World War II Dive Bombers

by Robert Knaack on April 11, 2019 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

For several years I had a goal of building 1/48 scale models of all the Navy dive-bombers that saw action in WWII. I'd been fascinated with dive-bombing ever since I read Walter Lord's book "Incredible Victory", and saw the [...]

by Jason Vukovich on April 10, 2019 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Greetings! A kit I haven't seen built a whole lot is Tiger Model's 1/35th CB90 Combat Boat. Rumors and the internet have it that Tiger is coming out with a US Navy version but I am impatient and decided to convert their existing kit into [...]

Revell 1/48 F/A-18F Super Hornet

by Ramon R. Lomeli on January 29, 2019 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hello iModeler! Here is my Revell F/A-18F Super Hornet. Good from afar but far from good... but learned more from this build than I did from my recent Tamiya builds. Exhaust cans are resin Wolfpack cans, decals are CAM Pro VFA-41 and [...]

Academy F-14A 1:48 (1988 tool)

by Matthew Fletcher on October 28, 2018 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I must say I was always intimidated by builds of modern aircraft but this build changed my mind. The kit is from 1988 and does not stand up to the new Tamiya kit but I managed to have a lot of fun with it. Lots of fit issues and old decals [...]

F6F Hellcat – 1:32 Hasegawa

by Matt Minnichsoffer on October 27, 2018 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

First, let me say this—I originally wanted to title this post, “To Hell with this F6!” But, thought our web site benefactors wouldn’t appreciate it. However, my fellow builders, this kit was anything but fun. Maybe its because [...]

F14 TOMCAT 1:72 from Revell. It was a really good kit!

by paul teixeira on October 21, 2018 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Just finished the Trumpeter 1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat and did not even realize I had another model in the box! That's right a nice little bonus thrown in by Trumpeter. It's a nicely detailed, US Moto-tow Tractor. The Hellcat I just finished [...]
