1979 boxing of 1966 Airfix kit, with decals from the Starfighter USN at Midway and TBDs (yes, TBDs for the 8-T-1 decals) at War sets. I finished it as Ensign Bert Earnest’s Torpedo 8 TBF, which made it to Pearl Harbor took late to join [...]

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt – Monogram 1/48

by Andrew H on August 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I've finally completed this kit after a long period of in-process limbo. But first I must briefly explain how this kit came to be on my work bench in the first place. It all started when I purchased a second-hand Hasegawa P-47D, mainly due [...]

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 [...]
