Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello everyone,
after the Mirage IIIC, I present the Mirage F1C-200. This is the old model Esci 1/48 on which I added landing metal FM brand trains. The pilot resin is PJ brand.
Thank you again and good weekend to all.
While helping take care of my Dad these last six months I've spent a lot of time at my parents house. I managed to find my Black Widow that I started somewhere between middle school and high school in the late 80's early 90's. I painted it [...]
What we have here is Ken West's 1/48 scale XB-70. It is a paper model and very impressive when done by a paper master. (Which I am not!) I saw one completed by Mr. West himself at the EAA museum and had to have one. I didn't care that it [...]
The last of the great biplane fighters to enter service in 1938, the Fiat CR.42 “Falco” (Falcon) became the single most-produced Italian fighter. Agile, light, and regarded by Regia Aeronautica pilots as a wonderful aircraft to fly, [...]
The model that I present here is a Messerschmitt 109 G-6 J-705
The 22 November had emergency landing.
The rubber seal in the fuel tank came off and so was the supply of
Fuel reaching the engine, the pilot was Oblt Hofer who had emergency [...]
The XF-90, a experimental aircraft, was an example of Kelly Johnson's Skunk Works. Designed as a long range escort fighter that could accompany the B-36 intercontinental bomber, changing technology had the jet redesigned as an interceptor. [...]
Built straight OOB. Good value for money, with good fit overall. There is a mistake in the decal sheet: the woman figure should be facing towards the cockpit, i.e. backwards on the starboard side. I only noticed this in the reference [...]
I thought some of you guys might be interested in this picture of Tamiya's forthcoming 1/48 kit of a US airfield refuelling truck. It's due for release in March...
Always a favourite with me & I know I'm not alone. Tamiya do a superb kit here & I really like this colour scheme for the Fleet Air Arm. This one has the clipped wing tips necessary to fit (folded) in the hangar deck & [...]
To continued my french serie i present my Mirage IIIC from Eduard. It was a real pleasure for me to build this kit. I corrected the height of the main landing gear leg by removing 3 mm of shock absorbers. This gives him a better position [...]
