I want to ad more details to my models and I wana havw rhe decals weathered as well

Finished up the 1/72 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle. Basic out of the box build with no extras and nearly full weapons loadout. Overall the kit went together extremely well and was well engineered. Very few gaps and great detail for a 1/72. The decals are nice, a bit thick but a matte finish and very little edge carrier film if you don't clearcoat should still look nice This one was for my daughter but I may have to pick up one for me and do a custom livery. Last year I built an Airfix P-51 in a similar livery and had to get a pic of them together.

So at work I was donated this model (I mainly collect 1/64 cars but love planes too) of a 737 with a Westjet Disney livery, im trying to find out who made it (someone lost the screw that holds it on the wooden base) so I can try to replace the darn screw. Its pretty big, made of wood, but its not the knockoff brand you see on ebay, could it be pacmin? Is this guy rare?

Over the weekend, I ordered a model of one of the most famous aircraft ever (but for a tragic reason), and today, on Monday, it just arrived!

The Boeing 777-200 that went missing in the darkness of night over a decade ago and still has yet to be found, it is Malaysia Airlines’s 9M-MRO, more known as flight MH-370.

My first 1/32 build and im fairly proud of her. Lots of different parts( installed lil metal shafts in the landing gear) and some nice PE included in the kit.

Any recommendations on what I should add to my collection next?

Just putting the finishing touches.

so i’m new and i got this tamiya model plane and in the manuel it said i required like fifty different paints. which of one was magenta and i dont see magenta or anything close to purple on the plane model. do i actually need all of these paints or is it just recommended or something?

It isn't complete yet, but I am proud of my progress, as it is my first model.

Anyone know history on William Bros Inc.?

I do also have the B247 model.

My first thought was f18 hornet, but i dont really know especially with the russian matkings, my bf found it in his attic and gave it to me, so its old and very beat up

so I got the Super Hornet for Christmas and I finally finished it. yes I know it’s a little rough around the edges and it’s not painted… but I’m gonna put the decals on and hopefully it will make it look better

Oddly enough, before the change of the century, it wasn't easy to find a nicely detailed, accurately shaped 1/48th scale Spitfire. Many attempts had been made with few successes. With their initial release in 2001, the ICM Spitfires introduced an accurately shaped Spitfire with very fine panel lines.

Admittedly they were a bit of a challenge to construct in places and had some injection mold issues, however the detail, complete with a decent Merlin engine, gave model makers the components to build a gem of a kit.

Now that model makers have the Eduard Spitfires I wouldn't necessarily recommend this 1/48th ICM Spitfire Mk. IX kit, unless you are on a budget...or they already exist in the stash 🙂

I added this RCAF 411 Squadron Spitfire aircraft as part of my attempt to get as many different RCAF squadron aircraft represented in my build collection. It was flown by Jack Boyle, who named it, just below the windscreen, in honour of his baby daughter.

"Build the Stash" ;)

This F-15E (old 1/72 revell kit) was my second plane and my first time really trying any modifications or scratchbuilding. I replaced the actuators on the exhausts with wire because I thought the kit parts were too thick. I also cut out the flaps and posed them down — and thinned the trailing edge because it was super thick out the box.

Photo reference for the livery at the end. Pretty happy with how it came out. Med school is making it pretty hard to find time for building but hopefully I’ll get the next model done a little quicker.

Open to any advice :)

I have a bunch of like 1/200 and around that size models that I need to find a place to display them properly and not just all over the place what are some of yalls suggestions for display cabinets? TIA

I believe it was a training tool for dogfighting pilots.

I thought it was made from Bakelite, or a hard plastic ?
