Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Academy MiG-21MF Fishbed, 1/48 scale

Hello iModeler! This is one of three kits I managed to finish last year. I used a CMK resin cockpit and wheel wells, and finished it in generic USSR colors using the kit decals and Akan paints. Not a bad kit for the price but I think I [...]

My 2020 builds

These are the four builds I completed in 2020. I posted the Rafale build earlier this year and the three Me 262s are the subjects of a work-in-progress thread ((link)) and I'll post the final pictures here soon. I had hoped to finish a few [...]

Roden Junkers DI, 1/72 scale, Belgium late 1918

Hello, this is one of my first WWI kits ever. To be honest, I'm a little scared about rigging biplanes, therefore I started with a monoplane. The challenge about this kit is the corrugated iron skin. Because the decals of this kit are very [...]

Austrian Aces...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5 Hauptmann Walter Nowotny, CO I./JG54

My dad finished his first model in the new year already. Hasegawa kit, part of the decals from the sparesbox, Eduard seatbelts, EZ line for antenna wire, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines, plasic rods for the landing gear [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fokker DR1

1/48 Eduard Fokker Dr1 flown by Lt R Klimke, Jasta 27. Halluin-Ost, France 1918. Super fun build. 2021 will be my WW1 year... and probably years after. ?

last of 2020/first of 2021

Technically, this Special Hobby Bf-109E-4 is a 2020 kit, since I started it in December. But I didn't decal and finish it till today, so it's the first one finished of 2021. This new Special Hobby 1/72 Bf-109E-4, done in cooperation with [...]

Last 2020 Project: Hawker Hurricane Mk II b 1/72 ARMA Hobby

My last completed build of 2020 (finished on 12/31). I can't say enough about ARMA kits in general and this one in particular. Meticulous detail--better than some larger scale kits by other brands. High quality plastic, comparable to [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-38F Lightning “Texas Terror/The Mad Dash”.

This was the last project completed in 2020 for me. Built completelyOOB except for some fine solder used as the antenna stay, and, of course, Eduard seat harness. Airbrushed in Tamiya acrylics, and weathered with Ammo by Mig enamel washes [...]

Arma Hobby (Expert-Set) Hawker Hurricane Mk I Battle of Britain + Addons in 1/72

Hello, today I want to show you the second part of my little Battle of Britain diorama. I used the expert set of the Hawker Hurricane from the Polish manufacturer "Arma Hobby". Since everything is already included in the set to [...]

Persian Thunder...1/48 Republic F-84G "Ali-Jet" Imperial Iranian Airforce
