Them Jets with the turbine engines can cost upward of $3,000 you'd have to love your hobby at those prices.

My mate has one with a mini jet engine on the back, it's a model F-22. 8ft wingspan? how about a model plane faster then most cars! :D

Geez, they're about as extreme as my grandma's hot cocoa drink. Check my channel for the real extreme stuff! :-)

Nice models ... I always wanted to get an r/c aircraft but I bet after the first flight I won't be able to use it again - at least not after the hard crash when trying to get it down to the ground, hahaha
rmanddd ( Jun 04 2009 at 03:37 )

Good job real planes don't fly like that as I don't think people would get on them to start with lol.

I could use one of those, I've got a Maggie in my back yard and i would love to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Woo! I wanna fly one of em'!
I’ve wanted to own this model for a long time now, and I finally got it – the E-2C “Hawkeye” JASDF version by Hasegawa, in 1:72 scale. This is of course, the version used by the Japanese air force (or air defence unit), and it is really quite big for a 1/72 scale kit.
The quality looks good, with recessed panel lines, although I know this is not really a “new’ kit. I’ll be building this kit in “flying” position so all that extra detail for the landing gear is really wasted on me.
The F-117A is a must-have in any scale aircraft model collection. Just like the Blackbird, it’s an iconic aircraft not just for it’s day, but even now. My kit is from Hasegawa, in 1/72 scale. I’m really excited to build this aircraft, and by looking at the manual it seems like a relatively straightforward process. The entire fuselage and wing area is made up of only a handful of parts.
One of the most iconic aircraft ever built, the Blackbird is both striking and mysterious at the same time. Owning a model of the Blackbird has to be on the top of any aircraft modeller’s list.
I got mine, after waiting for so long. The SR-71A Blackbird in 1/72 scale, again from Hasegawa, who in [...]

After my last post about the 1/72 scale aircraft carrier model, Simon pointed out in the comments that there’s something even better. It will blow your mind – a 1/72 scale RC (remote controlled) USS Nimitz aircraft carrier model.
See the entire set of the 1/72 scale RC Nimitz aircraft carrier here.

Some big mistakes I did while building this kit:
Scribed the panel lines too deep, and without a proper ruler (freehand)
My first attempt painting with lacquer paints left a lot of webby residue – I didn’t thin the paint properly
I didn’t spray a layer of clear lacquer before using the ProModeller weathering wash
I didn’t [...]

About the same time I completed my P-51D Mustang, I also “completed” my F9F-8 Cougar. This was another “practise” model kit so I’m pretty ok with the results. Although the model is off balance and the nose always gets lifted up, it was a real learning experience doing this kit. It’s wasn’t the highest quality [...]

This is one of my first modelling projects with aircraft – the P-51D Mustang by Italeri. Although it looks pretty ok in these pictures, I know better. I made a lot of mistakes with this model kit, including:
Using the wrong combination of acrylic / lacquer paints
I fogged up the cockpit / canopy clear parts
I [...]

This is my new Hasegawa F-15E Strike Eagle modelled after the Iraqi Freedom versions. I’ve always wanted to own a F-15 model aircraft and the one by Hasegawa looks great.
The model kit itself is of excellent quality, good details and over 190 parts so you know it’s pretty detailed. I can’t wait [...]

I never bought a Tamiya aircraft kit before, so I was pretty excited to get my new F/A-18E Super Hornet. The Tamiya kit looks to be of much better quality than most of the Hasegawa kits I’ve bought so far. To start with the plastic feels much smoother and solid. The seam lines are [...]

A couple of weeks back I got two plastic clamps from Excel, which cost about $2 I think. Initially I thought it would be great to use them to hold two pieces together when I glued them.
However, I found them to be quite flimsy and I think it’s way better to use a tape of [...]
