Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk

Curtiss P40 Seriesnot completed

Hello. I would like to share a photo of the 85 Curtiss P40 done so far. Two shelves are already fully occupied. The complete list counts with 116 aircraft selected for this series. My father has already done the Tomahawks, E, L, F and [...]

1/48 FM F9F-8 Cougar converted to F9F-8P

I bought a 1/48 FM (Fonderie Miniature) Cougar years ago in my pursuit of building one of each of the Blue Angels display aircraft in 1/48. In time I learned that it was essentially a Monogram 1/48 Panther kit that had been modified [...]

1/32 Kittyhawk F-86D Sabre Dog

Finally finished after over a month of frustrating assembly and painting. This is the model I posted about a month ago in which I stated "was a total loss", but after taking a break I picked it up again and finished it. Many [...]

Smer 1/72 P-40k

This is SMER's P-40K, I started this build while still working on my first build last year (Revell P-40E) hoping to have a quick build but that did not happen. This kit fought me a bit but this was probably more me than the kit. The wing [...]

KittyHawk Super Etendard 1/48 . . . .

Hello All, This is the KittyHawk Super Etendard kit built completely OOB. Paints used are locally available acrylics. Masking was done using my Kiddoo's Play Dooh. Few inaccuracies if I am being nit picky, do check your references for the [...]

OV-10D Bronco in "VF-84 tribute" paint scheme

It took me about 8 months to finish this Bronco in my favorite navy camouflage. If you wonder why I made up this scheme - this is my last build for my friend and he did not want to get Bronco in desert or boring gray camouflage scheme. I [...]

1/48 Mauve P-40M/KittyHawk III

Latest off the bench is the old Mauve kit depicted as the mount that Pilot Officer Geoffrey Fisken flew with 14 Squadron on Guadalcanal in 1943. Added a seat plus some Ultracast wheels to spice her up a bit. A combination of Tamiya paints [...]

Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale P-40, “Kittyhawk III” (Longtail ‘K’), RNZAF

I think Hasegawa's line of P-40 kits are pretty much, the best of the type in this scale. They are loaded with fine detail and the fit is pretty good throughout, suffice to say, they are kits that have been very well engineered. They have [...]

1/48 F2H-2 Banshee

It must be Banshee Friday! Hot on the heels of Michael’s, here’s mine. I just finished it about an hour ago. This is the disappointing Kittyhawk kit saved by the Rieth Banshee resin correction set. I ran a build log in the aircraft [...]

On This Day…28th May.

Hugh Dundas, only 19 years old on May 28th, 1940 (Group Commander by age 23), experienced his first dogfight. His relaxed demeanour, ‘scruffy’ appearance, and attachment to his dog (below) did not endear him to the establishment, but [...]
