Lightning White 33

Here's my take on Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning model. The kit gives you the choice of building either Miss Virginia (P-38 G) or White 33 (P-38F). Despite the historical significance of Miss Virginia and the mission to shoot-down [...]

Erosion Never SleepsBristol Beaufighter Nightfighter

After looking at my Beaufighter for five months, I decided that it needed a little roughing-up. So I broke-out the thinner, some swabs, and a bottle of Model Master chrome silver paint and went to town. Along the way, I managed to break [...]

Under New Management...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-4 Soviet Airforce

Built in 2017. On January 13th 1943, Unteroffizier Helmut Brandt of 2./JG54 was forced down by Soviet fighters and he made a crash landing on the frozen Lake Ladoga where he became a POW. The Soviets restored the aircraft to airworthy [...]

Italian Stallion...1/48 Macchi MC.205 Veltro, Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana

Review: Hobby Boss 1/48 MV-22 Osprey Review

P-51D-5 Mustang by Eduard in 1/48.

My first model for 2021. Very happy with the result although it took me much longer to complete than usual. I have a good many Mustangs in this scale & was looking forward to a trouble free build on this one, which is my first [...]

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire MkI

New Eduard edition,first of two finished. Enjoyable build, minor fitting problems with fuselage-wing joint. Strange experience with new Eduard decals.

Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6 JG 300 Hobbycraft 1/48

Oldie but goodie...

Nakajima Type 11, Early production (Irving), Tamiya 1/48

Okay, I must admit I had forgotten what Tamiya stands for. Abundance of detail, no flash, perfect fit (I didn't use any glue for the landing gear...). I used Eduard's p.e. set, a value for money set that provides lots of extra details. I [...]

F-104G Starfighter

Hello again colleagues. I bring you a kit that I really wanted to do. It's the Hasegawa F-104, a fabulous kit, no problem. I recommend it 100%. I hope you like the result.
