Gallery #3 – P-40E Força Aérea Brasileira

We love unusual marking on famous planes, it’s our main weakness, we admit it.

This P-40E was the first received by FAB (Brazilian Air Force) as part of a Lend Lease Agreement. It was serial numbered FAB 01 (or just 01) and later FAB 4020. It is seen here in the RAF camouflage. They arrived in late 1942.

The kit is from the 1/144 P-40 series made by AFV Club. It has an excellent superficial finish but some lack of detail in the cockpit, air intake, and landing gears. The model was built straight from the box, with our decals.

Gallery #2 – F4D-1 Skyray

A new gallery entry today! This time an F4D-1 Skyray from Death Dealers VMF(AW)-114 in its last operational years in 1962.

The 1/144 model is a resin kit produced by Miniwing. The kit is simple but well detailed, the distinctive shape of the plane is well caught.

To represent it durin a low pass above the sea were used a pilot and a motion effect base. The pose is very dynamic and the illusion of movement works very well!

Gallery #1 – CV-67 Deck Diorama

We start our first Gallery post, a collection of our and your works made with Heroes Models products.

The first entry was an incredible work made by Stefano De Rensis. This detailed diorama in 1/144 scale represents the flight deck of the CV-67 J.F.Kennedy carrier during its Gulf War cruise.

An A-7E Corsair, in one of the last operational missions of this plane, is being prepared to start a bombing mission. All the elements in the diorama convey the feeling of the activity on the carrier deck, someone works, someone talks, someone is getting bored.

The aircraft kit was modified with wings folding and opened ladder, the tow bar is made from scratch. The tug tractor is a Brengun kit.

The great choice of composition and the accurate paintwork make this diorama really enjoyable.
