Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Tamiya kit, 1:48 F4U Corsair

A very easy kit to build with good decals also. I actually used three different Testors paint colors on the main body of this model. I added the skull and crossbones decal to the tail because I had it left over, even though I am aware [...]

Revell F4U-4 Corsair VMF-214 “Black Sheep” Squadron, off the USS Sicily (CVE-118) Korea 1951

This model was ok to build but the wing to wing roots presented a problem in the fit of them. But with patience, I finished it. The decals are of good quality and I had extras which I reapplied two times because I had the wrong placement [...]

Gloster Gladiator 56 Squadron

Hello all, I'm new to iModeller but very happy to be here. By way of an introduction, this is my model of the ICM Gladiator finished in the colours of 56 Squadron. There's a little artistic licence in that there's no evidence that I've [...]

Tamiya 1:48 P51-D Mustang kit

This is a kit that almost puts itself together. Fine Tamiya quality as usual with good decals. About 20 hours to paint and assemble using Testors spray and bottle paints. Instructions are easy to follow. I used Tamiya extra thin cement [...]

Arma Hobby 1/72 F-6C Reconnaissance Mustang

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair, 1 Servicing Unit RNZAF, Henderson FieldGuadalcanal 1944 (bitsa)

G'day all. I've just finished this one in time for our annual show next weekend. It's the 1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A as an RNZAF machine with 1 Servicing Until while at Henderson Field at Guadalcanal in 1944. This one is an interesting one as it [...]

1/48 Bf 109F-2

After I finished my Me 262 in May I decided to take a break from all things modelling. It was as if building was more work than recreation. The modeling urge hit me several weeks ago and I decided to do this Eduard Weekend version of the [...]

Revell 1/32 Hurricane Mk IIC

The Hurricane originated from discussions between RAF officials and aircraft designer Sir Sydney Camm about a proposed monoplane derivative of the Hawker Fury biplane in the early 1930s. Despite an institutional preference for biplanes and [...]

Hello fellow modelers! I would like to present you a model of the German WWII fighter Messerschmitt Me 109G-6. It is a first paper model of airplane since my last production 35 year ago 🙂
