1/72 scale aircraft ww2 - present, mostly military.
RAF Chinook used during the Falkland War built from the Italeri CH-47(HC.1) kit no 064. Built straight from the box, but modified some details according to the photos I found on the net of this Chinook. Still there might be some mistakes [...]
I built this from the original Matchbox kit (2 colour) that was issued in the mid 1970's. I don't know if it was ever issued under Revell (it seems not). The decals had the usual residue of the Matchbox decals of the era when applying [...]
This is Revell boxing of the now quite old Academy Catalina, the amphibian PBY-5A version. Built mostly straight out of the box, with the Revell decals which although a bit thick performed quite well. The roundels on the nose/cockpit sides [...]
Fujimi "Sunday Punchers" Boxing of their wide range of A-6's in 1/72. Straight from the box with kit decals, which weren't the best (as usual with Fujimi) and were very thick and difficult to comform to compound surfaces.
This is a boxing by a company named IDEA, but it is essentially the Academy kit, I think, as I do not have the academy kit, but the sprues are the same as photos on the net of the Academy kit. Quite good fitting parts, but I decided to [...]
This is Trumpeter's Su-27UB built straight from the box except for the decals. Decals came from Linden Hill Snow Leopards of The Seven Rivers Kazakhstan (LHD72023). Camouflage pattern is sprayed freehand using a Paasche VSR90 with fine [...]
These are the Revell and Tamiya Fw-190's in 72nd scale. Both are built with the included decals and finished as per kits' instructions. The Revell kit is quite good in fit and details but may have a somewhat small engine cowling, but for [...]
Up to a few years ago, this was regarded as the most accurate Flanker in 1/72nd scale by many modellers. There was the Hasegawa kit which although much superior in build quality and surface detail, had some terrible inaccuracies. I built [...]
Another oob build. This is said to be more accurate than the Tamiya version but not as easy going as the Tamiya. Still it is not difficult to build, and would recommended it.
Built straight from the box using two sets of kit decals. Green areas are airbrushed and only used the black outlines from the decals. Also, the black outlines are modified from the Fujimi instructions to reflect the few photos of this [...]
