Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is my interpretation of Hubert Polz's JU-87R-2 Stuka while stationed at Tmimi, Libya in 1941.
There are only a few (4, I believe) photo's of this aircraft, so a lot of the scheme is speculative (even the color of the snake is [...]
Built in 2018. Zoukei-Mura kit, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.
My dad thought it would be a shame to hide all the nice detail, so he decided to keep it naked and show a fictious not yet finished prototype. Besides that, the fit of [...]
It's funny, but you will forgive me (I hope): since I returned to this hobby after more than 40 years of absence, I am amazed to retrace paths that others younger than me have already traveled. I have rediscovered a state of the art light [...]

JG74 Luftwaffe RED FLAG ALASKA 122 June 2012
The 1/72 kit from Hasegawa is excellent. Great fit, fantastic detail, lots of weapon configurations and that amazing hard plastic that characterise them. I added the rivets and one or two extra [...]
