  1. Hi all, I've a soft-spot for Naval Aviation and know @Grey Beema wouldn't let me hear the end of it if I didn't build something. So I'm in with this one which only had a service life of four years. Hasegawa F11-F1_Tiger_Box by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr The second US Navy aircraft to go supersonic after the Douglas F4D Skyray, the F-11F-1 Tiger was soon replaced by the F-8 Crusader. I like how this is a little different and looking forward to giving it a go. Plan is for OOB, all the way! Hasegawa_F11-F1_contents by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Thanks for looking, good luck with your builds and happy modelling. Cheers, Dermot
  2. Hi, There are hundreds of subjects that fit into the Salty Sea Dog GB that I'd like to build. I'm going to limit myself to 2 Marineflieger F-104's. This one is going to be a Hasegawa F-104 enchanced with the superb Daco F-104 upgrade set. The set contains the Kormoran missile, but also the AS30. I'll build this one as a MFG 1 aircraft armed with AS30's. I'll start a second thread for a MFG 2 aircraft with the Kormorans using the Kinetic kit. The kit is an "overtrees" kit from Eduard. The Marineflieger F-104 Wings were part of a huge NATO effort to contain Warsaw pact navies in the Baltic Sea. In the 1970's, there were 2 Wings with each squadrons of F-104's. One squadron from MFG-2 also had RF-104's and made almost daily runs over the Baltic to keep the intelligence picture updated. The RF-104's were also capable of using the AS30 and the Kormoran. When MFG 1 converted to Tornado's (autumn 1981-September 1982), MFG 2 had a third F-104 squadron giving a total strength of 72 F-104's and 12 TF-104's. Although their bases were obviously under NATO protection, they also had their own ground-based air defence units. 40 mm Bofors at first, in the case of MFG 2 replaced by 6 (!) batteries of truck-based Roland missiles. I've seen a picture of a Marineflieger F-104 flying so low between Bundesmarine ships that he kicked up white spray. They were certainly salty sea dogs... Cheers, Stefan.
  3. I will give this subject a go, been wanting to to do this for a while now. This boxing is very hard to source so I'll useHasegawa's G6 kit and after market antenna.
  4. This is one of the earliest models I did upon my return to the hobby a few years ago - Hasegawa’s 1/48 A6M5c . This was before I decided that space (both storage and display) and finances meant that I settled on 1/72. It was all built OOB, and while the kit isn’t the newest and seems to have a mixed reception, I thought it was a delight to build, great fit, and nicely accommodating for someone looking to relearn some of the skills. This was my first go with an airbrush (at the time using a cheap Chinese brush) and also my first attempt at weathering. I used Tamiya Weathering Master which seemed to make it nice an easy, and Tamiya panel line wash (I now use Mig Ammo for a greater selection of shades) Painted using Tamiya acrylics, I definitely overdid the dry brushing (before I even knew about chipping!) but I had lots of fun. Thanks for looking!
  5. October 11th, 1948 In the chaos and confusion of the conflict against the forces of Syngman Rhee, a group of former IJAF and IJNAF turned Worker's Party of South Korea guerillas had begun a monumental endeavor. Knowing that the resistance would inevitably fall without some form of trump card to balance the odds, they had started to renovate a number of former Japanese aircraft located in hidden hangers on the island, dating back to the Second World War and whose existence was only known by the personnel who hid them. Though highly restricted in almost every measure possible, their efforts had finally readied a motley collection of IJNAF/IJAF aircraft, including D3A1/2s, Ki-51s and C6N1s to fly in attacks on the air-vulnerable South Korean army, to devastating effect... Alright, backstory over. I might continue it later with a number of different models... In all seriousness though, I did enjoy this build, although a few of the techniques I used did not work as well as I would have wanted, such as painting the decals, accidentally contaminating the Clear, etc... Nonetheless, I feel satisfied with it. As for construction, it was all out-of-box, bar the central and right bombs, which came from a Tamiya J1N1 and an unknown kit respectively. The only issues I found with the kit were that: A: The wing to fuselage joint is oddly-shaped, which resulted in a rather large gap that could not be satisfactorily filled with filler, B: The construction of the gunner's mount is vague at best, with various loose hinges giving the form of the completed result, pointing the seat at a 65 degree angle. Normally, this would not be such an issue, but given how cramped the gunner's position is without the mounting, as well as the fact that glue can only be applied once everything is all put together means that it took a solid 2 hours to wrestle it into place. As for