by Eric Berg on September 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

For the recent F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury group build, I chose markings of one of the top U.S. aces of the Korean War: Maj. James Jabara. I used Warbird Decals 48027 Korean War F-86s, Part 2 and 48027 F-86F Common. You need both sheets. Major [...]

P-51D souvenir build

by Ben Walmsley on April 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

A few years ago I was fortunate enough to have a flight in a P-51 over Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. Needless to say, it was an awesome experience. We spent half an hour doing aerobatics and mock strafing runs on yachts in the bay. [...]

Blowtorches at Sea: By 1944, the U.S. Navy was aware of what the USAAF and RAF were doing with the P-80 and Meteor projects, respectively, and knew as much as anyone did what was expected soon from the Germans. Having come up on the short [...]

Another save from the Garage of Doom

by Tom Cleaver on February 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Plucked from the Garage of Doom before I spent much of yesterday fighting the (small, thank goodness) leaks in the garage revealed by the Big Winter Storm that hit us. Revell's F-86D Sabre kit(s) allow a modeler to do the early and late [...]

Box Scale XB-70

by Scott Nelson on December 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I’ve done a few “nostalgia builds” this year and interestingly (to me anyway) most of them were kits that I wish I had made as a kid but I didn’t. This Lindberg box scale XB-70 sort of falls in that category. I wanted a companion [...]
