by Anthony Ricco on April 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This was a special build of one of my favourite plane's, bought for me by a friend as a surprise. The scheme I decided on was of course the Italian one - and its a plane with a story, the only Italian aircraft that was shot down it the [...]

Minicraft/Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler – Desert Storm

by Greg Kittinger on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is a rather old kit, but did include engraved panel lines. My experience with Hasegawa engraved lines is they can be a bit too shallow to hold panel line wash well, so I deepened them a bit. The intakes are just solid blanks, as the [...]

Operation Granby…1/48 Sepecat Jaguar GR.1A, No. 54 Sqn RAF

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on October 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

So, my dad has finally finished his mojo killer. The Kitty Hawk kit looks good in the box but is no beginners kit. Many parts don´t fit good, pins don´t fit in their holes...so if you build it, dryfit everything. Well, it didn´t turn [...]

Next up is this Italeri re-pop of Testor's old F-117A. This kit's boxing provided decals for a Ghost Grey version of the Nighthawk that has been often seen about in the jet's official post-retirement age. I initially thought that it would [...]

by Louis Gardner on January 17, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hard to believe this event happened 30 years ago... but it did. Time sure flies, and it flies by even quicker the older you get. 30 years ago today I was in the US Army recruiter’s office filling out paperwork trying to get back [...]

Academy 1/72 OV-10D Bronco – Desert Storm

by Greg Kittinger on December 31, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is my entry for the Desert Storm group build. I added details to the cockpit - some bulkhead at the rear deck, boxes, cables, ejection handles, etc, knowing it would be pretty visible under that expansive canopy. Nothing extra to the [...]

Here is my Iraqi Army T-72M completed as part of the Gulf War/Desert Storm Group Build. I corrected the 1/35 Tamiya kit with a more accurately-shaped SBS resin turret, including supplied photo-etched details for the searchlights and [...]
