Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is a rather old kit, but did include engraved panel lines. My experience with Hasegawa engraved lines is they can be a bit too shallow to hold panel line wash well, so I deepened them a bit. The intakes are just solid blanks, as the [...]
My take on a relatively worn South Pacific Birdcage Corsair. Tamiya 1/48
Built Sept. 2022. 2nd build after returning to modeling. Watched a lot of you tube video builds on this model before starting. Lots of helpful info out [...]
Sorry about the photo! I built it when it first came out, strangely the cockpit was better in the 1/72 kit, which had very good decals, not found in the 48 release. Closed up, with tinted windows, you can't see anything anyway. You gonna [...]
Hi all,
As my Nieuport XVII build is coming to a close, I've started researching the next build.
The Fokker E.IV ‘Eindecker’, Serial No: 161/16 of home defence unit Kest 6, April 1917 at Bonn Hangelar, Cologne.
Flown (i think at least) [...]
Tamiya's wonderful 1/48 kit has just been released, and now I have put together Hasegawa's 1/72 kit.
Hasegawa's 1/72 F-35A can be easily assembled with a small number of parts.
This time, I assembled this Aggressor-specification thing to [...]
100% New Tool, new mould 1/48 scale USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II by ACADEMY. Excellent kit, highly recommend this one.
Btw, The Thunderbolt II is the A-10's official name and the "Warthog" is the ugly nickname... this is a cool [...]
A gem Dragon model depicting the innovative rocket propelled fighter. The Scheuch-Schlepper is a CMK resin kit.
Yet another tick to my bucket list. (This list seems a bit elastic but whatever..)
This is 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IXe with the markings of TuAF circa 1947-1948.
Thanks to Ozkan TURKER for the reference picture.
According to the sources I [...]
My club has an annual group build theme that culminates with a Show-and-Tell display at our December meeting. Our 2022 theme was "O Canada" comprising any subject built by Canada, manned in Canadian service, or manned by [...]
First model in a very long time. At least 10 years. All my old testors enamels were dried up so I used AK real colors. Very easy to work with. Decals are from different sheets, different companies. Did splurge on the quick boost head rest [...]
