Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I went for the RLM 76 Lichtblau - RLM 82 Hellgruen - [...]

Curtiss A-8 Shrike - 1/32 vacuform scratchbuilt.
We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
So just about eight weeks on this one, everything you see (except the roundels & side number) is straight from the Eduard box, no after-market used at all.
Paint is all acrylic and all mixed 'until it looks about right'. And therein [...]
A friend of mine was given two old kits , he asked me to build them for him. One was a 1/72 Revell SR-71 with a drone mounted on top...
the other was an AMT/Ertl 1/72 XB-35 flying wing...
The SR-71 was simple to build. If it had been [...]
Here is my Shackleton built pretty much out of the box but I added screen wipers and detailed the cockpit.
An unusual scale for me although it is still quite a large kit when finished.
The model was finished with Tamiya XF's and, as I [...]
