Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden was a local interceptor that served in the defense of the Japanese homeland against high-altitude Allied bombers. It was therefore a good, quick climber without frills. The earlier J2M2 and J2M3 (both designated [...]
1/72 Special Hobby kit. Added Eduard "Zoom" set, Reskit wheels/tires, and Reskit exhaust, Hataka lacquer paints and kit decals. By far, the best Special Hobby kit that I have built in terms of fit and engineering.
Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale.

When looking at some of the flying machines, the question immediately arises as to how anyone could believe that something like this would ever take off! In fact, the original of the WWA-14 M1 shown here has flown - and not at all badly, [...]

Again a rebuild from an old wreck by Eduard. Here it could have turned out much better, but I no longer had the strength or desire for a better result. But it has to be enough for a happy birthday, because this type in 1:48 scale is [...]
My very first Stuka: an R-2 from 3rd Staffel, 1st Gruppe, Sturzkampfgeschwader 1, as it may have appeared in April-May 1940, based in France. Pretty much Italeri out of the box, with a few Eduard embellishments in the cockpit. I spent far [...]
This is the Matchbox Mosquito built up as a nightfighter. It is built out of the box with the only addition being the vac-form canopy from Falcon. The kit took several applications of putty and primer to get the finish I wanted. I [...]

Hope you like it.
All the best,
Marcus
