revie 1/48 f-14 d

by jeff stewart on February 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Practice, practice, practice! This kit was used as practice for air brushing. the fit was terrible! The decals for low vis versions were 3 different shades! The only good thing about it was the decently detailed landing gear. Considered [...]

Academy 1/72 P-51B…

by Magnus Fridsell on January 25, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

...this one doesn't really help the USAF against the Messerschmitts but it is still a Mustang 🙂 ! Academy kit with Cutting Edge decals. Metal finish was Vallejo (!), a bit fragile but still the best I have managed yet! I'll see if I can [...]

Stars of the 1969 movie “Battle of Britain” seen together for the first time! (1/48 collection)

by Eric aka The Yankymodeler on January 23, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Seen last fall at a model contest just outside of Baltimore, as the crowds admired the many impressive models attending the event, a group of aging movie stars was seen gathered together on the collections category table. An enterprising [...]

Helldivers! SB2C-1, two SB2C-4s, SB2C-5

by Tom Cleaver on January 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

All from the Monogram kit. The SB2C-1 is the Accurate Miniatures release, corrected to be an SB2C-1 (what they provided was kinda/sorta an SB2C-1C), with 4 50s in the wings, the rear glass in the pilot's canopy, correct 3 blade prop, [...]

Roden 1/32 Nieuport 24

by Tom Cleaver on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The Roden Nieuport 24 kit done as the airplane flown by Charles Nungesser. This airplane is hard to track down because the superstitious Nungesser kept the rudder (with serial "1895") from his Nie. 17 and put it on all his [...]

Falcon 1/48 Spitfire F.R.XVIII – vacuform

by Tom Cleaver on December 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This was done about 2004. The Falcon 1/48 F.R. XVIII vacuform. Still the most accurate Spitfire XIV/XVIII in 1/48. I used a resin cockpit (something I had, nobody can really tell the detail differences between Spitfire cockpits in 1/48 [...]

1/72 Academy F/A-18C

by Geoffrey Abreu on December 8, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the Academy 1/72 F/A-18C. I built this OOB with the exception of the ejection seat which I believe was from Quickboost. I painted it with Model Master enamels and the decals are from MAW and were excellent. A very nice kit to build [...]

MiG-21

by Seth Marshall on November 29, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Hi all! This is my most recent build, an Academy MiG-21. It was a pretty straightforward build, with no real problems that I can think of.

F2G Super Corsair Racer Kit Bash

by George Tufnail on November 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This was one of my first forays into AMS and kit bashing. I started with a Special Hobbies 1/48 F2G Racer, and added the wings from an Academy 1/48 F4U-1A, because I wanted the flaps down, and I wasn't about to chop up a Tamiya kit. I do [...]
