Academy 1/48 F-111E

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 53 ≡

The origins of the F-111 can be traced back to the early 60s, when both the USAF and USN were seeking their new supersonic, heavily armed, twin seat, twin engine aircraft, where Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, formally directed [...]

Academy 1/48 A-10C Warthog: “The Best Hog Is A Filthy Hog!”

by Toby Nelson on March 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Here is my Academy 1/48 A-10C Warthog. This represents a jet from the 354th Fighter Squadron “Bulldogs” supporting Operation Inherent Resolve in June 2017. Photo references show that these jets were covered with gun soot from nonstop [...]

1/72 Academy F-4J Phantom US Navy

by Kristof Maes on February 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Not much I can say about this one. This box was sitting on a shelf in my garage for a while. It's a "no glue, no paint" model from Academy that I got from a friend (who got it from another friend). No one was really interested in [...]

Academy 1/144 B-52H

by Mark P Hartig on February 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I'd say another teeny gem by Academy but it ain't so teeny. It's still a gem tho, with outstanding fit and surprising detail given its scale...they even give you canopy masks in the kit. Decals are tiny and numerous but they are easy to [...]

B-17 F Academy 1/72 Operation Frantic-1 1944.

by capt. R on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

(link) Back to the past again... Academy B-17 F model from 1994. Despite the passage of time, it is still quite good, although outclassed by models from, for example, Airfix. However, the pleasure of an older model is enormous, especially [...]

Academy 1/72 F4U-1a New Zealand

by Greg Kittinger on February 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I had decided to join the Jim Sullivan group build with a Corsair, and then saw a couple of other iModelers post builds of this aircraft assembled from the remains of two damaged aircraft that had worn different paint schemes. I found a [...]

Boeing B-38 Whiffer Conversion in 1/72 Scale

by Jeff Groves on February 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a “What If” conversion of the Academy B-17 kit into what the B-38 project might have evolved into had it gone into production. I’m not sure what it would be called, I have been thinking of it as the “Frankenfortress” but [...]

Desert Liberators: 1/48th and 1/72nd scale B-24D compared

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Monogram's Liberator was built as a restoration challenge of a bargain kit that missed most of the transparent parts and others. In particular interest was forming the nose glass section. I borrowed from a friend the transparent tree [...]

Academy 1/48 A-10C

by Mark P Hartig on January 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The most trouble free aircraft model I've ever put together, I can't sing praise enough. The only AM are the seabelts, and I tossed in a few bombs I had lying about spare. Painted in Tammy Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey with a black Flory's [...]
