Continuing the FAA theme: Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.B.2

One of the oddest-looking jets of all, the Supermarine Attacker F.B.2. There's only one other "conventional gear" Jet, the Yak-15. The airplane has been done in 1/48 by a very good Falcon vacuform in around 1989, a Classic [...]

The mythical beast: 1/48 Wyverns from Classic Airframes and Trumpeter

The Wyvern has to be one of the strangest airplanes to ever grace a carrier deck. The first turboprop, its ten years of gestation and failure as the FAA's strike force paid off for the rest of aviation by solving the problems of [...]

SDB-3 Dauntless ‘Battle of Midway’

I was reading Tom's terrific article from November 11 (here in Britain, Armistice Day, first designated to honour the dead of the Great War), and another great battle of the Pacific theatre in WW2 came to mind - Midway. It's always been [...]

Good idea, Tom, for the USMC’s birthday…

what better representative than the defenders of Wake Island. An epic defense if there ever was one, Wake's Marines were the only ones to successfully repel an island invasion. A big part was the fierce attacks of the island's few F4F [...]

1/32nd Trumpeter F4U-1D Conversion To F4U-1A

Trumpeter BMP 1

Couple week's work. Nearing completion now. Still detail work and some weathering with pigments and the like to go. Really nice build.

Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 Lightnings

Mark's really nice Trumpeter P-38 reminded me I hadn't shown any of my Trumpeter P-38s. They are: P-38L OOB other than seat belts and Eagle Edition decals, to do Tommy McGuire's last "Pudgy." P-38H done as McGuire's first [...]

P-38L Lightning Trumpeter 1/32

Hi Guys, Here are a few photos of a recent BMF project, with Kitsworld aftermarket decals. I also used the Eduard Big Ed etch set, which added a higher degree of complexity to the build. Thanks for looking.

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a by Trumpeter in 1/32 scale

This model represents the Me 262 A-1a flown by Major Walter Novotny, based in Achmer, in November 1944. The kit went together quite easily & some light rubbing down after the application of Tippex in various places minimised the effect [...]
