Heller 1/48 Sud Aviation Alouette II “Armée de Terre”

Hi everyone! This is my Heller 1/48 Alouette II, finished as an "Armée de Terre" bird. The Alouette II is a French light helicopter, originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aérospatiale. Performing its maiden flight [...]

Monogram/Pro-Modeler 1/48 He-111 H-?

Latest effort to reduce the pile of kits through building. (Hint- if you want fewer boxes, mysterious A/M bits, and bottles of paint for your kids to bin after you're gone, save 'em the trouble by just having another completed model to [...]

Heller’s 1/72 Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199 “Sakeen”

This is Heller's Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199. An enjoyable build, I took a kit that I was not too thrilled with as a 109K but had some fun making it to something that I like. This was Heller's first attempt (1976, Kit No. 074) to [...]

1/144 Minicraft C-54/DC-4 in Early SAS Colors

I don't normally build airliners, and I never build anything that has a natural metal finish, but I wanted to do something for the SAS 75th Anniversary Group. I had the Minicraft C-54 kit lurking around, and I was able to find some decals [...]

Airwar over Austria...1/48 North American P-51D Mustang, 2ndFS/52ndFG, "Yellow Tails", 15th AF

My dad´s next 15th AF pony, after the Tuskegee one. Tamiya kit with Aeromaster decals. Did some minor filling and removing to get a D-5 model. Also filled the wing panel lines, like on the original. Painted with AK Xtreme Metal Color [...]

Fine Molds 1/72 F-4EJ Kai Phantom II No.440

A relatively new kit of phantoms. There was almost no need to erase the seams of the parts. It wasn't difficult to assemble. I painted with brushes and lacquer paints, and Mr. color is mainly used. I made the whole matte, but I painted the [...]

Flying Leathernecks/Eyes in the Sky…1/48 Grumman F4F-3P Wildcat, VMO-251, USMC

And my dad has finished the next one. Hobby Boss F4F-3 (late) kit with Superscale decals. The wing walkway decals came from the sparesbox. The kit and also the Superscale star decdals for the wings were to small, took suiting decals from a [...]

Operation Granby…1/48 Sepecat Jaguar GR.1A, No. 54 Sqn RAF

So, my dad has finally finished his mojo killer. The Kitty Hawk kit looks good in the box but is no beginners kit. Many parts don´t fit good, pins don´t fit in their holes...so if you build it, dryfit everything. Well, it didn´t turn [...]

RWD-5, MisterCraft, 1:72

Hello, I would like to show my latest model. It is RWD-5, small sport-tourist plane which was used by polish clubs between world wars. It is famous because it broke record flying across Atlantic and pilot at that time was colonel [...]
