Hi Folks: just finished the 1/72 Dragon F6F-3. I wanted to do the wing-fold for some time. The carrier deck is from Verlinden. However, at least with this kit, or my patience, I found the many parts fiddilly and the kit directions were not [...]

by Martin Dytrych on May 13, 2018 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

by paul teixeira on February 18, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Few weeks ago I watched an old, favorite movie. Bridges of Toko-Ri. Just loved those Navy F9F-3 Panthers. So I had to build one and realized I still had one in my stash. Upon opening the box of my HobbyCraft/Trumpeter kit I also discovered [...]

FM-1 Wildcat in 1/48

by Tony Prince on June 23, 2017 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is the Hobby Boss kit which I picked from the stash as something easy... You've probably done that: Parts fit was excellent, detail sharp & restrained but the undercarriage; that's another story; very fiddly & the prop needed [...]
