by Marcello Rosa on June 9, 2025 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Dear friends Here I share pictures of my latest completed model, the Airfix 1/48 Sea Vixen FAW.2, pretty much "out of the box". According to Airfix this represents a plane from No.899 Naval Air Squadron, flown from HMS Eagle in [...]

Hellcat II

by IAN JACKSON on October 3, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Built this at the same time as the Hurricane I posted here a few weeks ago but only got around to finishing it this morning. Fairly straightforward build, could have done without the separate fin-tip antenna post which was instantly [...]

Deadly Stringbag...1/48 Fairey Swordfish Mk.II, 836 NAS, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on February 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

My dad hasn´t done a British aircraft, at least with British markings, for a while. Now it was about time. Great Tamiya kit, also used Tamiya´s PE set for the rigging. Not a bad idea, worth a try and didn´t turn out too bad. But for the [...]

Eduard 1/48 Grumman Hellcat 1 (F6F-3)

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is a great kit that I thoroughly enjoyed building and am reasonably happy with the results. Anything else is superfluous. It's one half of a twin boxing-still have a Hellcat 2 (F6F-5), Pacific Theatre.

MPM 1/48 Fairey Fulmar

by Spiros Pendedekas on November 29, 2022 · in Aviation · 44 ≡

Emerging from the Fairey Battle project, the Fulmar was submitted as a response to a prewar British specification, calling for a two-crew fighter capable of observation and fleet defense operations. As the aircraft was intended to [...]

Obviously pregnant, but a fighting lady! Supermarine Attacker FB.2

by Roland Sachsenhofer on August 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

There are aircraft that, once seen, are remembered. This does not require the expert eye of an aeronautical engineer, nor is it due to the fame of a long or spectacular operational history, nor is it due to a particularly aesthetically [...]

EDUARD (SH) Fairey fulmar 1/48

by Predrag Ivanovic on March 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Here is my latest work. Everything with this model went fine, almost till the end. Then, when i was removing masks, i revieled a broken canopy clear part. For a few days i didn't do anything, and then... I decided, it stays the way that [...]

Tamiya Corsair Mk.II, 1/48. The Fleet Air Arm.

by Harvey R. on March 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

Greetings folks, After getting more into the hobby and posting on a few other places, I've decided to make an account here and post my most recent builds. Critique is always important, and keeping confined to one forum or social media can [...]

Black Cat

by Marcus Vinicius Teixeira Borges on September 9, 2020 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

The FAA used quite a number of Hellcats,and one of those was completely painted in glossy black! Though there are a number of controversies,I decided that such a camo shouldn´t be passed by... The kit used is the 1/48 Eduard Weekend [...]

Sea Harrier FA.2, Airfix 1/72

by Andrew Alexander on July 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Introduction: One of the advantages of building in 72nd scale is that kits are small and cheap enough to allow me to build aircraft that I’m “kind of” interested in (basically every airplane ever made). As an example, I picked up [...]
