

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 30, 2013 · in Ships · 4 ≡

HMS Warspite was the most decorated ship in the history of the Royal navy. Fighting all the way from Jutland in WWI throughout WWII, she was in more violent engagements than any other battleship of the modern era. Launched as a member of [...]

1/350 Graf Spee by Academy

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 28, 2013 · in Ships · 15 ≡

This is one of my earliest big ships and it was a joy to build. Despite Academy's heavy handed molding of the finer details, I found the model to be very satisfying. I was able to replace most of them with extra/alternate parts from the [...]

1/72 Academy PBY 5A "Black Cat"

by Joe Caputo on August 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Who doesn't like seaplanes and amphibs? Academy makes a nice looking series of PBY's. I had seen the weathered "Black Cat" version, and just had to give it a try. This is one I really feel looks better in person, than the [...]

by Tom Cleaver on June 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Two Hunter F-5s, done with the Aeroclub conversion for cockpit, seat, landing gear and tail cone from the Academy F.6. These are the two squadrons of Hunters based on Cyprus during the Suez Intervention in 1956 for defense of the island [...]

1/32 Academy Hornet

by Rob Colvin on June 18, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Mostly OOB...A resin seat and the 500lb LGBs came from a trumpeter F-14. Great kit!

Super Cobra

by AL HOFFMAN on June 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the Academy 1/35 AH-1W Super Cobra. Built OOB. Went together fairly easily. The cockpit glass could have fit better, should have posed it open. Even though the pictures don't show it the finish is rather grainy. Can't remember what [...]

Academy 1/72 B-17F

by Tom Bebout on May 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A couple of years ago I'm visiting my brother and sister-in-law and noticed she had displayed a photo of her deceased father and the crew of his B-17F Double Exposure. Bernard Brailer is in the second row, fourth man going from left to [...]

P-38J Flown by Philip Goldstein/Graham 49th FS, 14th FG, Triolo, Italy 1944

by Frank Cronin on May 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Through another friend I found out that Philip Graham lives in San Francisco so I gave him a call. We agreed to meet for lunch and chat about his service. Prior to the lunch I made this model of his airplane so that I could present it to [...]
