A small shiny metallic beetle – and the only one of its kind! American Gyro AG-4 Crusader

by Roland Sachsenhofer on February 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

To the American Gyro AG-4 Crusader Two tail units terminated by disc-shaped rudders and aerodynamically cleanly blended into the fairings of two in-line engines towards the nose, with a teardrop-shaped nacelle for the crew in their centre: [...]

FROG 1/72 Me-262A finished as an Avia S-92 Turbina.

by Bob Torres on November 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

FROG, ME-262A, Kit # F248, (1972) On my return back to this hobby, I've been wanting to build a big collection of FROG kits. Since April last year I have built five and restored one. This Me-262 caught my eyes the other day and decided to [...]

The old KP 1/72 Avia CS-199 kit no. 11

by Bob Torres on October 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is the older release of KP's Avia CS-199 (1/72) that was released in 1978. Not exactly a kit that falls together and a bit more rougher than my recent KP Arado Ar-96 build. I went on to do some upgrades on fit issues, thinning down on [...]

Heller’s 1/72 Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199 “Sakeen”

by Bob Torres on October 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is Heller's Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199. An enjoyable build, I took a kit that I was not too thrilled with as a 109K but had some fun making it to something that I like. This was Heller's first attempt (1976, Kit No. 074) to [...]

Avia CS-199

by Scott Nelson on June 13, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Following my friend Dennis’s lead, I’m working on shrinking the stash with monthly “no-frills” builds: out of the box, no major mods, minimal weathering, etc. My May “NFB” is this KoPro 1/72 Avia CS-199. Not a lot of detail in [...]

Czech Another Off My List

by Scott Nelson on October 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

One year when I was a kid my parents bought me Aircraft in Profile vol. 7 as a Christmas present. I always looked through these books with glee and fascination when we went to the bookstore. They were too expensive at the time so I was [...]

The Israeli knife, Avia S-199 “Sakeen”

by Bhandez Models on September 9, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Welcome everyone! My most recent job was this 1:32 scale Revell Me-109G-6 model and I purchased the conversion kit of the Czech AML (no.32006). The model was sprayed with Gunze paints and the colors were mixed by myself. History: The S-199 [...]

Avia B.534 Series 1 – Eduard Weekend 1:72

by Peter Ibes on May 8, 2019 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

A kit that I recently finished for a review in SAMI, the 1:72 Avia B.534 Series 1, from the Eduard Weekend kit. A joy to build and absolutely recommended, even if it didn't come with any resin or PE goodies. Peter PS: I did need a bit [...]

KP Avia B.35 (1/72)

by Phil Steele on March 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Scott's article inspired me to pull this out of the case, do some repairs on the antenna mast, touch up the panel lines, and do a shoot. I built this four years ago and wasn't terribly disappointed with the results. The decals were good [...]

Avia B. 35

by Scott Nelson on March 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Here’s my 1/72 KP Models Avia B.35. It’s a very basic kit with soft exterior detail and a canopy that makes the generic detail in the cockpit very difficult to see. Nevertheless, I enjoyed making this unusual addition to my [...]
