1/48 Zvezda Yakovlev Yak-3 Lt Col Yakimenko 1945

An old project that had been abandoned for years,finally finished,not contest level but a nice kit...hope you like it.

Heller 1/48 Mirage 2000C

The origins of the Mirage 2000 could be traced back in the early 70’s when Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation (AMD-BA) decided to develop a secondary fighter project named “Delta 1000”, as a more affordable alternative to the [...]

1/48 Airfix P-40B Tomahawk Mk.II 112 Squadron Nth Africa

G'day folks. I built this one in the later half of 2019. This is the lovely P-40B by Airfix in 48th scale. Flown by Sergeant William Earl Houston (RNZAF). This is GA-O (AK457) from 112 Squadron RAF during their time in North Africa. I'm [...]

1/48 Hawker Hurricane IID.

This is the Hobbycraft kit that first appeared in 1988. I pulled this from the stash to work on while I awaited delivery of parts for my Dora Wings Vengeance. I have a soft spot for these Hobbycraft kits. They were doing subjects that [...]

Nordic Cowboy...1/48 Noorduyn Sk16A (Harvard Mk.IIB), Svenska Flygvapnet

So, here´s my dad´s fourth and last Texan for this year. Italeri Harvard boxing, the molding is worse than the previous Italeri T-6G boxing. Canopy parts had fit problems, cockpit sidewalls were molded in different thickness, landing [...]

Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawks

Hi All. I have seen the last remaining F9C Sparrowhawk before, at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy/NASM, but for some reason on my last visit, with my Bro-in-law (thanks Kurt, had a great time), I felt inspired to build this classic USN [...]

Yak-9T (ICM 1/32)

After 10 months of being not able to finish anything, this new tool Yak-9T (T - tank) has finally brought me back. Thank you, ICM 🙂 The kit fits quite well. The only inconvenient thing was the wing root fairing. And the windscreen [...]

Fine Molds Kawasaki Ki-10The Sequel

I’ve already sung the praises of this kit in a previous article, so I won’t say more than “buy this kit,” this time around. My earlier build was one of my first kits completed after a long sabbatical, and I wanted to see how I [...]

1/48 Eduard Mig21PFM

This model I received as a gift from my friend who tragically passed away. I started doing it about a year ago, but it was very traumatically for me to continue with it. Finally, as a omage for my friend I decided to finish it. I don’t [...]
