Classic Kit: Airfix Do217 (1960)

by David Garcia on July 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

This is the Airfix Do217 first issued in 1960. It came packaged in a small box and molded in light blue plastic. The model is built as the instructions indicated without alterations and painted with the paints recommended by Airfix. The [...]

Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Me-262 Kit # 110 (1960)

by David Garcia on July 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

When Airfix issued their new Me-262 kit I decided to build the original kit for a fun comparison. The original early kit is built out of the box and I used the second set of markings from the new kit. As most early kits from that era the [...]

Classic Kit: Monogram 1/48 P-38 First Edition (1964)

by David Garcia on July 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

Here is Monogram's P-38 built out of the box. This is an original first edition, kit PA97-200, and as the code shows it was priced at $2.00. Later boxings of the kit showed yellow cowlings, but on this one I painted it as the [...]

Vintage Monogram 1/72 F-105B (1958)

by David Garcia on July 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

First issued in the late 1950s Monograms F-105B included moving parts and a pilot that could be ejected. This is a later version without those features and showed an F-105B in Vietnam. The first time I built this kit was in 1973 and [...]

Classic Kit: Hawk 1/48 Lockheed T-33

by David Garcia on July 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This is the HAWK which was first issue in 1958 and Testors last issued it in 1989. It is marked with Caracal decals for a Langley AFB hack. The cheat line should be blue and not black, but that's what Caracal provided, and like many [...]

Vintage: Lindberg 1/51 F-94 Demonstrator (1954)

by David Garcia on July 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is an oldie and dates back to early 1950s. Heck it's older than I am. It does not look like much in the box but I thought lets build it anyway. The only thing holding me back were markings. Due to the scale finding decals were a [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX PK-2

by David Garcia on July 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I build old kits, the older the better. I especially like Revell, Aurora, HAWK, Matchbox and Airfix from the 1950s and '60s and 1970's. This Matchbox PK-2 of the 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX upgraded [...]

AIRFIX 1/76th CROMWELL, SHERMAN TANK, JEEP & TRAILER

by Tony Anderton on June 11, 2021 · in Armor · 2 ≡

Just built these 2 for my son who wants to build a "D-Day" themed diorama (meaning i'll end up attempting it) Straight from the box, few parts (but some very tiny). The only thing i wish i had changed is on the Jeep. That is the [...]

Captured Hawk, P-36/ H75 in the Luftwaffe. Monogram 1/72.

by Robert Royes on June 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This represents one of the dozen or so H 75's that were captured by Germans, which sold many to the Finns. I think that the Monogram kit is still the best representation of the P-36 in 1/72. Thanks go to Tom Bebout for supplying the kit.

1978 Monogram ME-262 Revisited

by Jay Mitchell on May 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This was my 7th and last build for 2020. This kit's box and instruction sheet had a copyright date of 1978. The decals were in poor condition and not useable. Fortunately I had some decals from an Italeri kit. It was built out of the box [...]
