1/72

Hi again, this is another of my current builds, again started for a Group Build on Britmodeller. This time, its Arma Hobby's Yakovlev Yak-1b Expert Set in 1/72 scale and, as is usual with the Expert Set boxing, there are six markings options and a small sheet of etched brass details. Its...

My first thread on the forum isn't quite start to finish, as the build is already quite advanced. However, I'll post photos I've taken along the way as it was begun on Britmodeller in last year's Turning Japanese group build. Its the Arma Hobby Expert boxing, so it comes with additional markings...

One more from previous year, After many years in stash...finished, an old Airfix Spitfire VB, upgraded as much as my nerves allowed, engraving, some cockpit details, added mirror according to documented pictures of Zumbach plane, high located on two support bars. Colors Hataka...

Hi all Anothr one from near past, Eduard Focke-Wulf 190 F-8 airplane captured by Yugoslav Partisan forces (Yugoslavia 1945). The only remaining examples of the Fw190-F-8 of the two preserved, one is located in the Smithsonian Museum in the USA, and the other in the Depot of the...

I've been worrying a 1/72 Monogram P-51B for months on and off. I had some decals that seemed good and the scheme seemed easy enough. But in fact it's quite a challenge (for me anyway...): A natural metal aircraft, with O.D. added around the fuselage national insignia and codes, followed by...

Hi y'all, I've been on this forum for a while and started having a lot of free time over the summer, so I finally bit the bullet and decided to try building model kits in real life after years of making liveries and 3d models. Previous attempts/Not super relevant stuff Now, this isn't...

Hi all, I purchased a Snap-Tite Monogram B-26B-2 kit earlier in the year and decided to give it some upgrades and convert it into a USAAF B-26-MA or possibly an RAF Marauder Mk. I (haven't committed to a livery yet or bought the paints). I've purchased the Eduard metal landing gear set, and...

I waited decades for some kind soul to make one of these for me. Well, they didn't, so I did: For those interested, the build thread is HERE, along with a few more photos... Ed

A 1/72 Williams Bros Douglas World Cruiser I built OOB in 1983: Ed

Hi all, first post here. I’m certainly not the best modeler our there, but I love the hobby. I’ll start off with my favorite build so far, Italeri’s 1/72 B-25.

I don't really do a lot of Luftwaffe subjects but was persuaded to build this, and I'm glad I did – it's a beautiful kit. This was the Profipack version with colour photo-etch and suchlike, plus I added Brassin resin wheels and the gun nose.

Nice little kit from Brengun, I also used their vac-canopy and paint-masking set.

This will be my next project. I plan to build this as "2nd Patches" a B-17G-DL-30 426th BS, 99th BG, 15th AF, USAAF. Shown is the kit I will be building along with references I have at hand. I have decals on the way as well. Though there are at least 3 pictures of this aircraft that I know of...

GRUMMAN F6F-5 HELLCAT Heller 1/72 Hi all I had this very old Heller kit sitting in my stash for over 30 years. Due it's age it was not engraved panel lines, so I decided to use it as a practice for my first ever try to engrave panel lines in a kit. It was not perfect but I've learned a lot. I...

While plugging away on other recent bigger projects, I've been spending some time working on an old 1/72 scale Monogram P-36. I thought it might be interesting to not just mention that aircraft, but some of the other, related builds done with the same kit over the years. I'll begin with a plain...

Hi guys, new to the forum and enjoying it. I have also fairly recently renewed my interest in modeling and have put together a small fleet of 1/72 model airplanes with an emphasis on fighters and 'light' bombers from the crucial early to mid-war period. Say June 1940 - June 1943, but I'm...

Hi all Here are photos of my latest completed model. Built straight from the box except for the PE seat belts and some scratch built modifications. Enjoy! As usual, comments and critics are very welcomed! Cheers

Back to basics with an £8 Airfix new tool. Add some after market exhausts and cannons.

User Name - Wildcat Name - Andy Category - Intermediate Kit - Airfix Extras - DK Decals sheet 72007 I thought I would join in this group build with a quick OOB build of the Airfix 1/72 B-25. This model will represent A47-27 of No2 sqn RAAF, which flew bombing and anti-shipping strikes...

I am building (and with any luck will finish :lol:) a 1/72 scale aircraft hangar and I though you would all like to come along. The kit is from the Polish company GPM available in 1/48, 1/50, 1/87, 1/72 and 1/144 scales. Basically it's laser cut thin and, for some parts, corregated cardboard...
