Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Pretty much out of the box,added a vac sliding part of the canopy and had a go at fading the paintwork.The overspray in the wheelwell is intentional as this was often seen.
Since I am starting my last ("Kościuszko") Polish Fighter Squadron aircraft, the Ansaldo, I figured I would post a few of my past models. I have completed two MIG 29 versions,single and two seat. I have also completed a [...]
This is the 1/72 scale Hasegawa P-40E Warhawk in Red Star dress.
I built this one mostly because I looked forward to the painting and I was attracted to the red stars for some reason. This was a rather simple build and only seatbelts was [...]
Built out of box, using kit photo etched parts. Humbrol and Model Master paints were used. Eagle Strike decals were used for the markings of the "Seven Swabians" as well as the upper and lower lozenge. Stainless steel wire was [...]

Another great WNW kit. I've said it before and will say it again: you can't go wrong with one of these kits. Rigging on this is relatively easy for the "rigging challenged." As is the case with the rest of the series, you can [...]

Well, here it is, my latest finished build, 1:48 P-40N from Hasegawa.
The kit is beautifully [...]
This is Tamiya's 1/48 F4U-1A with all of the control surfaces deflected, including trim tabs, the flaps raised, and the gear retracted. I added a Monogram pilot figure with his head turned and looking up. The drop tank has just been [...]
