Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A straight out of the box build except for Tape Belts and the serials and roundels were masked and painted as Trumpeter had them a tad on the fictitious side.
Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey.
Painted with Colourcoats Extra Dark Sea Grey, [...]
This is Hasegawa’s Ju87D-8 “Night Stuka”. I tried to replicate the box art which I like very much. The most difficult part of the kit IMO is the canopy. I sanded off the molded on structure and polished it again. Then I tried to add [...]

Firstly I'd like to start with thanks to Spiros Pendedekas (@fiveten) and Giannis Asimakos (@mfcg). Without either this project could not have been finished. The help Spiros gave was invaluable and his willingness to [...]
One to add to my archive. I made this one some years ago. Festooned with rivets, I did my best to get a good fit between parts so I could avoid sanding them away. Tamiya spray can silver and Testors paints finished the job.
Another Smer/ Airifx/ Mister Craft 1:48 finished as a Ugandan Mig17 F. These are old, clunky, cheap but well engineered kits and this is my third one. No filler involved at all. I did replace the arment with turned brass as the pitot [...]

Sadly reported missing in Action Huls 22/6/43

The title is a bit misleading as this is supposed to be an F-47D-40-RA and Tamiya supplies extra parts to do so. The F-47D came about as the new U.S.A.F. changed from Pursuit to Fighter. If you want to see a photo of the actual aircraft, [...]
This was a project with a purpose. I wanted to experiment with using pastel chalk powders to attempt fine-line camouflage patterns and wanted to start on something small. I looked through the decals I had been collecting for my 109 [...]
Hi everyone ☺️
Finished the Moth today, it's the Airfix 1/48 kit that was released a short while ago. I saw on on this site an earlier post by a fellow contributer of a yellow Moth. I was hooked when I came round to doing my Moth it [...]
