Airfix Gloster Meteor F.8 1/72

Just finished this newly tooled Airfix Gloster Meteor. Great detail, just the right amount of parts really to get to the pain job within a reasonable amount of time (i am not a patient person). The build is straightforward. Unfortunately [...]

Yellow Wings...1/48 Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo, VF-3 "Felix Cat", USN

My dad finished the next double pack. After the two F3F, now the second F2A. Another contribution to the Jim Sullivan Memorial GB. Classic Airframes kit, which as expected needed some more work than the Tamiya F2A-2. Canopy parts didn´t [...]

Revell 1/72 Breguet Atlantic 1 "Italian Eagle"

Revell's new boxing was a good opportunity to explore the build of the venerable Atlantic. It is a solid old school build with thick and strong plastic and seam lines to fill. Yet, thanks to the low number of parts it is a quick build that [...]

Curtiss-Wright SO3C SeamewCzech Models 1/48

After more than six months of no new completed builds to share, I've near simultaneously completed three builds... with a few more coming on their heels. The first of them all is a slightly different build, that of a less usual subject [...]

1/48 F4F-1D Corsair Jim Sullivan Group Build

I used the Tamiya kit to represent an FG-1D Corsair flown by LTC Donald K. Yost of VMF-351 aboard the USS Cape Gloucester, July-August, 1945. It's my contribution to the Jim Sullivan Group Build initiated by Louis Gardner, so thanks Louis [...]

Trumpeter F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter 1/32

Hellcat, everybody loves it, everybody has one so... I got me one. I saw many examples of this extraordinary fighter plane and many with the fuselage open to see the interior and I was encouraged to do it this way. I decided to work on the [...]

Roland VI.a, Emil Koch, Jasta 32b, 1918 (7 victories)

This is a speculative scheme from trying to interpret old B&W photos but with additional oral information from surviving pilots. WNW 1:32 . Tamiya paints and printing ink Aviattic 4 colour lozenge with clear brown glaze Gaspatch and [...]

Special Hobby, Israel Mirage 3C in 1/72

The most handsome jet 🙂 Special Hobby's Mirage 3C in 1/72. Another quick and fun project to build - the model is very accurate, very detailed and with wide variety of armaments. The decals are too thin, in my opinion, and tend to tear [...]
