Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Special Hobby 1/72 Supermarine Sea Otter

Probably taken me 8 or 9 months to finally get this one over the finish line. Life just gets in the way, eh ? Really nice little kit, with a decent level of detail for the scale. Finished mainly in MRP paint, weathered with various oil [...]

1/48th ICM B-26C Invader As Navy XJD-1 Prototype

This 1/48th model came in the ICM box as a B-26C Invader and was modified to represent one of two XJD-1 prototypes (BuNo 57990 and 57991). This 'Navalized' Invader, after further enhancement, would go on to serve under the designation [...]

New Tool, FJ43 SUV WITH SOFT TOP IDF & LAF 1/35 scale by AK INTERACTIVE, Excellent kit! Highly recommended! Decals for 3 painting/marking options: 2X FJ43 Israeli Defense Forces vehicles in IDF sand color finish. 1X Lebanese Armed [...]

Frankenseeflugzeug

Here's a thing I built one time when I was trying to decide on my next project and was thinking I should do something with my large stash of spare parts left over from previous builds and wrecks. (I never throw anything away). I started [...]

Modelsvit 1/48 Me bf. 109 c-3

Early version bf. 109. Could only find limited information on this version. Several source say only 58 C (Clara) variants built spring to late 1938. C1 being the primary version. Same sources state that C-3 and C-4 were experimental and [...]

MKHL FW-190F8

Hi all! I've been away for a while due work mostly, but I'm back with a freshly finished good old Tamiya Fw-190 F8 kit painted with hungarian markings. I can't tell too much about the kit, which hasn't been told earlier by other modellers. [...]

1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18C Hornet

I know, it's hard to get too excited about a teen series. And yet, it must be done: what respectable modeler worth his Tamiya tape doesn’t have at least a couple teen series models collecting dust on a shelf? I don’t recall why I [...]

Deadly Stringbag...1/48 Fairey Swordfish Mk.II, 836 NAS, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm

My dad hasn´t done a British aircraft, at least with British markings, for a while. Now it was about time. Great Tamiya kit, also used Tamiya´s PE set for the rigging. Not a bad idea, worth a try and didn´t turn out too bad. But for the [...]

Airfix Blenheim Mk.I 1/72

Finally finished this Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mk. 1 in 72nd scale. Even though every review warns about the fiddly canopy and even though i already did this kit a year ago, i still am somewhat disappointed and have very mixed feelings [...]

P-47S Thunderhog? for the twenty first century. 1/72 Revell.

This started out as Revells 1/72 P-47M. Until my twisted mind spent too much time figuring out what scheme to choose. The result is a somewhat updated Thunderbolt. Utilizing modern ground attack weapons, some additional bumps and antennae [...]
