  1. 1/48 F/A-18 C/D parts wanted. (seats, wheels,nozzles, target pods) ANY KIT is ok 🙂 I can also use seats from the F-14D - F-15E Have 1/48 parts and decals to trade! See pics, will trade in your favor. I have a F/A-18 Testors Kit I'm building as a D model. Just would like to update the seats/wheels/nozzles/targeting pods/jdams. Let's work something out!
  2. Hello all This build started in 2005, back then I thought it was a good idea to include pictures of the sprues as a way to publish an in-progress report in a “formal” manner as I saw done with other modelers, so here they are along with an Aires’ cockpit set. While searching for references, I noted that some characteristics of the Corsair were, to my taste, oversimplified in the kit, like the exhaust tubes, tail landing gear and it's bay, radiator intakes, brewster bomb rack and to some extent
  3. HI everyone!🙂 this is my Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubish Ki-46 "Dinah" It's not famous,but I realy like the shape of this airplane.. this kit is almost 30years old.. with some modification, I think it turns out well. hope you guys like it! and here is the video build if you are interested..😊
  4. Hello everyone It has been a while since my last post. This work I want to present to you, was finished during Shanghai lock down in 2022. Although the number of works completed in last year is only two, which is the lowest score in terms of quantity, I am now comforting myself with the two works that I am very satisfied with in terms of quality. One of them is this "Downed Bald Eagle" F-16CG Block 40 US Air Force 555th FS Commander's plane. The base kit is Tamiya's 1/48 F-16C/N "Aggressor", modified to Block 40 F-16CG. Aftermarket parts include Fabscale's F110 n
  5. Switching gears and going back to aircraft this week, taking a look at a kit that I have wanted to get for a long time with Tamiya's 1/48th scale Do335B-2
  6. Hot off my workbench is this 1/48 Tamiya Viper done as a Block 52 of the Republic of Singapore Air Force's 143 Squadron "Phoenix". I used the Thunderbird boxing as the basis for this build. Mainly built out-of-the-box with Fine Molds seatbelts and ScaleNutz decals as the only aftermarket used. To represent a RSAF bird, some details had to be scratch-built including the plate-mounted AIFF antennae, HMCS sensor on the canopy and GPS receiver on the spine. The model was painted primarily with Mr Color lacquers. Weathering was done with a mix of AK Interactive, Ammo by Mig
  7. Late getting this posted as I was out of town last week. Looking at another aircraft kit again this week, with Tamiya's 1/48th scale Spitfire Mk.1 kit. This is the older tooling of this aircraft released in the early 90's and not the new tooling that was release in 2018.
  8. Dear Modellers I finally managed to get this shake and bake kit together. Was a loong shaking period, thats for sure. Tamiya Kit in 1/48 scale. Eduard Cockpit inside with Quinta Decals, Reedoak Pilots, KA and Reskit exhaust mix. Nose cam and probes aftermarket, Eduard Missiles Models. Tamiya and Gunze acrylic colours and a lot of oils on top of it. No washing worth mentioning Enjoy Oh, it isn`t dead on accurate, but i don`t care (edit: anymore) I just wanted a grimey, grey Tomcat with the Skull n Bones-Scheme, since my wish for a Tomcat model
  9. I’ll be building my next Tamiya cat as one of the first in the fleet - VF-1 Wolfpack’s second 101 bird, which has been modeled a lot. Research is one of the things that really appeals to me in modeling, and this project has given me a lot to learn! For instance: the first VF-1 plane to be painted as NK-101 was this one, BuNo 158627. I believe it was a Block 65 machine. Note the radome without a tan front section, long gun muzzle trough (short cover), the black skunk stripe over the canopy and spine, completely white nose gear doors, pin striping around the NACA intake on the ventr
  10. Changing this up this week and going to be looking at another one of Tamiya's small 1/100th scale aircraft kits with their A-4E Skyhawk kit.
  11. Good day to you all, It took a while, but finished (a while ago, but haven't posted until now) - 1/48 Tamiya F-16CJ (14FS Misawa). I threw all the goodies at it I could and scratch build areas where applicable. Goodies included: Eduard BIG set Eduard aim-120cs, aim-9x, sniper pod, agm-88 Eduard wheels Meng satellite guided bombs (for the gbu-31 v3) Speed Hunter Graphics SEAD Specialists Master pitot and aoa probes Master static wicks KA models exhaust GT Resin left hand side ecm pod I may have left some out and w
  12. My first model for 2022 crossed the finish line this morning. I started this model in December of 2020. This is the 1/48 Tamiya P-47M with the following additions: - Eduard Löök Instrument Panel and Steelbelts - Quickboost resin gunsight - Added wiring to the instrument panel and gunsight - Aires R-2800 Late engine modified to fit the kit firewall - Quickboost oil cooler and wastegate interiors - Eduard Photoetch Gunbay - GasPatch .50 Cal Flexible Ammo Belts (2x) - Eduard Brassin Wheels - Brake lines added with copper wire - HGW Wet Transfer rivets adapted from the P
  13. Moving from the era of props and into the jet age with this week's kit. We will be looking at the Tamiya 1/32nd scale F-4J Phantom II kit. This version of the kit build up as a Navy aircraft with air-to-air armaments. There is also a Marine version of this kit that swaps out the missile for bombs. Aside from this difference they are the same kit.
