My 2022 Builds

I've been looking at all the fine modeling projects here for some time, so I decided to post my builds for the year for my first post. Happy Holidays!

'P' (Pursuit) sub collection - Raul Hrubisko - 1/72243 models done

Hi I would like to share with you a couple of photos showing our recent achievement. With the P40 series done we have concluded the P (Pursuit) sub collection with 243 models. As we usually do we try to represent most of the different [...]

Arma Hobby 1/72 Sea Hurricane Mk.Ib

Yet another fantastic kit from Arma Hobby. It comes with some beautiful 3D printed parts that require some surgery to build the kit. If I can do it then I would hazard that anyone can. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with [...]

RF-101C McDonnell Voodoo, 1/72 Hasegawa

This might be the first boxing of Hasegawa's Voodoo kit. Done up in an early camouflage scheme circa 1964, where the Voodoo had already been operating in Southeast Asia. I used some of the kit's decals, [ which is from an AMT boxing] and [...]

1/32 Trumpeter P-47D-1 “In the Mood”

One more tick to my bucketlist. This is 1/32 Trumpeter P-47D-1 with the markings of “In the Mood” flown by Captain Gerald W Johnson from 61st Fighter Squadron 56th Fighter Group based in Halesworth England during late 1943. Cockpit [...]

F4F-4 WildcatCat of the Pacific War

(link) Today story will be short. The Airfix F4F Wildcat model is quite a popular model available for many years. I wanted to face him. As it turned out, it has a lot of imperfections that can effectively discourage novice modelers. [...]

Minicraft/Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B ProwlerDesert Storm

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 [...]

Chance Vought Corsair F4U-1 Birdcage

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 [...]

Airfix 1/48 TSR 2

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 [...]
