Matchbox 1/72 Avro Lancaster

by Bob Torres on August 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This is my Matchbox Lancaster that was built in 1985, originally I started on the Airfix kit that was released in the late 70's but I had some pretty bad warpage on both wings. Usually I can fix warpage issues but both wings were twisted [...]

Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer (old mold)

by Andrew Alexander on July 31, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here’s my build of the 1/72 Airfix Buccaneer S.2B (1989 mold). It’s an old kit, and I decided to build it side-by-side with the new Airfix Buccaneer. Since there is little detail in the wheel wells and cockpit, I decided to build it as [...]

Heller’s 1/72 PZL P.11c

by Bob Torres on July 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is a nice model kit, Heller released this at 1977. It is a small model with fine raised lines and pretty nice fine details all over. I built up the cockpit area a little by adding a cage and small items on the side walls. The wing [...]

Vintage Lindberg 1/72 F6F Hellcat (with just a few tweaks)

by David Garcia on July 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

One thing about the Lindberg kits I have built is that the parts fit properly. All I did to this kit is open up the closed engine face and add a spare engine, some guns and an antenna. Everything else is out of the box. I did use the [...]

Classic Revell 1/32 P-38J Rescue Kit

by David Garcia on July 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This kit was going into the dumpster and the hobby shop owner asked if I wanted it. It had been started with tube glue. The cockpit and nose guns were firmly glued in place. Yet I took this and another 1/32 kit home. Having never built [...]

Classic Airfix Typhoon (1959) Tweaked Just a bit

by David Garcia on July 22, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

On this kit I used a replacement Falcon vacu-form canopy, a prop and wheels from the Academy kit. Paint by Tamiya. Even thought it is over 60 years old it does scale well on a Bentley plan. This was a simple and fun build.

Classis Kit: Original Airfix 1/72 Defiant (1960)

by David Garcia on July 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

When I looked at the kit I knew there was something wrong with the nose outline so I sat aside. Later at a show in a sale box there a resin nose by DB Productions for the Airfix Defiant for $1. I remembered my Airfix kit so I bought and [...]

Classic Kit: Hasegawa 1/72 B-17G

by David Garcia on July 18, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here's the vintage Hasegawa that is still being sold today. I finished it in April and on this one I photographed it outside using a Nikon film camera. An Eduard mask made it so much easier in painting the model. I did correct the [...]

Classic Kit: Revell 1/40 Skyraider (1958)

by David Garcia on July 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

This is another one of my out of the box builds. It is the 1/40 Skyraider. Note, It is not a box scale kit. Revell issued other models in this scale including all their armor kits from the era. I tried to post the building process but [...]

Classic Kit: Revell 1/72 B-26 H-111 (1966)

by David Garcia on July 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

The box art on Revell's early 1960s kits was top notch including this one. Most of us kids learned of Flak Bait and it's exploits from the small blurb on the instruction sheet. On this kit I did some minor updates since I had extra [...]
