1/72 Yakovlev Yak-3 Revell

This is a 1/72 scale Yakovlev Yak-3 by Revell in the colours of a machine from 18. GIAP, East Prussia, 1945. This was a pretty straight-forward build OOB. Everything fit together pretty nicely. I was well impressed with the full colour, [...]

F-14D Tamiya

Aloha My latest work. While with some errors I should have fixed, I am happy how it turned out as I don`t build jets. For additions, I installed Aires seats, did a bit of wiring and used Fightertown decals. AMK can go F itself, this one is [...]

DH Mosquito FB Mk VI Tamiya 1/48

Here is a build that was a real learning experience for me. I built it out of the box without photo etch and used the kit decals with serial number rearranged to represent an aircraft of Coastal Command - flown by Flight Lieutenant Nunn [...]

1/72 Mig-21MF ExYu Golija manoeuvres 1976.

Well, You got Ak 47, You got Mig21… They are here for so long, and they are so effective and today. Mig 21 was some kind of answer for American and Nato planes, I’m in love with F4s, but they are now abandoned, but Mig 21 is still in [...]
