Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is the 'Jug' flown by Capt. Edward O. Fisher of the 377th. FS, 362nd. FG, in 1944.
The kit was built a few years ago but is still one of my favourites. Build was out of the box with Model Master Metalizer paints & Eagle Strike [...]
The Ta-152 was a short-lived high-level interceptor fielded by the Luftwaffe towards the end of WW II. Developed from the existing Fw-190 D fighter family, it incorporated a new wing, lengthened fuselage and to attain high-altitude / high [...]

Painted with Vallejo Acrylics, [...]
My first ever in 1/72 scale, simply because the 1/48 scale one wouldn't fit into my display case. I bought it at a local hobby competition for peanuts really and I thought of it as an easy, relaxing build. The kit itself is really nice, [...]

Being very basic, I did a lot of extra [...]
This is Hasegawa's 1/48 scale rendition of the famous 'Desert Snake' Stuka flown by Leutnant Hubert Polz from Tmimi on the Libyan coast in 1941. Polz was later transferred to the Russian Front where he won the coveted Knight's Cross and [...]
