Revell 1:48 F-84E

by Pip Moss on February 17, 2022 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

I finally got around to this kit, which has been on my to-do list for quite a long time. It's pretty much OOB, but I did use a resin seat from Quickboost. It's probably not quite as pleasant a build as the Tamiya F-84G, and there are some [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2 Panther

by Marcello Rosa on January 4, 2022 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

For my first contribution to iModeller, I attach pictures of my Panther, which was one of the first 1/48 models I built. I found this kit very easy to assemble, with almost no fit issues. What small issues there were, could be easily [...]

1/48 ICM B-26C "Invader"

by Wes Pennest on December 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

A superb kit. No flaws whatsoever. A pure joy to build. What, you're looking for a build review? It's perfect. There's nothing out of place. I'd build a fleet of these without hesitation. Read Tom Cleaver's reviews for the nitty gritty, [...]

Korean War Group Build – North American LT-6G Texan FAC

by Jaime Carreon on October 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This one started as a decal sheet. Friend Tom Bebout had some decals left over from his T-6 build and he kindly sent me the markings for a second airplane, an FAC bird named "Night Train". I didn't have the model yet, so I [...]

Forgotten War Group Build – Special Hobby 1/48 Fairey Firefly F.R.1, HMS Triumph, 1950

by Tom Cleaver on December 11, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

You can see the WIP for this model at the Forgotten War Group Build. History: The Fleet Air Arm was the only carrier air arm to carry on with the development and operation of the two-seat carrier fighter past the early 1930s. Both the [...]

Forgotten War Group Build – night-fighting F4U-5N Corsairs

by Tom Cleaver on December 7, 2020 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The F4U-5 was the ultimate Navy development of the Corsair series as a fleet defense fighter. The first prototype took to the skies December 21, 1945. It differed from previous Corsairs by having an even longer nose, a raised cockpit, and [...]

Monogram F4U-5

by Scott Nelson on September 12, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Stopped in Hobby Lobby after visiting with my dad one day and decided to pick up this old Monogram Corsair as a bit of a nostalgia build. The age of the molds (1963 © on the belly) showed as I had to spend a lot of time cleaning up flash [...]

Cleaver’s Inspiration

by Scott Nelson on August 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

While working on the two armor kits I recently posted I listened to the Audible version of Tom Cleaver’s Holding the Line, a Book about the naval air war in Korea. The book was very enjoyable and inspired me to build a Korean War [...]

Korea – The Forgotten War GB. North American F-82G Twin Mustang

by Jaime Carreon on July 6, 2020 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The F-82 was originally intended as a long range escort fighter, intended to shepherd B-29 raids to Japan beyond the range of the P-51 Mustang or P-38 Lightning. That role went out the window with the end of WWII, and those F-82's that [...]

Korea – The Forgotten War GB. Brubaker’s ride, McDonnell F2H Banshee

by Jaime Carreon on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Talk about timing. This one got finished this morning, the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean Conflict. Louis sent the invite to join the group this morning as well, so I guess I'll kick off the forgotten war group build with [...]
