1/48th Boeing B-52H Stratofortress - update

by Thomas Probert on February 14, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Evening all, It's been a while since I posted and update on this project. Since last time I've scratch-built the main flap structure. More often than not B-52s are parked flaps-down so I thought I'd do the same with mine. These were made [...]

This is the ID vacuform kit 1/32 nd scale. This as built over a 5 year period, and I really ran into an issue with the nacelles. I had tried to strengthen them with resin and they severely distorted. It took me about a year to work up [...]

Westland Wyvern

Curtiss Soc Seagull – vac u form project – 1/48 Wings

by Franco Damiani on January 15, 2019 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I love U.S. Navy planes and specially those of the yellow wings era, but the Curtiss Soc Seagull is amazing. Unfortunately biplanes of this period are very difficult to be found in 1/48 scale. The Curtiss Seagull is, from my view point, [...]

Welsh Models 1/72 Boeing 737-7DT (BBJ) – 34SQN, RAAF

by Ray Seppala on January 7, 2018 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Welsh Models are known for the vacform/resin kits. This kit was a challenge in some areas, in particular getting a solid join between the vacform fuselage and resin wing roots. The other issue I had was the amount of nose weight required [...]

Finished this model at the end of last year 2016, took me at least one and half years to build, lots of scratch building including redoing the vertical tail, altering the fuselage where the wings are located as the step underneath on the [...]

Oh the joy of building a model – or welcome to the dark side! You all know the story of how bad vacu kits or other short run kits can be but today I can tell you, I have seen the worst nightmare you can imagine, that is if it comes to [...]
