1/144 scale aircraft :
« on: May 01, 2018, 07:29:13 PM »
Have recently started building 1/144 scale aircraft.  It has certainly rekindled the modelling mojo.  I really like this scale despite the fact I need to wear my glasses to work on them now.  Anyways have decided to start a thread where they can all be kept in the one place, 
First up some I did a while ago.

Ansett BAe-146.  Revell Kit with aftermarket decals


Western Airlines DC-3.  Academy



Fairey Battle.  Zvezda


and the latest.  La-5FN.  Zvezda

Those are some real beauties! You have an enviable talent for air liners. I've built the DC-3 myself but yours is much nicer.

The Battle and La-5 are little gems as well. I especially like the look of the tinted canopy against that famous RAF camo.

I think 1/144 is an under-appreciated scale and it's a treat to see your outstanding results with it!

Yet more little lovelies! The Sturmovik is great but that Stuka is really sweet!

Not only is the canopy framing impressive but my what a sleek, streamlined undercarriage!

Sometimes spats are even better in a smaller scale!

Thanks Fellas.  Enjoying this scale right now. 

Finally have finished one of the New Cap city helicopters/ autogyro, whatever it is, although not in the scale I started with.   Made from the Zevzda Bf109.  Engine cowling is a 1/72 Chaffee road wheel.  Rotor hubs are 1/72 Sherman road wheel with cut down 1/72 B-17 prop hubs.  Booms are a combination of brass and plastic rod.  Rotor blades are cut down from a 1/72 chopper.

Wow your Cap City helicopter is fantastic!

I think your work on those rotor hubs really paid off! They look most convincing!

You mentioned another thing I like about 1/144, that larger-scale wheels and other doo-dads can be used. Helps keep the spares box from exploding.

Great stuff!

Well, some more work on the "bloody paralyser of an aeroplane".   The kit only came with the roundels so the other markings were obtained from the spares box.  I managed to find my E-Z line so an attempt at rigging will be made tomorrow.

Thanks fellas.  Still disappointed it isn't QANTASLink.  Really going to have to get another.

The QantasLink scheme is very dramatic but this airBaltic bird looks a treat  :smiley:

Thanks.
 It's more that the Q400's are the ones QANTAS use locally.

Those are some sweet little gems, Cam!

I especially like that you built two adversaries like that and your talent in small scales is to be envied indeed!

Both look fantasic! I know Sweet makes an A6M, but who made the F2A?

Okay, fess up; you leave the canopies on the floor at night and little tiny elves paint the framing for you.

My eyes go buggy doing that in larger scales.

I still could do better, but can't do anything on them without my reading glasses
