Review: Dora Wings 1/47 P-47C-2 Thunderbolt

by Tom Cleaver on October 18, 2024 · in Reviews · 20 ≡

The sky over the English Channel on July 28, 1943 was partly cloudy, an early indicator that the past week of clear weather over northwestern Europe was coming to an end. Fifteen miles west of the Dutch coast, the 40 P-47 Thunderbolts of [...]

Dora Wings 1/72 Fairey Delta FD.2

by Alistair Gauld on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hi there , This was a build going on in the background and I thought I'd just stick it up to give my thoughts on it. My previous experience with Dora Wings was their 1/72 Lysander which was challenging to say the least. The fit was not [...]

P-47C

by Chas Bunch on June 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Here’s my latest build from Dora Wings, the P-47C in 1:48. It’s OOB except for Eduard belts and harness and stainless micro tubing gun barrels. I finished it with the last of my Model Master OD and used the markings of Hub Zemke’s [...]

Curtiss CW-22B

by Chas Bunch on March 3, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Here's my CW-22B from Dora Wings in 1:48. It was a fairly easy build, it just needed a little thinning of the cockpit tub at the rear for a good fit. I used a section of an old bomb to make a spacer between the engine and firewall, as I [...]

P-47B

by Chas Bunch on March 3, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Here's my early P-47B from Dora Wings in 1:48 I finished awhile back and just got around to taking some photos. This is one of their better kits in my opinion, everything fit well except the top and bottom wings at the wing root. The [...]

by Alfred van Paaschen on February 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Hi all, as far as I can see this is the first post of a Percival Proctor on iModeler. I have to admit that I’ve never heard of this aircraft myself before, but in my quest for 1/48 scale aircraft that served in the Royal Netherlands Air [...]

Republic P-43 Lancer. Dora Wings 1/48

by Russ King on January 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

New Year, New Build My first go at a Dora Wings kit. It has it's pros and cons. Cons: Excessive sprue attachments and flash. Lots of test fitting. Had to grind down a few parts to get proper fit. Instructions were not great to say the [...]

Curtiss CW-21B

by Chas Bunch on January 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Here's my latest Dora Wings build, the CW-21B in 1:48. The CW 21 was an effort by Curtiss pre-war to provide a lightweight interceptor based on their earlier CW-19 trainer with a high rate of climb and decent top speed. It lacked armor [...]

Review: Dora Wings 1/48 Republic P-47B Thunderbolt

by Tom Cleaver on October 20, 2023 · in Reviews · 32 ≡

Originally designed to meet an Air Corps specification for a high-altitude point-defense interceptor, forced to become a long-range escort fighter for lack of an alternative, then finding its metier as a low-altitude ground attack [...]

On the wings of a hot desert wind: Caudron C.632 Simoun F-ANXA

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 30, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

If you take a look at aviation in the 1920s and 1930s, you soon come across a circumstance that must have been characteristic of this time: the constant struggle for more performance, prestige and, ultimately, sales figures materialised in [...]
