Three things accompany and fascinate me throughout my life: history, the fine arts and the fascination of aeroplanes and ships. In the many aspects of model making, these fascinations come together quite happily.
In this respect, I take the freedom to build anything and in any scale that occupies me. In practice, these are mainly aircraft in 1:48 and 1:32 scale, but lately the 1:72 and even the 1:144 scale have developed a great fascination for me.
As a child of the 1970s, I am aware of the scale in which the offers, possibilities and demands in plastic modelling have developed: we are living in truly great times... aren't we?
This model building project proved to be a tough nut to crack. In order to adapt the kit to my expectations, some changes had to be made, the most important of which I will briefly address in the following: shortening of the main landing [...]
I did chose to build a RAF Mustang Mk. III, the decals have been taken from the kit.
I hope you like the outcome and the pictures!
Recently, I have decided to once again tackle a rather problem-free construction. Having Airfix's 1:24 P-51 on my workbench and two 1:32 Mustangs from Revell and Trumpeter, I chose the Tamiya kit. A few etched parts from Eduard freshened [...]

Quite a pleasure to build, even when not being a rigging expert, as is the case with me.
By the way, for the wires I used etched [...]
I would like to show you pictures of two B-25G in 1:48 which are currently under construction.
Both are based on the excellent Accurate Miniatures shapes and are equipped with different after market parts.
At the moment I have closed all [...]
Just finished!
I am rather glad that I could belly-land this stricken project... Problems did not only arouse around the work with the Resin parts, more challenging was the Italeri-kit itself. Uff, done!
I have adapted the diameter of the [...]
This is a very special Hurricane: the last to have been produced, one of the last still flying, a film star... and it played its role in a great love that should not be...
I m using the Hasegawa kit of this racing Hurricane to reproduce [...]
Hello, I'd like to introduce a Triplett Saab J 21 Tunnan by Pilot Replicas in 1:48 that I'm currently working on.
Two of them will be in flawless markings on their own wheels, while the third one is planned as a rather weathered gate-guard [...]
