1/48

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?

As I may have mentioned in another thread, I only do 1/48th aircraft, and only those types flown by Hans-Werner Lerche, a Luftwaffe test pilot. Last year I started a second-hand Esci kit of the Hs 123. I didn't realise that there were a few issues with the model (some interesting warping of the...

Good Afternoon Everybody: I'm getting ready to do a 1/48 Nine-O-Nine and I am trying to make it as accurate to the real one as possible, not the one flying right now (sorry Collings Foundation). I have found plenty of photos, some even in color, but there is still one area that eludes me, and...

For my first effort back into modelling in many years I thought it best to stick to an OOB build (at least as much as possible). I found this kit at the LHS and have always been keen to do an early 109 – preferably dressed in Spanish Civil War colours. Having made a start on the kit I found the...

Here is my recently completed Zero. This model is more or less build out of the box, I used the Tamiya Kit No. 61108. In addition, I added seat belts and pitot tube from Tamyia and brass machine gun barrels from Master. The Hinomarus and the yellow identification strips are airbrushed. This...

Good Afternoon, All, Well, my work schedule just steps all over my time to the point where group builds do not work for me and that is my loss. However, I want to attempt to stay more active on the site so I am going to open a start to finish thread on Airfix's new 1/48 Hurricane kit. Please...

Hello all, I would like to test the water with one of my latest models. A Focke Wulf FW 190A-5, flown by Oberleutnant (first lieutenant) Rolf Strohal, Technical Officer, Stab I./JG1. During April 1943 this unit was stationed in Deelen, Netherlands.

Being looking around the net I have found a couple of MicroMir (МикроМир) 1/48 kits of the soviet UT-1 ( Яковлев УТ-1 ) training/aerobatic plane. All kits are of the same set of sprues basically. Also there is a PE set included. The differences are just decal markings and the PE sets ( depending...
