by Roland Sachsenhofer on December 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

What associations come to mind when you hear the keyword ‘USA around 1930’? Do images of the Great Depression, Prohibition and gangsters like Al Capone or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind? Or are they happier images full of an affinity [...]

Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawks

by gary sausmikat on August 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Hi All. I have seen the last remaining F9C Sparrowhawk before, at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy/NASM, but for some reason on my last visit, with my Bro-in-law (thanks Kurt, had a great time), I felt inspired to build this classic USN [...]

Williams Bros 1/48 Corben Super Ace

by Josh Patterson on June 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Well, I said the Super Ace was hot on the heels of my Ford Flivver and here it is... Fifteen months later! I have to get moving if I'm going to make a dent in the stash! I had built this kit back in the 90's but it is so spindly it did not [...]

Ford Flivver. 1/48 Williams Bros.

by Josh Patterson on March 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Here's one I've been wanting to add to the collection. It started out as a weekend build last week, but I needed time for my gloss blue to dry. As it is one week is stellar for me in terms of getting a kit done! I don't know the actual [...]

Williams Brothers 1/48 Ford Flivver

by Haslam Yeoman on July 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Hi All, This is a delightful little kit. I added a lap belt, instrument bezels, some stretched sprue rigging for the tail and spark plug leads. You could probably do it in a weekend but I took a bit longer because as usual life got in the [...]

Williams Brothers Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk

by Haslam Yeoman on June 9, 2019 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hi All, This is is the Williams Brothers 1/32 Curtiss Sparrowhawk. The kit went together well. The only tricky bit is the area where the upper wing meets the fuselage. Compound curves and gaps induce some modelling skills. I was really [...]

Williams Brothers 1/32 Gee Bee Z

by Ryan Elliott on May 15, 2019 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is my most recent model to cross the finish line. The Williams Brothers Gee Bee Z. The kit build was straight forward, and built OOB, with the exception of engine details being scratch built. The hard part was painting. The model was [...]

Gee Bee Model “Z” Super Sportster – 1:32, Williams Bros with lots of scratch

by Gábor Szabó on May 10, 2019 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Hi All! This is my finally finished Gee Bee "Z" from the venerable Williams Bros kit (not bad just a bit old) with lot of modifications and - hopefully - upgrade. I started this kit years ago but I had some issues with - as I [...]
