Dad finished the next one. The first of an upcoming Firefly trio. Trumpeter kit wih decals from the Special Hobby Firefly Foreign Post War Users kit. Used seats with molded on seatbelts from Quickboost, which seem slightly undersized. The [...]

Badmash...1/48 Lockheed F-104A Starfighter, Pakistan Airforce

My dad continues with the Asian silverbords. Kinetic kit (some fit problems with the 3-part air intakes and the avionics bay cover, rest was ok) with Iliad Design decals. Added some Eduard PE belts to the kit seat. MRP Super Silver for the [...]

Arab Snake...1/48 Bell AH-1F/S Cobra, Royal Jordanian Airforce

One of my dad´s rare excursions to the helicopter world. Revell Germany´s 2009 edition of the initially 1986 released Monogram kit, regarding it´s age it isn´t that bad. Didn´t want to do the Sand Shark or a single coloured Israeli [...]

Asian Canis...1/48 North American F-86D Sabre Dog, Philippine Airforce

Fast Canis Lupus...1/20 Wolf WR 1 1977

After a longer pause, my dad finished another race car. Tamiya kit, first released in 1978, this is the 2010 edition with Cartograf decals. Sadly they didn´t perform as used to, so painted all the gold on the main body with Gunze H9 Gold. [...]

Siam Spit...1/48 Supermarine Spitfre FR.XIVe, Royal Thai Airforce

Suggesting my dad most of the time more rarely seen or exotic schemes. So here´s his latest effort. Academy Special Edition kit version, decals form the kit and Siam Scale, added Eduard seatbelts, rocket mounts and bomb racks. Painted [...]

Sino-Japanese War...1/48 Beechcraft D17 Staggerwing, Chinese Nationalist Airforce

So, here´s my dad´s latest completion. Typical Roden kit so it didn´t turn out "perfect". Markings with Iliad Design decals. Seems nobody knows the Chinese camo colours, if they had any specific ones. Usually in kit and decal [...]