markings, they fictional, taking inspiration from the early Indonesian Air Force roundel by overpainting the supplied Hinomarus with the South Korean flag's blue, and the fin-flash is the orange (or as close as I could get with my peeling spare Canberra decals) stripes of the People's Republic of Korea, the first government to exist after the end of the Japanese occupation. The camouflage is the regular IJN Green over Grey, with stripes of red-brown painted as make-shift additions to help better conceal the aircraft. Last of all, you will have to forgive me for the poor background (my workbench), poor photography (my 7 year-old phone and questionable photography 'skills') and even poorer lighting, as being occupied for most of the day led to it being nightfall far before I could take photographs. Please feel free to comment and critique, another opinion other than my own would be much appreciated. In any case, I wish all of you who are still in the 25th a very Merry Christmas, and to everyone a good night. ...Unless you are in somewhere other than Oceana or the Americas, in which case Good Day! Sincerely, Hurricaneflyer
  6. Hello all, Joining for my second GB: again a very interesting theme to participate in! My plan is to build an A-1J Skyraider, from VA-145 “Swordsmen”, aboard USS Intreprid in the Gulf of Tonkin, ca. 1967. During the Vietnam war, US Navy aircraft carriers operated in open waters from a location known as “Yankee Station” in the Gulf of Tonkin, off the coast of Vietnam. Carriers at Yankee Station were referred to as being “on the line” (i.e. in combat), while conducting air operations: initially strikes over North Vietnam, but also CAS and Rescue Combat Air Patrol (RCAP) missions. U.S. Department of Defense, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons - Public domain The above map shows the designated targets for operation “Pierce Arrow”, ordered in August 1964 in response to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, with Vietnam torpedo boat bases and an oil storage depot being targeted. Among the first wave of the strike sorties were A-1 Skyraiders from VA-145 Swordsmen at Yankee Station. The unit was already present in the region, flying RCAP missions in South Vietnam and Laos. VA-145 remained operational throughout the conflict, switching to the A-6 Intruder from 1968. The below picture shows two of the unit's Skyraider: an A-1H (back) and an A-1J (front), aboard the USS Ranger in 1966 in the area. U.S. Navy, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons - Public domain I will be using the Hasegawa 1/72 kit, with a few small modifications. Decals for VA-145 are already in house (Printscale & Microscale), just waiting for some aftermarket stuff to arrive, then I will post some more pics. Thanks for looking! Patrick
  7. My main entry for this event is something I've wanted to build for a while, the PBJ-1H. The North American B-25 is one of my favorite aircraft, a medium bomber that became incredibly versatile. Used in the Pacific, these US Marine operated bombers were used in low level attacks and anti-shipping. VMB-613 started operating 15 PBJ-1H in early 1944. I'll be using Hasegawa's 1/72 kit. I picked up the kit for a good price, but the decals are missing. I'll have to source some, but in the meantime, I've picked up some accessories as well.
  8. On the workshop landed such a small and quick project Mc.205 "Veltro" from Hasegawa in 1:48. The model almost straight out of the box, the rest will come out during construction. As the model has its years this is the start of its construction. Another Italian but in JG77 camouflage.
  9. Hi all, Latest one to roll off the production line and the last one for 2022 is a Hasegawa 1/48 A-7D built as a YA-7D from the 6512th Test Squadron, 6510th Test Wing, Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards AFB 1983. Built as part of my slowly expanding collection of aircraft from Edwards AFB this one would once more not have been possible with the excellent pictures taken and shared by our very own @Old Viper Tester, so another huge thank you to Sven for sharing these with us. Built mostly OOTB but with a Master data probe for an F-16XL grafted onto a piece of brass rod and a conical fairing on the tail made from scrap sprue, with the decals coming from the kit and various other decal sheets to make up what I needed for this fairly unique looking Corsair. Here are the pictures, i hope that you like them; And for those that are interested here is the build thread; thanks for looking, and as usual all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 🇺🇦
  10. Hobby 2000 is to rebox the Hasegawa 1/72nd Brewster F2A Buffalo - ref. 72064 - Brewster F2A-1/2 Buffalo - Limited Edition Source: https://ksmodel.pl/sklep/szczegoly/hobby-2000-72064-brewster-f2a-1-2-buffalo-limited-edition-1-72-26526/ V.P.
  11. So, my dad started the last Hasegawa 109 in our stash. Gonna do a Regensburg built machine using decals from the Eduard kit.

