I live in Durbanville, South Africa.
Build mostly 1/32.
There has probably been more misinformation published on 64-0829 than almost any other Phantom. I have tried to build this jet as it may have looked on the 30th March 1967 when the then Col. Robin Olds led a low level strike against the [...]
Aeritala/Lockheed F104 S ASA MM609
37° Stormo 18° Gr ( Trapani-Birgi 1991)
This jet is in a once off experimental "low vis" scheme before the lighter gray overall scheme was adopted.

ZM Skraider built OOB with the exception of some improvements to the Yankee Extraction System and seat. There were also one or two minor tweaks. I still however need to add a scratch 150gal tank for the starboard inner wing pylon but that [...]
This 105 is built to represent a jet flown by Capt. Vic Vizcarra, from the 354th TFS, Takhli, RTAFB, September-November 1966. Destroyed in a ground accident on 16/12/68 during overhual at a depot on Tinian, Taiwan.

I'm not an armour builder and it's been over 40yrs since I built any armour, but I thought that I would give this kit a go as a deviation from aircraft.
IDF Tiran 5 in the earlier Sinai grey scheme circa 1980's.
My recently completed Corsair with a few extras added. Unfortunately the aerial rigging got washed out in the photo, but it's there.
This was a wonderful model to build.
My recently completed Tiffy built to represent an aircraft flown by Wing Commander Charles Green operating out of B.5 Advanced Landing Ground in Normandy, June 1944.
The aircraft is loaded with a mixed bag of fragmentation and 60lb HE [...]
