Some small scale stuff

Here's some small kits i put together. The apache and the Viggen are in 1/144 scale, and the others are even smaller scales. They are from the top: AH-64D Longbow apache B-1B Tu-144 'Concordskij' SAAB 37 Viggen prototype Ariane, ESA's [...]

Hughes 500 Defender T.O.W. 1/48

This is academys 1/48 kit of the Hughes 500D with TOW anti-tank missiles. A very nice kit to build and there is a number of different kits using the same basic moulds. It has good detail and a good fit. I built it almost out of the box, I [...]

BAE Hawk 1/72 Italeri

This is Italeris kit of the Finnish version of BAE Hawk. It has somewhat better detailing than the usual Italeri kits. I only did some minor detailing and weathering with a graphite pencil.

F-20 Tigershark 1/72 Hasegawa

This is another nice kit from Hasegawa, built out of the box. Unfortunatley I used Johnson floorpolish as clear coat on this model, and put too thick layers of it, so the polish has cracked in some places (you can see it under the cockpit [...]

Gavia 1/48 Polikarpov Po-2

Hello! Another model of the box - at that time it Po-2, owned by Aviation border troops of the USSR, the 50s of the last century. Built with little or no modifications, only slightly fiddled with wing-racks. Online not so many models of [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b

Hasegawa's excellent Typhoon made better with the inclusion of Barracuda cockpit, wheels and exhaust, invasion stripes, roundels and fin flashes were painted with the Montex Masks, I'm really liking these masks.

SAAB J35ö Draken 1/72

This is the Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit of the Austrian version of J35 Draken. It is a splendid kit and a joy to build. It is built out of the box, with the pitot tube replaced with stainless wire.

P-51D Mustang 1/72

This is an old Airfix kit that I put together some years ago and tested some weathering techniques on it. The kit and its detail is not so good, but I was happy with the result of the weathering and the worn look of it. I gave it a base [...]

Vultee Vengeance Part II

Hello guys I am sorry for not been posting these photos before. My father has been working hard on this sub collection. He has made 14 models so far and we believe that final number will be around 22 models. To be honest with you I [...]

Our Spitfires. Revell 1/72nd

Well, a happy Xmas to all . Here are some pics of a pair of Spitfires my wife and I built. I posted them as I thought it might be of interest to those SWMBO. The kits were Revell 1/72 Spitfires Vb`s, which were basic kits. The fit was not [...]
