1/72 RS Models JKRV Do17k

A long time ago I’ve decided to do every machine thet flew under the banner of the Royal Yugoslav Air Force. I’ve done Ca310, many Bf109s, Ik-3,Bf108… So, the time has come for something unique, Dornier. But Do17 in K variant. This [...]

Guerre d'Algérie...1/48 Republic F-47D Thunderbolt , Armée de l’Air

So, this is my dad´s final contribution to the French at war theme. Tamiya P-47M kit, drop tank from a Tamiya P-47 Razorback kit, BLU-27 napalm canisters from a Hasegawa weapon set, antenna wire with elastic thread, Eduard seatbelts. All [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51D "Detroit Miss"

I bought this kit on the cheap from a popular online auction site. The finished product falls into the "6 footer" category. Stay 6 feet back and it looks like a P-51 Step a little closer and you will see the thick decals, poor [...]

"Cripes A' Mighty III"Eduard 1/48 P-51D-5

THE AIRPLANE: Among the criticisms leveled by pilots against the P-51B Mustang was the limited visibility from the cockpit with the “coffin lid” canopy, and the tendency for the guns to jam due to their placement at an angle inside the [...]

(Refurbished) Bf 109E

The Tamiya 1:48 109E kits are just great for quick builds, yes there are newer and better detailed kits around, but for sheer VFM, the Tamiya kits are hard to beat. I've added only belts made from masking tape and AM decals to this one [...]

Tamiya P-47D-30-RE, 'The Bubbletop over Asia'

After a couple of single builds I wanted to get back to the dual combo way of building kits, and so what better than a bubbletop to go along with the razorback P-47? Having completed a bare-metal Mustang just before the Thunderbolts I [...]
