Do you build aircraft models?

[Roadie]

In acc. to the hysterics of the oncoming game, I'm interested to build aircraft models specially card models.

So I have ordered two of them:

Bf 109 E4

Heinkel He-111


... and here are the reports of the Bf 109 and the He-111 how to build them.


Here is another very beautiful aircraft: Hawker Hurricane.

I never knew they even produced card models. They look pretty good.

I've been making plastic kits in 1/72 scale for a couple of years now. Here's a few of them:

Great Job Jazzy Jase!!!

1/72 scale is a hard one.... I particularly like the mosquito.

I also build scale models myself but I prefer the 1/32 scale.
I especially love german planes because they are interesting for airbrushes techniques.

Here are the only pictures I have from my own, done years ago:

BF-109 (E5 if I can remember) 1/48:

FW-190 D9 (Brown 4) 1/32... not finished at that time :
All markings handpainted... no decals!

Cheers cydno. Your models are looking good too.

I'd love to build in 1/32 or even 1/48 but I live in a tiny flat and I don't have the space for them.

Lovely work Jazzy/Cydno. I only usually build RC stuff and it doesn't tend to be scale. However I recently bought a tiny wee Sukhoi 26 aerobatic plane that I intend to strip the gear out of and build a scale airframe to put it in.

For those into the paper/card models you can get 3 free downloads of PDFs from here if you register:

Edit: on looking at those earlier links to the card models these are nothing like as detailed but hey, they're free.

I do, but they tend to be a mix of stuff.

This is a Lancaster I did a few years ago

Avro Lancaster

some other stuff I've done

Senna's 1990 McLaren

Falklands Sea Harrier

I get around

Some very nice work there - liking the 109 and the T-34/76 in particular

Apologies - some of the links don't work as my freind and fellow forum owner Mike has upgraded the forum software this morning and b0rked the message boards - should be up again soon

I build RC models, here are some pictures of my 1/7th scale FW190D9:






these pictures are a few months old, in the meantime I have added wheeldoors and painted the guns, but I still have to make pictures of them...

BTW: first post!
