Spitfire Mk.IX UT. The Red Trainer

I converted the 1/48 ICM Spitfire to the Soviet AF UT version. Their own pilot rainer. Soviets rebuild nearly any used western aircraft type to a trainer version to help the pilots to understand the aircraft during the training. The kit [...]

Nakajima Ki-190-II 薙刀 "NAGINATA"

We all know the Japanese Army AF tested the FW-190A-5 aircraft. My Idea was to create a production version build by the Nakajima company. I used the older 1/48 Dragon kit for the project. The wings were reengraved and converted to install [...]

Arma Hobby 1/72 P51 B/C Mustang

This is the best kit I've ever put together, without a doubt. Beautifully engineered and produced, zero flash and no problems with any of the fit, apart from the front of the cockpit glazing being maybe half a millimetre too narrow to fit [...]

1/32 Bf 110 C-6 Revell + AIMS conversion

This is 1/32 Bf 110 C6 with the markings of 3U-XS from 8./JG 26 in Western desert late 1941. I have used Revell’s Bf 110 C2/C7(ex Dragon) kit with AIMS Bf 110C-6 conversion set. Cockpit was modified by Quinta Studio 3D resin interior [...]

Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Model 32

Eduard's 1/48 Zero series is similar to previous offerings by the company. Texture surface is excellent and there are plenty of details. However, the engineering of the kit and the quality control are not up to the high standard of [...]

P-47D Thunderbolt, 1/48 Italeri

Hi all ! This is my latest model, the P47D 1/48 Italeri. My first metallic color kit, and trying to give this old used condition as usual... The instruments in the cockpit with dry brush worked well. I also made my own masks for the canopy [...]

Tempest Mk. V: Airfix 1/72

This is my interpretation of Wing Commander ‘Bee’ Beamont’s Tempest Mk. V, a plane he test-piloted for Hawker before flying it into combat with incredible skill, flipping V-1s amongst other acts of unbelievable daring. I hope he [...]

FFA P-16

The first aircraft had its maiden flight in 1955. The aircraft had a Wing design that was revolutionary for the time, with a thin Profile and an unusual combination of high-lift devices such as flaps on the Wing trailing edge, lowerable [...]

McDonnell Douglas F2H-4 Banshee

This is the Tigger vacuform kit in 1/32 scale I had wanted a kit in this scale since I converted the old Hawk F2H-2 1/48 kit to a -4 many years ago. The conversion took much longer than me binning it after completion. Really no [...]

Wingnut Wings Albatross D.V: The mount of Fritz Rumey and M.C. Escher's anomality

Years ago, when Wingnut Wings was in business, I received the 1/32 Albatross D.V for review. I chose the mount of Fritz Rumey with the black lines spiraling along the fuselage on white background. Instructions specified that there were two [...]
