Eduard’s Zero Type 11
G’day folks, here is an early zero from Eduard.
Nice kit but I managed to find a way to make it difficult. Despite exercising due care on the construction of the wheel wells and main wing, I had trouble mating it to the fuselage. I had [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 Whirlwind
A sketchy design from Trumpeter yet, without fatal mistakes. Decals are glossy and brightly colored and need to mute down or be replaced. Nonetheless, the model can be turned around to decently represent a unique aircraft that had a brief [...]
Dragon 1/48 Ta 152C-0
Kurt Tank's successor of the Focke wulf designed as a low altitude fighter interceptor. The kit was a late issue by Dragon after the Ta-152H kit and carries some common sprues. Similarly, it is highly detailed and the building experience [...]
Converting Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire to Mk. IXE
The conversion relied on the availability of spare parts in Tamiya's IXC boxing to represent the later IXE, such as elevators, rudder and clipped wings. Scratch work involved the conversion of the C to E wing. I modified the gun bay area [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 BF-109F-2, Werner Molders, JG51, July, 1941
This is another Hasegawa BF-109, this time it's an F-2, flown by Werner Molders in 1941.
I added belts and cockpit details, corrected the wheel wells and added brake lines.
Paints are Tamiya acrylic, weathering with oils and pastels, and [...]
Revell 1/32 Junkers Ju 88A-1
An Impressive Revell offering depicting one of the Luftwaffe's most versatile bombers that captures well the lines of the aircraft.
My attempt at the Hasegawa Macchi C.202 Folgore 1:48
I have liked the look of this airframe for some time now and wanted to attempt this kit. I waited until I had some more practice with the airbrush since I knew this was going to be a challenge. I also wanted to use masks for most of the [...]
CAUDRON G.III, US Air Service, US Army, Romorantin, France, 1917/18
Copper State Models 1:32 inc figures.
Tamiya and oil paints
Model Kasten rigging and Gaspatch+ProperPlane turnbuckles
Italeri 1/48 Sea Hurricane
Italeri's Hurricane is a mixed bag. Panel lines and details are nicely engraved. Yet, the joints need to be worked on because some parts are crudely molded. Nonetheless, in the end the model looks like a Sea Hurricane.
