P47D: "No Guts... No Glory..."
Hi All,
Most likely my last post for 2021. Yup, another P-47. This time the 1/48, P47D from Hobby Boss depicting 84th FS/78th FG, “No Guts...No Glory”, piloted by Maj. Ben Mayo.
The Hobby Boss, 1/48, P-47D:
Built OOB, minus [...]
P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback - HobbyBoss 80283 - 1/72
And another HobbyBoss 'Easy Assembly' kit with some ordnance borrowed from a Tamiya kit with some left over decals from Eagle Cals EC#56.
THe decals allowed me to display Col. Frank Klibbe's P-47 D-15-RE Little Chief No. 1A which had [...]
1/35 Hobby Boss Dana 152mm Self-Propelled Howitzer
1/35 Hobby Boss Dana 152mm Self-Propelled Howitzer
Built with complete ‘Big Ed’ Photo Etch. PE panel alignment challenging. Final paint was a grainy
disaster… as last resort, I gently rubbed round Q Tip starting in center of [...]
P-39Q Airacobra 'Snooks 2nd' - HobbyBoss 80240 - 1/72
I tried another HobbyBoss 'Easy Assembly' kit and it was pretty easy and pretty quick, but has a few detail errors and/or missing items. It does provide me with an adequate Airacorbra for my case. This was good practice for the Academy [...]
1/48 Hobby Boss Me-262
Good kit, the variant Me 262 A-1a/U1, a bit fantasy from what I read. First time I attach some ordnance on a scale model plane, I liked the idea of rockets on the first jet fighter, even that maybe the build is wrong. The good news is that [...]
Saab J 29B Tunnan S/N 29475 - UN Squ. No. 22 (Sweden) - Congo - 1961/1963
Dear Imodelers,
Please find my latest model, a Saab Tunnan from Hobby Boss.
Initially, I was thinking of making a classic aluminum version. But Hobby Boss also offers a camouflaged version, to say the least, new, with UN roundels (squares [...]
Bf-109E-4/7 Trop - HobbyBoss 80261 - 1/72
As I haven't had too much time to build any kits lately, I was loosely following the Desert Air War Group and thought I'd add a quick little build using the Hobby Boss Bf 109E-4 Trop in 1/72. I did not have the time to update the progress [...]
1/48 Hobbyboss F-105G Thunderchief (80333)
This kit is overall very nice but there are a lot of very fiddly bits that test the patience. In particular, the flap assembly and the exhaust assembly are a bit challenging since there are so many parts with little or not mating [...]
