Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. Ira Kepford's Jolly Roger.

by Harvey R. on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

I've always loved the Corsair, particularly the mid-war four-tone scheme, and last year I built my first one which was Tom Blackburn's 'Big Hog'. A year later I wanted to do a new Corsair because I felt my skills had improved and I wanted [...]

Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. The Big Hog.

by Harvey R. on June 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I thought I'd finally get around to posting this Corsair I built last year, making it so all my Corsairs are uploaded here in one form or another. This model in particular taught me a lot and I am planning on basically remaking it (but as [...]

Academy 1/700 USS Enterprise aka The Grey Ghost aka The Big E

by Dan Lee on June 4, 2021 · in Ships · 13 ≡

Today is the 79th anniversary of the climatic day of the Battle of Midway so here is a review of a build in honor of today. FYI, I did publish the original photo as part of my collection of PTO models but did not submit the entire review [...]

Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, 1/48. A Folded Bird.

by Harvey R. on May 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Afternoon folks, here's another older build and another Corsair, this time it was my first attempt at trying to handle the ANA 623 Sea Blue. This Corsair was built alongside my previous post, the Birdcage F4U-1, and was started early [...]

Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair, 1/48.

by Harvey R. on April 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

The first of many Tamiya Corsairs I did was this one, built alongside an F4U-1D. I started this back in April last year and completed in just 3 weeks, which is a record for me but that is largely due to having plenty of time off due to [...]

Tamiya A6M5, 1/48. The Eternal Zero.

by Harvey R. on April 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

The most iconic Japanese aircraft is easily the Mitsubishi A6M, and Tamiya's most recent tooling from 2008 absolutely does justice to such a plane. Before going any further this kit can be summed up as 'absolutely recommended', or 'one of [...]

Hasegawa N1K2-J ‘George’, 1/48. The Violet Lightning.

by Harvey R. on March 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Seeing certain aircraft sometimes brings back a memory, for me the N1K2 reminds me of playing Combat Flight Simulator 2 when I was 8 years old, I always thought of it as the 'fat Japanese plane with the big guns and the cool cockpit'. [...]

Tamiya P-38G Lightning, 1/48. 'Miss Virginia'

by Harvey R. on March 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

My first of the Operation Vengeance trio in 1/48 was this Lightning, an amazing kit and probably the best engineered model I've made to date. There isn't a lot of negatives to say about this kit, in fact whilst I completed this model in [...]

Tamiya Corsair Mk.II, 1/48. The Fleet Air Arm.

by Harvey R. on March 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

Greetings folks, After getting more into the hobby and posting on a few other places, I've decided to make an account here and post my most recent builds. Critique is always important, and keeping confined to one forum or social media can [...]

Airfix Boeing B-17E Conversion “THE BLUE GOOSE” in 1/72 Scale

by Jeff Groves on October 15, 2020 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

B-17E Flying Fortress serial number 41-2616 THE BLUE GOOSE is somewhat enigmatic due to there being no known photographs of her. What is known is that the USAAF requisitioned her from an RAF order and that she was given a unique paint job [...]
