1/48

Time to kick off the thread for the next build on my list. After having just completed an old Classic Airframes kit it is refreshing to open the box on a much newer kit from Eduard (although I understand this may be a re-box of the Gavia kit). (Box art shot courtesy of Scalemates) The box...

As usual, brush painted with mixture of Humbrol, Ammo Mig and AK. Well, I don't like the fixed prop assembly. If you know how to make it detachable with tight fit in the fuselage, please let me know.

brushpainted with AK and Humbrol. Overall nice kit

This next build is an old(?) Classic Airframes kit of the Boeing P-12E. Unless you have an old Aurora kit, this is basically the only game in town when it comes to 1/48 scale versions of this aircraft. I did build the Matchbox 1/72 scale kit of this aircraft back when Adam was a boy, but my eyes...

Brush painted with AK Interactive RLM 76. And I somehow found out how to make the prop detachable for transport.

My next build is an addition to my Yellow Wings collection - the Brewster Buffalo from Tamiya. I scored this kit from ePay a little while back not knowing much it. Turns out the kit itself is quite old. The date on the sprues is 1974, which I am assuming will be the original mold block creation...

Seeing I have completely lost my mojo with the other project I have running at the moment, the Italeri Stuka, I thought it might be good to do a quick and dirty build of another kit that does not have quite so many build issues. So here I go with the Ka-14 from Finemolds. I have never built a...

For my next project I was looking to build a model almost out of the box. For this I chose a Ju-87 by Italeri from the stash. Whilst I say "OOB" I am sure that some minor scratching and enhancements will creep into the build, but the aim is to keep this one as simple as possible. I'd like to...

Great kit although they forget to give 30mm cannon wing bulge

Good kit

Trumpeter 1/48 Sea Fury. The paint should have been darker.

Tamiya 1/48 G6 is good kit. I want to buy it again when I can go to Japan again.

This is my first Eduard. I like the kit in general, but I dislike the idea to fix the prop unlike the Tamiya poly cap or Revell stick rod method. Detachable/rotatable prop is good for transportation purpose. I wish Tamiya make Bf 109G variant, but as you know Tamiya seems to be not interested...

Next kit on the to do list is the Re.2005 from Special Hobby. I don't have any add-ons for this kit so it will be mostly OOB with a few bits and pieces scratched together where necessary. It's my first Special Hobby kit so I don't really know what to expect quality wise. The kit components look...

I am yet to finish the Tamiya Corsair (thread in this forum) but cold weather and an impatience to get this particular kit underway means I have already made a start on this. Firstly - some details on the kit. It's a pretty old kit (early 1990's) and the quality of the moldings is reasonable...

Now I've called the Bf-109B as finished I have started on the next kit - Tamiya's Bird Cage Corsair. I won't go into too much about the kit - it is quite well represented by other members. I have decided to bling it up a little bit with a QuickBoost engine and some selected bits from the Eduard...

I have an 1/48 Eduard Weekend Edition Bf109E-3. Being a Weekend Edition it has one decal/color scheme. I am not one to do the usual stuff, so I would like to do something a little different. Can anyone point me to some decal sets that might offer some good alternatives to the norm?