  12. This is my first build here. About a year ago I managed to buy such a kit from hands. And I got guns by Master this week. But I want to build A3's variant in Tamiya's kit 61037. First I installed the wheels bay. I cut the plastic incorrectly and cracks formed. I will remove them later. It was also difficult to install the bay in the center. I was upset when I found a stumps on the cockpit floor for his legs. So I made a elements that, in general terms, repeated the original. I will install leg bindings after painting. Edward's photoetch is often flat in cases where it is not. I made a handle instead of a flat piece. Engines are always my headache. Only if you are building a large scale model you are not be cut with a scalpel and your desk will not be covered in your blood when you remove the pushers of cylinders. I had made the pushers out of copper wire. My set is A4, but I want A3, so I had made new panels with holes. I wish you a enjoy watching
  13. Kit - Hasegawa K25 Paint - All Lacquers Decals - Kit Extras - Loadout from spares. McDD F-15C Eagle 36th TFW Bitburg AB, Germany 1986 I know I cannot prove it, but this is the first-ever 1:72 F-15 kit I have built, and I've been nailing bits of plastic together since 1970 ! - Bought this for the massive sum of 10.00 GBP from Phils' Model Shop in Southport back in 1990, and it's sat in my stash ever since. Picked it up around three weeks ago and it's been an absolute joy ever since. We really did have it good back-in-the-day with Hasegawa issuing top-quality kits like this almost monthly. So what to say about the build ? - Apart from the thirty actuating rods for the exhaust petals which were/are a bl**dy nightmare, it's an easy, easy build. Virtually no putty or filler required anywhere, even the potentially disastrous wing/fuselage joint was a breeze. Cockpit area is beautifully detailed and mine is fully painted, however I snapped both the actuating struts when I was manipulating the (huge) canopy into place so reluctantly had to glue the 'glass' into place, shame really but that's down to my sausage fingers and general clumsiness, 'owt to do with the kit. The decals behaved impeccably even after all this time, I was fully prepared for them to shatter into a million atom-sized pieces when they hit the water and they simply didn't !. Paint is Mr Color lacquers and TBH appear a little too blue on the build, so I'll need to have that in mind if I use them on any other Low-Vis build in the future. So as ever thanks for taking the time to look and /or comment... next I'll finish my Tamiya Honda, then maybe a 'What If' project. All the best from Middle Earth. Ian.
  14. Hi folk's,I never consider Hasegawa kits as oldie's as I never really saw them till the mid eighties but thinking about it that was a long time ago now so in my current oldies mindset I picked up a nice example for £6 with decent looking decal's for a future entry for this GB fits nicely into the brief and my liking for colourful scheme's.It's a Hales boxing photo's when it arrive's. It will be in the Red,White and Blue scheme.

  17. hi,every one!!😃 this is my Hasegawa 1/48 P-40N .. this kit is aged,but quite easy to build. I use P.E set for landing flap and add some rivets to this warbird. the oliver darb color is much harder than I expact.. not perfect..but I think the result is ok... hope you like it and here is the video build if you are interested🙂
  18. I opened this kit, eager to make a start on it. Imagine the ugly surprise when I checked the sprues and found the main gear struts to be broken. I repaired then with UHU Plast and CA. Colours used came from the Revell Aqua range. They were 40 Blacl Green, 91 Steel, 59 Duck Egg Blue, 15 Matt Yellow, 48 Sea Green, 08 Matt Black. Naoshi Kanno was one of the aces of the 343 Naval Air Group. He graduated flight school in 1943 and waa posted to this unit soon after. During his service with the 343rd, he would achieve 25 kills. Kanno disappeared on August 1st 1945 near Kyushu, Japan, while on a mission to intercept B-24 bombers escorted by P-51 Mustangs. He was posthumously promoted to Lieutenant. Anyway, here are the photos.
  19. Two Hasegawas for the price of one. I've just finished building two 1/72 Hasegawa kits, the Kyushu J7W1Shinden and the Ki-44 Tojo. Both nice builds, barely any fit issues, though the Ki-44 needed a little more filler that I am used to with Hasegawa kits. Both were OOB, though I used peewit or dead design canopy masks, eduard seat belts, little lenses lamps for the nav lights and for the Ki-44 a Yahu instrument panel. Paints were Tamiya and Mr Colour, with Halfords black primer rattle can. The J7W1 is a most interesting plane, a pusher design with canards, but only ever flew as a prototype. It does have a very large 6 blade propellor, which if the stalky tricycle gear, canards and rear location of the engine didn't make you think hmmm, that's interesting, I suppose the propellor would. The plane itself is also quite large. Effectively, straight out of the box, plenty of nose weight, brush painted, using the paint scheme from the box for the kit. Here' tis. The other one of the Hasegawa pair is the 1.72 Ki-44, a quite stubby little plane, but this one was most definitely not painted in a scheme from the kit box. While checking my only reference on Japanese planes of the pacific war, by Rene Franrillon, I came across a profile of the Tojo; Intrigued, I thought I'll do this scheme, as I'd never seen anything before to suggest that Japanese night fighters were painted all black. Logic suggests they ought to have been, and surely the effectiveness of the black overall scheme somewhat reduced by the white bands for the hinomarus. While I know where the errors are, and anyone with experience of Japanese aircraft will see them, for once, I don't think I've done a bad job. I strayed Mr Colour White primer for the bands, then brush painted over two coats of Tamiya flat white for the bands, then used Tamiya flexible tape for masking the bands, and was absurdly pleased with myself that apart from a couple of tiny dots, there was no bleed of black onto the white. The yellow leading edge bands were a little awkward to mask up, but I managed, and I traced the red tail flash from the profile onto tamiya yellow tape and that didn't come out too badly. Outside of the yahu i/p, eduard seatbelts and dead design canopy masks, I used some albion alloys slide fit brass tube for the pitot, as the moulded on pitot I inadvertently broke off. Side by side, the difference in size of the Shinden and the Tojo is obvious.
