Caudron’s little eagle: Caudron C.600 Aiglon, 1:72 SBS model

And here it is: the SBS Caudron 600 - finished within a week. I'm a slow modeler so I say wow! When I came home from the Moson Show I was so full with modeling experiences that I thought I need some time before I can sit down on my chair [...]

Have You got enough Comet at home?

Fiat G.50 Finnish Air Force (Ilmavoimat) 1942 – Secter/Hasegawa 1:48

Hi Everyone! Another "spaghetti" fighter, this time Fiat's attempt to produce something more modern for the "Fighter I" competition than their earlier biplane designs. The "Freccia" (Arrow) in fact was the [...]

Reggiane 2000 serie III. 1:48 SMER (ex Artiplast) + scratch

Hi Everyone! I started this kit as an experiment as I always wanted an 1:48 copy af this little fighter, but beside SMER (Artiplast originated in the early '60s) the only kit in this scale is from CA. I saw this week a Classic Airframes [...]

Updating an old Iwata HP-B

Hi Everyone! I had only little little time to build anything and this post isn't about finished plastic either. I'm an airbrush guy and fond of airbrushing in general and - as I suppose happens frequently such people - I had and I have [...]
