Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Yellow 5 flown by Horst Petzschler.

This is the old Revell 1:48 scale Bf 109 G-10 with wings from Fujimi's 109 series (The more modern issue from the 1990ies). This is my representation of the plane flown by Horst Petzschler. This is what Horst Petzschler later told about [...]

De Havilland Mosquito PR.XVI Airfix 1/72 25th Bomb Group Rcn England 1944.

(link) This is my summary project of the entire model section regarding Operation Frantic, i.e. the mission From England and Italy to Soviet-occupied Ukraine in 1944. This time it was a special mission, because Frantic VII was a supply [...]

Halberstadt CL. IV, (Rol.) Mirage Hobby, 1:48, Ltn. Hans-Joachim Rath, Schlasta 5

A very nicely made model with lots of small details and a realistic surface. However, this is a more demanding construction, due to the fact that all parts (even the small ones) are attached to the frame at four and six points. Removing [...]

TBD-1 Devastator month

My last project for TBD Devastator month is repainting my old (2017) George Gay 8-T-14 TBD into the correct colors and markings for Lt Cdr James Brett’s T-1 on the Lexington at Coral Sea. I had two sets of T1 decals, but neither had [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Kit #61070 1998 (new parts added)

Sino-Japanese War...1/48 Beechcraft D17 Staggerwing, Chinese Nationalist Airforce

So, here´s my dad´s latest completion. Typical Roden kit so it didn´t turn out "perfect". Markings with Iliad Design decals. Seems nobody knows the Chinese camo colours, if they had any specific ones. Usually in kit and decal [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51B Mustang

Hot off the bench is the classic Tamiya P-51B that still represents a very nice model. However, I am looking forward to seeing Eduard's' new P-51B release so as to make a comparison between the two. Typical Tamiya, parts fit and the only [...]