  14. I need your help. I remember a thread about the three different styles of Tomcat main wheels but I cannot locate it despite having searched through all F-14 threads since last fall. Last weekend I tried modifying a set of Tamiya main wheels with half of the white metal hubs from a Hasegawa F-14, but now I have my doubts as to whether or not I used the correct wheel hubs. Can someone help me out here? Thanks in advance, Jens
  15. Hi, There are some really awesome threads in this GB. I hope you Tomcat experts can help me out a bit. I'm going to convert a Tamiya F-14D into an F-14A+ (F-14B). I'll make a list of what I think is neccesary. Please let me know if I overlook anything. I don't have the conversion sets that were made by Steel Beach or Phase Hangar Resin, but I think it can be done without them. *A coaming for the front Instrument panel. Replace Tamiya parts N3, N4, N9, L6 and L7, with a coaming for an A or B model. I'm pretty sure I'll find a spare part in the stash.
  16. The Tiger I was constructed first and was thematically a straight follower of my previous tank, HB T-34 in 1/48. This was clearly a Tamiya kit and went together easily (as opposed to the HB kit) and had crisp details and flash free parts. It comes with a metallic chassis which, according to some modelers, simplifies parts of the suspension details. Could be, but most of it will be hidden behind the typical German multi-wheel chassis assembly anyway. I wanted a machine used on the Eastern front and I wanted it in Tank Gray. TS-4 was used as a base paint and weathering was done with oils, enamel
  17. Hi Phantom Phreaks, two new items have just been released on my website, both for the Tamiya F-4B (and possible future release Phantoms). 1: A centreline pylon. It fits onto the kit's mounting tab with an easy modification. https://www.hypersonicmodels.com/product/f-4-phantom-centreline-pylon-tamiya- 2: Early type McAir 370gal wing tanks with pylons for the Tamiya kit. These tanks were initially used on all F-4B (and F-4C) before the advent of the Sgt. Fletcher tanks. They remained in use into the early 70s. https://www.hypersonicmodels.com/pr
  18. Hi, Here's my Tamiya F-14A with the Steel Beach set to backdate it to a pre-production F-14 and Caracal decal set CD48-168. I love every subject on the sheet, but I'm going to go with BuNo 157988 with the PMTC markings. On the instructions, she is shown in the NMC markings, but everything needed to build her with the PMTC markings is on the sheet. I'm forever grateful to Kursad (Caracal decals) and Darren (Steel Beach) for making this possible. One thing I did to this one before the decals even existed was to eliminate the hexagonal stiff
  19. Thanks to all the folks who have helped me shrink the stash. Here is a sample of some of the kits I have yet to sell. For a complete list of kits, just pm your email and I will send a complete list. Make me an offer I am very motivated to shrink the stash. Please include your zip code so I can estimate the shipping. 3 or more kits = free shipping AMT/ERTL P-40F #8795 P-40K #8794 P-40N #8798 HobbyCraft P-40C #HC1451 Sea Fury #HC1583 w/ Cooper Detail set for Sea Fury #CD4802 Sea Fury #HC1531 w/ Cooper Detail set for S
  20. Hello Everyone Adi here . . . I wanted to make a Snowy Base for the Finnish AF Hawker Hurricane which I just completed. To make the base I use Plywood and cover this with acrylic putty. I use baking powder to sprinkle the base for the Snow Effect. I make trees using wooden kitchen skewers and single strand wire. For the branches I used dried grass as I did not have access to Woodland Scenics Sea Foam. I make my own flocking using a sponge and I churn it in the mixer. I make two different shades of green. I spray the trees with diluted PVA Glue and sprinkl
  21. Hi there! Just finished this nice Tamiya kit. Everything OOB and the only real flaw was one of the decals sheet, the smaller one, most stencils. Without exception, all of them cracked as soon as I tried to move them. I used warm water, cold water, decal solution, you name it, with no success. In some cases I was able to join the pieces and have them in place. But, as I said, a very nice kit. Hope you’ll like it. Cheers!
  22. Going to be taking a break from the type of kits we have been reviewing lately and be going back to aircraft kits again this week with Tamiya's 1/100th scale Embraer 175 kit.
  23. Haven't done much modelling the last few years, and I've been looking through a lot of builds lately, of the Tomcats that have come out in the past few years (while I wasn't building any!)---I don't think any has been praised as "clearly the best one ever"----that said, I'm wondering what one "has the best odds of looking good when built". A master modeler can deal with any issue in any kit---that's not me! I'm looking for one where I won't have to spend 100 hours trying to get parts to fit. I would basically want to "slap it together out of the box, and be proud of it". Skills are rusty,
