Another thread started me on this train of thought. What was it that meant that the licenc built DB engines never seemed to live up to the engines built by the Germans. I can find three companies Alfa Romeo, Kawasaki and Aichi that built DB engines and plenty of claims they werent as good as...

A big deal is made of a number of British aircraft, that while designed for combat would up as trainers. The US had the luxury of not only starting later but having an industry large enough (or of being capable of expanding enough) to build thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of trainers...

Hi everyone We have been offered a rare (ie probably the only time it will happen) chance to acquire a CAC built Australian Mk20 Mustang - A68-71. It is the oldest surviving one left in Australia (there are two others both having been exported to the USA) Anyway we have a task ahead in...

Couple of Halifax pictures I took last year. Can provide many more detailed ones if anyone is interest. They built a hanger around the aircraft to house it.

...Where might we have seen it employed, other than in fighters?

With the recent discussion of hobby shops closing, it got me thinking about the fun I used to have exploring those shops and dreaming of having that monster aircraft kit that was always taunting me from behind the counter... It also took me back to the first kits I had as a kid and so here we...

Dang, why couldn't they have released this before I built mine... AVIAEOLOGY DECALS-1:48 SCALE Geo

Any of you down-under guys ever heard or built one of these... ...just curious as to how they built up. Geo

I wanted to do something a little bit different with this Harvard so I grabbed some left over decals from the CR-42 kit and decided a Swedish bird would be nice. With some help from Jan I was able to cobble together my model. It is built to represent A/C 16071 when it was assigned to F16 and...

The Comet, Trident and the VC10!

This might not be quite the right place to post this, but, rather than post it in the modelling forums, I thought perhaps more people can enjoy this beautiful model if shown here. This is a large (I think around 1/8th scale), 'scratch-built', metal, P-51D, now on display in the main entrance...

Hello To build this model I've used two kits- Revell 04670, and over 50-years old(!) Airfix kit. Engines with nacelles, propellers and exhausts are taken from Airfix. Front plexiglass-handmade, some corrections in ailerons, fuselage front, wingtips, tailwheel. Paint: Gunze C, decals: Xtradecal...

I've been looking into the history of Spitfire MH434, and I'm trying to figure out whether this aircraft was built as an IX variant or whether it was built as another variant and later converted into an IX. On a related note, I have been able to find the construction number for this aircraft...

I share with you the link to this article and photos of undoubtedly the most famous B-17 bomber ever built: Aviação em Floripa: Memphis Belle Hope you enjoy and I count on your visit!
