Frog model kits

1/72 Me-410 Hornisse, Frog F178

One of those planes that looked like a winner and didn’t quite pan out that way, I always considered the Me-410 looked like a mean machine. It did do considerable damage once the Me-210/410 design was finalized, but the history books do [...]

Detailing Special Hobby Fairey Barracuda 1/48 kit

Special Hobby's Barracuda is an injection short run kit that is a challenge to build. The kit attracted my attention following a complete scratch-built wing fold done on Frog's 1/72 kit. The unique wing fold mechanism adds a lot of [...]

An Inauspicious InauguralFrog Typhoon IB

I built this kit many years ago when I resumed building after my growing hiatus. It is the Frog kit number 231. While I have not measured the length and wingspan for accuracy the overall shape seems good. The spinner seems a little bulbous [...]

Hellcat F6F-5 1/48 Hobbyboss

A few years ago I was at a local club day admiring the work done by my fellow modelers and mooching through the boxes under the tables of models for sale (always the best bit of the day for me) when I came across the Hobbyboss Hellcat, I [...]

Two Old 1/72 Model Kits of the Grumman Wildcats (Revell and Frog)

A couple of months ago I started work on these two kits, Revell's and Frog's F4F-4 Wildcats. I wanted to build them together like the way I did with my Bearcats back in March and enjoy the whole process. My original game plan was to build [...]

Maquette 1/72 Boeing C-75

The Boeing C-75 was a modified Boeing 307 long-range transport aircraft, introduced to military service in February 1942 and used by the USAAF's Air Transport Command until July 1944. The famous 307 Stratoliner, from which the C-75 [...]
