ESCI model kits

1/48 Mirage F1AZ

Here's a project I finished a while ago, a 1/48 Mirage F1AZ of the South African Air Force depicted as during the 1980's. The kit used was the old Esci kit from 1984 which I guess is a vintage kit by now. Lots of after market stuff used, [...]

Italeri 1/72 F-104G Starfighter

The origins of the “G” version of the Starfighter can be traced back in 1957, when the German Air Staff issued a Paper asking for a single aircraft to fulfill its fighter, fighter-bomber and reconnaissance mission requirements. Towards [...]

Stablemates, F-4J 1/72 VF-103, VF-11

Way back when there was more variety of aircraft in a Carrier Air Wing, i.e. two F-4, two A-7 one A-6, one E-2 one S-3 and an SH-3 or H-3 squadron. When I was in VF-31 we had with us VF-103 later in VF-74 there was VF-11. both of which I [...]

Revell (Esci) 1/72 F-5A Freedom Fighter

Hellenic Air Force (HAF), started receiving the F-5A in 1965. In the same year, the 341st Day Interception Squadron (MAH) was declared operational, followed by the 343 MAH. 55 aircraft were initially received, followed by 17 RF-5As in [...]

Italeri/ESCI 1/48 Finger IIIA

Having completed an IDF Nesher model from a limited edition Wingman kit I was left with a large decal sheet depicting South American Finger and Dagger variants. I was curious whether the very basic ESCI comparable kit would look if [...]

1/48 FJ-3 Fury.

This is the early 1980s Esci kit in its naval guise. Esci marketed the basic kit as both an FJ-2/3 and an F-86E with a few different parts in each release. I saw George Blair started the F-86E version of this kit over on the Sabre [...]

1/48 SAAF Impala MK II

Here's my build of the ESCI 1/48 Aermacchi MB-326K Impala in early SAAF colors. Really nice kit with fine recessed panel lines and a good fit. The only after market added is the Neomega resin cockpit and Wolfpack MB MK6 ejection seat as [...]

Esci 1/72 Tu-22M

The origins of the Tu-22M can be traced back in 1962, when its ancestor, the Tu-22 “Blinder”, by that time introduced in service, was found to be a handful to fly and, especially, to land, let alone it had serviceability issues. [...]

33 - 1/24 ESCI Ferrari SWB Rally

Roooooar - what a stunning classic this on is and man with rally decals - holy moly what a gorgeous car, I loved this build. So when I had the opportunity for this beast I jumped at it - Painted and added a bit of extras to the engine, but [...]

F-16 Mania!ESCI 1/12th Fighting Falcon Cockpit

After my Tamiya 1/48 F-16 build earlier this year, I came across this 1/12th cockpit kit on E-Bay by ESCI. Which, I've seen before, and I figured it would complement the 1/48th build on the shelf. And given my admiration for this [...]
