Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
HI all
Here is something different for me. I usually build in 1/72nd scale but I had this old (70's) Otaki/ARII 1/48th scale kit sitting in my stash and I decided to get it a go.
The kit show its age, but surprisingly it goes together [...]
Yep; it's me again with yet another 109! This time the object of my affection is the Tamiya kit, done as a Bf109E-7 from 9/JG 27 during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Unlike the Airfix kit I posted last time around this one has [...]
As part of my growing assembly of F-5 related/based builds in 1/72, the Grumman X-29 was just completed.
I'm considering this build done for now, I've misplaced the 'Chuck Sewel' decal which goes on the canopy frame and I was going to try [...]
Lots of aftermarket items added to this build. The engines, cowlings, propellers, control surfaces, cockpit, control panel, guns, and wheels. Foxbot decals were also used to replace the kit ones. I fabricated the pitot head on the fin, [...]
Just some photos from my recent build of a Fine Molds A5M2b Claude. Very easy kit to build and no major issues. I really enjoyed building this one. I'll write a full article soon (too busy.)

Hi all
I haven't post here for a while, so I decided to post the little Italian stallion I just finished today.
Machi Mc.202 Folgore (Italeri 1/72) representing a very well documented aircraft of the 51 Stormo, 153 Gruppo Autonomo, 374 [...]
Greetings Everyone,
Trust you are doing well. . . My recent work of HobbyBoss 1/72 Dassault Rafale.
The kit is very simple with few parts, but they have adequate detail for this scale.
Weapons provided are also adequate except the kit [...]
Hello Everyone,
Been long since I posted anything here . . . All thanks to COVID-19 . . .
My latest work . a Minicraft 1/144 Super Constellation in Air India colors.
The kit is a simple build and the parts are few. Very little [...]
Having just made a tentative return to the modelling world, thanks to COVID-19 lockdown, it was with some trepidation that I embarked on this build! When I was modelling back in the 1970's I was probably just OK for a teenager, but looking [...]
