Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
It is still June 6th over here so here is my contribution.
It is Mn317/ZYB of No. 247 (China British) Sqn., 124 Wing as of June 1944.
Late in the build I convinced myself that it was a 3-blade prop not a 4-blade like came with the kit. It [...]
My own D-Day Group Build contribution (an RAF Mustang Mk. III) suffered serious production delays, but at least I can contibute to the Anniversary celebration with some freshly taken photos of one of my older models.
This is a 1/72 [...]
Finished this one last week.
The Hasegawa Ki-61 kit with the Alleycat Ki-100 resin fuselage. A first glance at the resin gave me the impression that I was in for an easy build. Nice panel lines, no bubbles, nice detail. The stuff looks the [...]

It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]

In this case he is dealing with the huge AW 27 Ensing. A friend of us will make the decals for the BOAC Albatross and [...]
Here is the kit that got my on my large-scale building bing, the mighty Hasegawa 109G-6! I built this kit very soon after it came out back in 2002 and is still in my collection, along with 2 others I've built since. Yes the kit has a few [...]