  20. My latest completion the Hasegawa 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II, I used the Reskit 3D printed Engine Intakes on this, a bit of surgery is required for them but I think they are worth the effort, Aires engine exhausts an Eduard Etched brass in the cockpit. I used the kit decals and finished with MRP and Tamiya Lacquers 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II by Phillip Wilmshurst, on Flickr 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II by Phillip Wilmshurst, on Flickr 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II by Phillip Wilmshurst, on Flickr 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II by Phillip Wilmshurst, on Flickr 1/72 McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II by Phillip Wilmshurst, on Flickr
  21. Hi all, Here's the latest in my Fleet Air Arm jet collection, Hasegawa's aging 1/48 Phantom FG1 with plenty of modifications. This build took six months and there were plenty of additions; Quickboost resin ejection seats, with the ejection handles made from 0.3mm wire Alleycat seamless intakes Master pitot tube and AoA indicator Eduard Brassin Sidewinders and Sparrows ResKit wheels Xtradecal Phantom FG1 decals and stencils The following improvements were made to the kit; Blemishes in the clear parts removed, polished and treated with Klear CAD modelled and 3D printed fuel tanks (the kit ones weren't great) Some minor detail added to the cockpit (gauges and wires) This was my first attempt at completely airbrushing a I used vallejo acrylic primer and Hataka red line Extra Dark Sea Grey for the top, beneath, I started off using Hataka red line white, but soon switched to Tamiya acrylics. The red and white tail decal was the wrong size, so that is airburshed too, the omega symbol was carefully cut out from the decal sheet and applied. Weathering was done using Mig Panel Line Wash as well as oils for some staining underneath. Varnished with Winsor & Newton Galleria Satin acrylic. Molotow liquid chrome was used for the chromed oleos, and this gives a much more realistic finish than using paint - the metallic paint to the aft of the fuselage is Mig's Bare Metal acrylic collection - very chuffed with these. I'm really pleased with this build, it was rather challenging and took quite a few months - I've learnt an awful lot about airbrushing and various weathering techniques - it really does look incredible in my display case with the rest of my Fleet Air Arm jets (Attacker, Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Sea Vixen and Scimitar). I'm excited about having the Ark Royal Phantom and Buccaneer pairing complete in a few more months.... Thanks for looking, now on to my new Airfix Buccaneer Cheers Ben
  22. #20/2022 After the 109 Emil, here´s my dad´s second Luftwaffe subject this year. Hasegawa kit, which comes with an early style and for this version wrongly shaped ETC, took a correct one from an older limited Hasegawa 190 kit. Also this kit has only the late style wheels, took spoked ones from the sparesbox. Eduard seatbelt used, EZ Line for the antenna wires. Fuselage decals are leftovers from the ProModeler 190G-2/3. The cross and triangle applied on the left side were slightly damaged, had to do some paint touch ups. Camo done with MRP RLM74/75/76. For my dad the RLM74 was too much greenish, therefore he mixed it with some more grey. Brake lines done with plastic rods and lead wire, landing gear retraction wire with fishing line. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235113852-mickey-mouse148-focke-wulf-fw190a-5u3-iisg1/ Model shows a 6.Staffel, II.

  23. "Never merge with a Squalo." - Note found on the NATO TLP (Tactical Leadership Programme) bulletin board at Albacete In the 1980's, Italy decided to begin replacing the venerable F-104, and to its credit, it required three aircraft to do so: Tornado for strike, AMX for light attack, and the F-20 as an interceptor. Called 'Squalo' (shark) by its pilots, the F-20 protected NATO's southern flank for two and a half decades while quickly gaining a reputation for dogfighting prowess among allied air forces. This build represents an F-20M in a commemorative paint scheme and typical QRA configuration in its final year of service before being replaced with the Typhoon.
  24. This will be my entry for the 'special schemes' section of this GB. The Hasegawa kit looks pretty nice in the box, it's a special edition that gives you 2 kits and the decals for both the blue and yellow aircraft. I will be doing the blue one and maybe if there is time the yellow.
