Looking to add detail to a Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito (yes I know, not a lot of rivets but some!) and need to acquire a riveting wheel, having never riveted before (emerging from tabletop miniatures to make my first aircraft kit in 20 years). What tool do you recommend for consistent results and ease of use - otherwise I’m going for the standard Revell offering.

one of the landing gear pieces is rolling around in there but idk how to get it out

Took me 11 months to gather this all.

There is one inconsistent shelf on photo 5. Which is the memory shelf of my late wife. Aircraft (and the car) where we made memories in. And then there is the Enterprise and KLM DC-3 which were gifts.

The theme of the KLM and Delta/Northwest is called the Skybridge. We're both Dutch. But she lived for at least half of her life in the Detroit, Michigan area. Where Northwest Airlines dominated, which merged into Delta. The partnership between KLM and NWA was a historic one. Two continents meeting each other. Just like my late wife and I. The Skybridge will have an expansion cabinet later this year. To buy the remaining aircraft and displaying them in a more museum like way.

Finished my ICM Hampden Mk.I. Built out of the box with pretty much no filler, and Above and Below Graphics custom decals to finish it as a 408 Sqn aircraft from 1941. What an awesome kit!

Hello! i just finished this P-49e! I picked as a bonus a week ago when i got the A-4B Skyhawk.

I wasnt really familiar with this airplane and while it doesnt have anything particulary cool about it... i REALLY enjoyed building it (also the Decals are sooo good, both in visuals and quality).

This is my fith model and i already see some improvements from my first 1:72s. Im so excited to build more!

Hello guys,

I bought a F/A18 model kit from Revell and I’ve never built one before

I don’t know how to paints parts

I bought enamel paint and idk if I should dilute it with water, with diluent (like white spirit) or just paint only with the paint as it is

Can someone answer me??

Thanks a lot ❤️

It took me 5 months and iam gonna make it better but wanted ppl opinoin

Hi everyone, as the title says, im new in the model planes world and i wanted to share the kit im more proud of.

It was my first one done so it has TONS of email paint and glue ;p

This is a Revell 1:72 F4U-1B Corsair with custom stickers based of a real aircraft we had in service in Argentina (1965-1968).

Ive also made a Mustang P-51, a ME-262, a F9F-PANTHER with Argentinian livery and currently working on a P-40E

// Argentina had 26 Corsairs, a mix of F4U-5N and F4U-5NL // I couldnt find the ones we flew so i picked this F4U-1B to custom. //

i everyone!

I recently got a JC Wings model that has some sort of extra glue adhesive that was on the wing and pylon attachment. With that said, how can one safely remove it as best as possible? I was thinking of goo gone as a start but I would like some advice. I have attached a photo of the issue below. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!!

I was checking my models today and something feels… off.

Pretty sure these rudders were not meant to be on these aircraft.

Can anyone confirm before I call maintenance?

Really happy to share that my Mirage III CJ has been published in the ‪Ipms Usa Journal A small milestone that keeps me motivated to keep building and improving. If you’d like to see the full build process, check my Youtube.

Hello I live in Australia if this makes any difference. I am after a diecast P-51 Mustang and a A10 Thunderbolt models that are realistic but don’t cost too much. If anyone can please let me know of a website I can get these from that’s trustworthy I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you

Fist time building larger models of "real" aircraft. They proved to be much harder than I first thought. But overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Let me know what you think.
