Classic Kit: Aurora 1/48 P-38 Restoration

by David Garcia on February 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is a labor of love. I wanted to see if I could build a broken relic into something presentable. I learned about the P-38 when I build this kit as a child and I would fly it around outside shooting down me109s and what have you. The [...]

Restoration Project, Avro Vulcan B1a

by Ian Foulkes on September 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Well, the danger of moving boxes etc in the man cave, you occasionally come across a project you had tucked away in a "safe place" and then forgotten about. This is the Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B2, converted back to a B1a. I used [...]

Very obviously not my work, but I felt it worthy of note. The link is below but the skinny is that an attempt to restore a priceless Spanish cultural treasure was botched. Professionals stepped in and saved the day, restoring the work to [...]

1/48 Strombecker X-1B Restoration

by Steve E on April 11, 2015 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

It's not quite finished, but thought I would post anyway. I got this model off ebay. It was an estate sale purchase. I paid way too much for it, but I like the old dogs and it is an original Strombecker kit. It arrived in pretty bad shape. [...]
