Vought F4U-1D Corsair – US Navy VF-84 – USS Bunker Hill - Febr.1945

Bonjour chers iModelers, I am glad to introduce my latest model, a very classic Corsair from VF-84, but I wanted it on my shelf. It is the well-known Tamiya kit which is, despite of its age, a more than excellent kit. My first try with [...]

Westland Sea King Har. 3/Mk. 43

Hello again guys. Another completed project. It is the Sea King 1/72 from Airfix. The model is quite good, good details and two very attractive versions. As always I hope you like the result. See you soon.

П-42 (P-42 “Streak Flanker”) (1/144 Trumpeter)

May I present you the P-42 (former T-10-15 Su-27 demonstrator modified to set time to climb records) in 1/144 scale. Base kit is Trumpeter, with some chopping done to align with the original airframe. Anything that was not essential to the [...]

FW-190A8 5.JG 301. Eduard profi pack 1/72

I'm back on Imodeler to present my summer project. The model has been build OOB, except, for the flap scratch build, rescribing pannel line, and rivetting the surfaces. I paint all national insigna, Reich defense band and walk away, using [...]

RF-84F Thunderflash, Heller 1/48

Hallo again! Here is my 2nd article. RF-84F Thunderflash, German Air Force, 1959. A lovely aircraft for me. The kit is the old Heller with raised lines. A nice kit, but the decals are a little fat. The cameras are handmade. Of course every [...]

Gloster Meteor, the nose job one.

What is it with Airfix and noses? Their Sea Fury i just completed recently is a bit of a shocker and now this. I suppose it keeps one busy instead of just stick part a to part b type of deal, but it is a tad annoying. Anyway, besides that [...]

Monogram 1/48 AD-6 backdated to an AD-3 of VMA 212 in Korea

This started out as OOB build using kit decals. Unfortunately they were toast and did not cooperate when being applied. I used Euro decals for the Skyraider and they were excellent. I scratchbuilt the early AERO bomb racks then added [...]

The Aftermarket Trap: Italieri Reggiane 2002.

The Italieri 1/48th scale Reggiane Re.2002 kit is "fine." It's a "fine" kit that goes together with no fit issues and you can slap paint on it and be happy with it. But "fine" stops at being a model kit that [...]

What-if… RAAF Dassault Rafale

This is the second in a series of ‘what if’ aircraft that I’m building. In 1999 the Australian Department of Defence announced Project AIR 6000 "New Air Combat Capability (NACC)", which was intended to find a replacement [...]
