Wing modeller, father of 4 and a Luftwaffe enthusiast…all my hobbies in no particular order
After completing Tamiya’s 109 G-6 some time ago I was exhausted about building more Messerschmitts, but amidst a P-51 build I had an urge to grab again a one O nine, but this time I chose a more colorful scheme, one from the eastern front JG.54.[...]
After 8 months running, this Group Build, dedicated to all fiercely looking jaws that embellished weapons from the dawn of mankind up to the present day, comes to an end over the last day of February.
Some 38 iModelers joined the group but only[...]
My last build of 2019 is the excellent 190A-8 in 1/48 scale from Eduard, released sometime this year.

By chance, or should I say, by Google app I managed to retrieve some long lost photos of the Junkers 88 nightfighter I did back in early 2013 or so. This kit had a resin nose from Quickboost in order to replicate one of the few “Berlin” radar do[...]
