1:48th scale modelling

Kittyhawk Mk. Ia in 1/48 scale

I built this back in 2018, but just came across it during some tidying up and thought it might be worth sharing. It's the venerable AMT/Ertl P-40K kit, released in 1996, the second of their own moldings for a semi-modular series of the [...]

Late War...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-14, Hauptmann Franz Wienhusen, CO IV./JG4

A baby with amazing talents: Grunau Baby IIb school glider

To the original: Grunau Baby IIb Who would have thought that this small and inconspicuous glider was capable of setting world records? Especially when the type name "Baby" doesn't exactly conjure up images of great importance or [...]

Sopwith Pup, Eduard 1:48, flown Arnold Jacques Chadwick, 5 Sqn. RNAS, 11 victories

A few years ago I got two wrecks from a friend which his son hastily put together, a Sopwith Pup and a Sopwith Triplane from old Eduard. Due to the lack of these kits on the market and also because I was sorry to throw them away, I tried [...]

B-29 1/48 scale full metal skin

Well after 275 hours of building this B-29 is complete, minus the livery which arrives soon. Each individual panel is painstakingly done in aluminum. This is my fourth all metal skin build, and by far my most ambitious! If I never see [...]

Airco DH. 5, 1:48. Fenix, flown Cpt. Roy Williams, 41 Sqn. RFC

I've got a few models to finish, but until that's done I'm going to keep showing the planes I've built over the last year since I got back into modeling. DH. 5 from Fénix looks very good at first glance. Unfortunately, the very detailed [...]

It's been awhile since I've posted here, life sometimes gets in the way, so here's my 24th P-40 to add to my collection. Although it's a Hobbycraft kit they use the old AMT molds for their rendition of a P-40F. Since I've build several AMT [...]
