Here is my Tamiya P-47d finished as a 73 sqn OTU machine in Egypt 1944 -1945. This is my third 73 sqn Thunderbolt! Used aftermarket LPS decals. Decent decals. Tough but snuggle down well. What can you say about a Tamiya kit? Very quick [...]

by Chas Bunch on July 17, 2025 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Here's my latest fantasy build. It's the L-20A/U-6a Beaver (DHC-2) from Dora Wings in 1:48. One of their best kits in my opinion, good fit all around. The kit offers decals for 4 military versions, along with a. set of skis (without [...]

This is the Hasegawa kit finished with Tamiya and Mr. Color lacquers. The decals are from Berna for an aircraft of the 202nd Kokutai at Rabaul West in 1942. I finished it up with a Testors semi-gloss clear coat. The only thing I added [...]

by Alistair Gauld on July 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Another superbly fitting kit from Airfix. My Nephew chose the scheme for this and advised me last night that he wanted it to be a clean build. So, clean it is. Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. Painted With Colourcoats [...]

Halberstadt D.II, 1:32, Lukgraph, Oblt. Stefan Kirmaier, Jasta 2, 11 victories.

by Milan Tesař on July 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

One of my more challenging builds. The center struts were short, and they cracked, so I had to make new ones. The upper wing mounting was also one of the more challenging. Otherwise, a very good kit with clear instructions. I only added or [...]
