Saab Viggen with “Splinter” camouflage

Many years ago I fell in love with Saab, both aircraft and cars. In September 1974 I flew from Beale AFB to Farnborough in England, in the C-141 support aircraft, as an Air Force artist covering the Lockheed SR-71 record breaking flight [...]

Hello, In fact, i presented you my series of Focke Wulf in exactly the opposite direction of my buildings. Here is my vision of 190 A8-R2 "white 11" 5/jg4 right after it changed ownership ... This is the model Eduard painted with [...]

Arado 196 in 1/32

This is the Revell kit that was issued about three years ago. After a couple of 'clean' photos, I added a (modified) Verlinden figure, inspired by the photo at the end of this series. If you haven't built or otherwise seen this kit, it has [...]

Bell AH-1 Huey Cobra, "The Gremlin".

Hi guys, this is the old Vietnam Huey Cobra in 1:32 scale by Revell. I have no idea how old this kit is, older than me I think, as the it is no longer in production. I managed to find it on E-bay for a bargain price complete with extra [...]

1/32 Tamiya A6M3 Type 22 converted from A6M5 Type 52

I've always loved the late model Zero with the long cowl, but at the same time thought the camo's were kinda boring. Got my hands on Tamiya's great A6M5 kit and decided to convert it to the A6M3 Type 22 flow by Hiroyoshi Nishizawa, Japan's [...]

1/48 Otaki F6-F3 Hellcat

The 1/48 Otaki F6-F3 Hellcat, as old as it is, still makes up into a fine looking model. While comparing this to my new Eduard Weekender kit, there were plenty of subtle differences, but we're talking decades apart, and the Otaki still [...]
