Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Republic P-47D “Luckys’ Lady”

This is a Monogram 1/48 P-47D . The box is dated 1967 and was still shrink wrapped. It’s from the collection of a modeler, Mr Claude Good, that passed away about 1 year ago at age 86. It is my interpretation of Captain Frank [...]

Nakajima Rufe

Ciao ragazzi, this is my Nakajima Rufe already presented into the group “Pacific theater”. The kit is the old Tamiya 1/48 scale very simple but was very joyful. Stay safe Paolo

ICM 1/48 P-51 Mustang: Nightmare NMF Project

This project took the joy out of model building which isn't good for my 6th build. The ICM kit was subpar by every standard. The instructions didn't include the paint scheme or decal layout for the box art version which is what I built. [...]

Airfix de Havilland Mosquito Mk. XVI 1/72

This is the new Airfix Mosquito in 72nd scale. This kit is gorgeous, not just because the details/fit, etc. is great. It’s also cleverly engineered. The are parts you can use to temporarily cover the wheel bay and other parts have arrows [...]

Roland D.VIa, Jasta 23b, Epinoy, France, 1918

Hi, this is my latest completed model from the WnW range. The kit is a pleasure to build and is a really attractive subject for a model kit. The colour scheme was achieved by using enamel and oil paints, and lozenge pattern markings from [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Sea Harrier FRS.1

A build I thoroughly enjoyed. Everything that is reported regarding the fit of this kit is accurate but I was trying to stretch myself. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with Colourcoats Dark Admiralty Grey, Barley Grey, Light [...]

PA-48 Enforcer

Hi All, To me, the PA-48 Enforcer is probably one of THE coolest looking airplanes ever produced and when I saw one at the USAF Museum, I knew one day I needed to build a model of it. So, when Halberd Models, from the Ukraine, had a [...]

Revell Iron Maiden Spitfire

I couldn't resist building this one given the subject matter. The detail and fit of the model was excellent with minimal filler required. The Eddie figures are reasonably well detailed as well. I chose to display the model in flight over [...]

Eduard Bf109 E-7 Trop.

Hello again. Before you my last project. I used the photoetched frets and the decals from the Profipack edition of the kit, changed the weapon cannons for the metal ones from Master and the Gunsight for a resin piece form Quickboost. I had [...]

Dora Wings Vultee P-66 Vanguard

Hi All! First, let me say that the people at Dora Wings are getting kits out under the conditions that they are ( the War) impresses me greatly, so any grievances are really superficial and are to warn you of any pitfalls. I have ordered [...]
