1/72 F4U-1A Corsair

This was a reprise of the Hasegawa Corsair kit that I built two weekends ago as a F4U-4 flying from Bunker Hill in February 1945 in overall Glossy Sea Blue. This build was an attempt to get a good tricolor scheme down, as well as try out [...]

North American P-51B Mustang, 1/48, Tamiya TAM61042

Received this amazing kit as a Christmas present from my good friend Spiros @fiveten. Together we started a groupbuild of a P51 and A36 which ended up in a group with lots of enthusiastic members taking part as well. A lot of techniques [...]

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort Mk.1

This is a kit that is a joy to build, yes, even the canopy. I wanted to do it as a Mk.1a and chose a scheme from 217 Squadron, RAF Luqa in 1942. Aftermarket: Kitsworld Cockpit Decals, Eduard Look IP, CMK Resin Brownings and Brassin [...]

Polish Spitfire- Mk. IXc

Hi My father has just finished this new project. We have been working for a couple of months on it. This is the final list and the final photos. To be honest, I never thought that the Fulmar series has 22 models. I thought that it would be [...]

1/72 F6F-5 Hellcat

Grumman F-4F4 Wildcat (Tamiya 1/48)

Another 20+ year resident of the stash. Built straight from the box with the exception of the EZ-Line antenna. Finished with Mr. Color paints, Tamiya panel line wash, and AK weathering pencils. The kit decals added some drama but [...]

Airfix 1/72 Vulcan B.2

The new tool Airfix Vulcan is superior in every respect (unfortunately, also for the price) to the original issue dated back in 1983. The build is straight forward. However, the massive model size poses challenges along the build. Your [...]
