A-4Q Skyhawk, Fujimi 1/72th

A4Q piloted by Captain Philippi on 21 May 1982 during the Falklands War. Snakeye bomb impacted the British frigate HMS Ardent, after being shot down by a Sea Harrier (black 14), being able to successfully eject.

Red Baron

Recently, we had several mentions of the racing Mustangs: here, here and here, so I thought it is the right moment to pull out this from my archives. Here is the model of the most famous of them all, the Red Baron, seen at the Scale [...]

Frank Luke’s SPAD XIII – Hobbycraft 1/32

There is no pilot of World War I in any air force who more fits the mythology of the "Great Flying Ace of the Great War" than The Arizona Cowboy, Frank Luke. The working-class kid with no education around a bunch of upper-class [...]

Hurricane for Christmas

This is a ten day wonder. It is the Airfix 1/48 scale kit, and took me about 14 hours total over 10 days. The personal markings are home made as is the aircraft ID. Under the tail is my brother-in-laws birthday as the civilian ID [...]

B-17G “Chow Hound” Revell 1/48

This plane was my third official build and it was and still is my favorite build, but the b-26 will probably surpass this plane for the favorite build spot once I finish it. This plane was my first real attempt at painting according to [...]

Blue Max 1/48 Halberstadt CL.II

Some more of my 'paleomodeling', the Blue Max Halberstadt. I have always liked the lines of the Halberstadt CL's. The kit was a typical 'limited production' from a few years back, you had to make the parts go together. Covered with [...]

Eduard 1:48 SPAD S.XIII

Model of dioramas, about which I have spoken. Almost from box assembly, said only the pilot. Perhaps the aircraft will be too yellow, my mistake, but had to paint in the evenings under the lamp. And so probably got the wrong shade.
