Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hi all,
This is my 1/32 Hasegawa P-47D-28 RA with the markings of Frank E. Oiler’s “Eileen 42-28878” from 78FG/84FS based İn Duxford (1944).
Cockpit modifications are:

Based on my sufferi- I mean, observations, the following is my best guestimate on how to create an 'accurate' initial-form XF5F-1.
First, let me clarify: this is a wonderful kit. Out of the box, the Minicraft Skyrocket is great. It is my [...]
Weathering patterns of Japanese WWII aircraft fascinated me more than the aircraft themselves. However, due to the scarcity and low quality of photographs from that era, it is very difficult for me to nail the core of a weathered surface [...]
A rare 1/48th scale build from me. This is the Tamiya F4F-4. I added some Eduard PE in the cockpit along with oil cooler screens as well as a Ultracast seat, and Aires ventral position lights. I used a vac canopy for the sliding section. [...]

The kit itself is a complete what-if as there was only one D-15 which was destroyed and never carried a torpedo.
I decided for a [...]
Taken of the shelf of doom after a long break.
All of a sudden things started to roll and i finished it within a few days. The scheme is from No. 245 squadron in 1945.
Painted with Ammo Mig and AK Interactive acrylics, Ammo Mig panel line [...]
First I did “I like jugs.” Then I created “Spitfirepalooza.” Now I’m on the edge of being obsessed with Corsairs and having to create a name for said obsession.
Here’s my third Corsair of the year, the Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D. [...]
Had to face up to facts. No space left. Into storage go the bulk of my 1/32 scale kits. Not becaue of any "domestic" issues I hasten to add. Neither of us wants the house full of Weapons of Mass Destruction! Indeed we often joke [...]
