Links to Aircraft Modelling
Sites, Hobby Shops and Aviation in General
Aircraft
Resource Center
An excellent site with articles, reviews, an extensive
walkaround section and a new joke everyday in the "Test
Post Clubhouse". Some of them are actually funny!
They do have a lot of Canadian content which guarantees
them hero biscuits in my little world.
Hyperscale
They really should rename this site "The 1/48 Luftwaffe
Modellers Page", as that seems to be what the majority
of the content is focussed on. Nonetheless, still a good
site with lots of reference material, modelling articles
and a gallery. There's also a large discussion forum and
buy & sell postings for both aircraft and armour modellers.
Internet
Modeler
A monthly web magazine with excellent reviews, in box
previews, build articles etc. Covers aircraft, ships,
armour, cars, figures, decals, accessories, and books.
I really like this site but I do have one question: Why
do americans insist on spelling 'Modeller' with only one
'L'? Same reason the Brits stick an extra 'i' in aluminum
or specialty I guess.
IPMS Sites
IPMS
Canada
Home of the Sweating Beaver - and if that isn't a reason
to visit this site then you need to spend less time in
front of your computer.
IPMS
UK
Jolly old England, where a mysterious creature known as
the "Anorak" compiles volumes of train and/or
aircraft registrations with no apparent purpose, and modellers
have an unhealthy obsession with the E.E. Canberra. Why?!?
IPMS Racing & Record Aircraft Special Interest Group
I'm not sure if this SIG still exists, but at one time
it was an excellent group. It would appear the website
hasn't been updated since 2021, though there is still
some useful information on there if you like your aircraft
low-flying and fast.
IPMS
Stockholm
One of the best IPMS sites around, and I'm not just saying
that because I have a thing for Swedish stewardesses.
Sorry, "flight attendants".
Online Hobby Shops & Manufacturers
Thunderbird
Models
My own little online shop live and on the air! Specialising
in WWI and biplanes but ultimately I hope to have a comprehensive
stock of all eras and interests. Please check it out,
order lots and get me out of my day job!
Khee-Kha
Art Products
Really nice 1/72nd scale vac form kits of bush planes
from the much neglected Golden Age of aviation. Also produces
resin Edo floats and Wright J-6 Whirlwind engines.
Karaya
The service and selection you get from this Polish shop
is outstanding, and their line of 1/48 perforated .50
caliber gun barrels are very nice.
