Siemens-Schuckert D.III, Eduard, 1:48, Vzfw. Fritz Beckhardt. Kesta 46, 17 victories.
Pleasant construction, only the placement of the lower wing is a little more difficult than with the older edition of this model. Also, the color of the lozenges of the upper surfaces seemed a bit questionable to me, but then I saw a [...]
Curtiss CW-22B
Here's my CW-22B from Dora Wings in 1:48. It was a fairly easy build, it just needed a little thinning of the cockpit tub at the rear for a good fit. I used a section of an old bomb to make a spacer between the engine and firewall, as I [...]
P-47B
Here's my early P-47B from Dora Wings in 1:48 I finished awhile back and just got around to taking some photos. This is one of their better kits in my opinion, everything fit well except the top and bottom wings at the wing root. The [...]
Witchcraft, The Enchanted Liberator
Here’s my build of “Witchcraft”, the enchanted B-24H Liberator of the 467th Bomb Group. The kit is Monogram’s 1:48 B-24J that I picked up at a bargain table for $5.00 at a contest a few years ago. There were no decals, and someone [...]
Albatros D.III, Oeffag (153.106), 1:48, Eduard, Lt. Franz Gräser, Flik 61J, 18 victories
I present another Oeffag model, this time from the 106 series. The propeller cone started to be removed from these series, due to constant problems with it falling off very often in flight. About the Albatross of the Austro-Hungarian Air [...]
Super Bug
Other than the Harpoon missiles, what you see here is exactly what comes in the (very substantial) Meng box... and IMHO is one of the best 1:48 kits available today. Everything fits perfectly, I don't recall using anything more than a [...]
P-40M-10-CU 43-5925
This is the story of Curtiss P-40M 43-5925, which was part of a lend-least shipment to the Soviet Union in late 1943. It was given Soviet markings and designated "White 23" and was assigned to the 191st IAP (Istrebitel'ny [...]
Pfalz D.III, Eduard, 1:48, Vfw. Hecht, Jasta 10,
This is Eduard's first Pfalz release and one of my early models, when I didn't use tensioners and made the strings from threads pulled from women's stockings.
Vizefeldwebel Hecht's aircraft of Jasta 10, was forced to land behind British [...]
It's a HEMI!
Here’s my latest build, the Halberd XP-47H conversion. It’s an awesome conversion, the Halberd fuselage and Tamiya wings, spars, tailplanes, cockpit and canopy are all a perfect fit.
The recent post by Tom Clever covers the history of [...]
