Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This kit is made by Pioneer 2 in 1/72 scale of the Yak-15 "Feather." It was first released in 1988 and it is a very simple, basic kit. It has also been boxed by Matchbox and PM Model.
The Yak-15 is one of the Soviets early jet [...]
Finally finished up the MiniArt P-47D-30 as a P-47M-1RE of the 56th Fighter Group aka Zemke's Wolfpack.
Thanks Louis@lgardner for the Tamiya decals. Raided my Tamiya bubbletop Jug for the M prop. Used a Quickboost resin C series R-2800 [...]
The model represents a Spitfire that was flown from Sardinia and southern France by F/Lt A.W. Guest. The aircraft was assigned to No. 43 Squadron on July 13, 1944. MT714 was written off on March 14, 1946.

This 100 scale paper model ( 1/144 scale for plastic) turned out great! now I am addicted to models this size because of space constraints. just need to learn how to properly paint the canopy and pass that tip on. Models like this can be [...]
For my second build of 2024 I chose this MiG-21 kit. The model is the 1988 OEZ kit made in Czechoslovakia.
By today's standards it is a basic & primitive kit, but when it first came out it was considered by many to be the best MiG-21 [...]
Well, I found another interesting non-standard Bf 109 paint scheme. Eduard included a nice RA option in their G-4 ProfiPACK, so it was a no brainer for me. A great addition to my 109F in Spanish markings.
I followed Eduard's instructions [...]
