The 1/48 Republic F-84G Thunderjet in French service from Tamiya

Hello everyone, For the rest of the series 2004-2005 constructions, I present you a F-84G who served in the French Air Force (2/33 savoie). This version is modified for reconnaissance missions. Thank you all, Sincerely, Eric.

SPAD VII.c.1

As 2014 approaches, and with it the centenary of the onset of the Great War, I thought I'd post a few photos of one of the principal aircraft of the conflict, in the livery of one of its greatest pilots. This is Roden's 1/32 kit of Georges [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 Vampire FB Mk. 5

As a memento of the IPMS/UK 50th Anniversary Tour, and being unable to model a massive bout of constipation, and unwilling to spend £40 for one of the Alleycat kits, I purchased the new Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk. 5, when I got home. Little [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Supermarine Seafire LF Mk. III

One that almost became the second occupant of the shelf of doom. Why, you ask? I was about half way through when Tom Cleaver published his authoritative "Frankenspit", and I knew all was lost. Eventually built OOB, it came [...]

Otaki 1/48 (Ki-61) “Hieney Racer”

I always thought the Ki-61 was one of Japan's sleekest looking WWII fighters. German desigined and Daimler-Benz powered, it was built by Kawasaki, and named the "Hien". The cost of an Otaki kit was reasonable enough that I [...]

Here’s to old RAF jets! 1/32 DeHavilland Venom NF.3, 151 Sqn, RAF

This is the old Matchbox 1/32 kit, which could be built as a RAF version, or a Fleet Air Arm Sea Venom. It is another of those kits that I “started in the City, and finished in the country”, but this time it’s one that I only [...]

Sopwith-Snipe 1/72 Восточный Экспресс / ex-TOKO

My new job. Sopwith Snipe, pilot Sapozhnikov. Ace of civil war. Sincerely, Vlad.

DeHaviland Sea Vixen FAW2

Another 1/48 Airfix 'Fighter All Weather' representative, on the back of Tom's recent Jav post. No photos of the cockpit areas. Although detailed, they are truely 'coal holes' and not supportive of pretty pictures.
