Hi folks,

Trumpeter 1/48 Mig 21UM
A well photographed Croat Mig Mongol that I thought would be a weekend project, but remained un-finished for some time. As it turned out the problem was not with the kit.
Trumpeter's Mig 21UM is a good kit. By comparison in terms of [...]
Trumpeter 1/16, PZ.IV J , 31Pz.Rgt, East Prussia – October 1944
Whew... finally, after 190 hours and 9 months of work, another model from the Trumpeter stable is finished. This time it's Pz.IV J with 31 Pz.Rgt 5Pz.Div. from the time of fighting in East Prussia in the fall of 1944. I added captured [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 Bruckenleger IV

1/48 Hawker Sea Fury
Two models of 3 makes. The one is Trumpeter and Hobbycraft kit bashed. The second is the more recent Airfix kit. The Airfix kit is superior to the other kits. However, the wing fold mechanism is basic In all, both kits look cool when [...]

Trumpeter 1/35 long track P-40 S-Band acquisition radar
The combination of the giant AT-T mover and a large radar dish make an imposing and realistic looking model. The building process is straight forward. I was tempted to paint the model with the attractive 3 tones Russian camouflage scheme. [...]
Navy Revolt...1/48 Grumman F9F-2B Panther, Comando de la Aviación Naval Argentina
My dad continues with the Latin American subjects.
Hobbycraft edition of the HC/Trumpeter co-developed F9F-2 kit. For the wingtip lightnings and air-intake warning decals my dad used some from a Printscale sheet, had to cut them apart to [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 280mm K5(E) Leopold Railroad gun
Another Trumpeter winner, positioned with 1/72 Dora railroad gun. It is hard to believe that the Dora was twice as big as the formidable Leopold.
No building issues with this kit. Highly recommend
