1:48 Kinetic AV-8A USMC Harrier

by Matt Minnichsoffer on February 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Back in the 80s I thought the Harrier was the coolest jet out there. I remember building the Revell 1:32 kit and had it hanging in the basement until I moved out. Fast forward 35 years and I wanted to build another one. For years I've been [...]

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on September 30, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hellcat double completed, after the F6F-3 now a -5N. Eduard Weekend Edition released in 2016. Sadly the fuselage code F(N)4 is oversized, also the fuselage number 21 and the cowl number 88 of the second included scheme are. Funny thing is [...]

Academy/Accurate Miniatures USMC SBD-1

by Greg Fabian on September 2, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

This is my interpretation of the Douglas SBD-1 Dauntless by Accurate Miniatures/Academy. I really liked this kit a lot, mainly because it fit together well and had an almost extreme amount of interior detail (a lot of which I can't see, [...]

Build update on 6 1/32 scale AV8BII Harriers commission build for the USMC Blacksheeps

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on July 16, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Whew! This is a hell of a project, one that can drive you nuts, especially if the kit is sub par. The way I am tackling it is by doing each section completely for one aircraft and I figure out any issues during assembly of that step. Once [...]

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on June 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi All, A quick update on the 6 Harriers that I am building for the USMC Blacksheep Squadron for the 80th Anniversary. I am now onto the engines, I completed one as a test so the other 5 would go smoothly and this approach seems to work [...]

Hi all! Well I have completed 5 of the 6 Harrier AV8B II Plus cockpits for phase one, kit 6 just arrived so I have to go backwards and do this phase all over again so they are all on the same step. Build has been tedious, having to do [...]

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on May 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Hello again! Here is my latest build for a former F-4 pilot and member of USMC VMFAT-101. This kit is the Tamiya 1/32 scale kit. From what I can tell this is an older kit, but still a fairly straight forward. Added a real aluminum exhaust [...]
