1/48 Academy F4U-4 Corsair, Korean War

This kit is a very simple, easy-to-build, weekend kit. I finally had time to work on it after 7 months of no model-building. This is also my seventh kit so I'm still learning the trade. I know many people state that late model Navy [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 Mig-23ML Flogger G

The Syrian Air Force had several variants of the Flogger in service. Conveniently I chose The Mig-23ML model of which one landed in Israel and was well photographed. Trumpeter's 1/48th scale model is challenging. The difficulties in the [...]

Tamiya Focke Wulf Fw190F-9 1/48

Tamiya Focke Wulf Fw190F-9 Luftflotte 4, May 1945. Found abandoned in Neubiberg, Germany. As is often the case, there is much debate on what colours it was painted. So I went with the later war colours of Rlm 76, 75,83 and a splash of 81 [...]
