Lockheed HC-130N Hercules

by Ray Seppala on April 19, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the original tooling of the Airfix C-130 kit. I have built it as a USAF HC-130N CSAR aircraft or as the USAF puts it "the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory". To build the [...]

SR-71 & XB-35

by Jay Mitchell on February 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

A friend of mine was given two old kits , he asked me to build them for him. One was a 1/72 Revell SR-71 with a drone mounted on top... the other was an AMT/Ertl 1/72 XB-35 flying wing... The SR-71 was simple to build. If it had been [...]

Rivet City (Monogram) HU-16B

by Scott Nelson on February 1, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

One to add to my archive. I made this one some years ago. Festooned with rivets, I did my best to get a good fit between parts so I could avoid sanding them away. Tamiya spray can silver and Testors paints finished the job.

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 [...]

USAF C-47 Skytrain

by Jay Mitchell on November 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

This is a 1/72 MPC C-47... although the box describes it as a DC-3. This is originally an Airfix release kit and had a “Made in England” slip of paper in the bag with the parts . The fit of the parts was generally good, and there was [...]

Desktop BUFF/X-15

by Scott Nelson on March 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here’s a blast from the past from Atlantis, the B-52/X-15 combo kit. Originally produced by Revell, Scalemates says the mold goes back to 1954 for the B-52 and the 1:175 scale combo was first issued in 1961. I wish Atlantis reissuing [...]

Trainer: Northrop T-38C Talon II – Trumpeter 1/48

by Andrew H on August 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This post will be quick and dirty, just like this build. The kit itself is very simple, as is the airframe. It does have a nice petite coke-bottle shape that most can appreciate, and the model itself scream petite when you pick it up. It [...]
