End of War…1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-14/AS, JG77

Look, another 109 by my dad ? He´s trying to get rid of his 109 kits by building them. Built in 2018. This was the Hasegawa G-10 JG300 boxing, but in fact both included schemes are G-14/AS. So my dad converted it by filling the wrong and [...]

Airfix 1/72 Wellington Mk 1a/c "R" Robert

Alongside my He111, I'm also making the Airfix new mould kit. I'm going to be doing "R" Robert. I will therefore be building her in the Mk1a configuration. The actual aircraft was recovered from Loch Ness back in the 1980's and [...]

Airfix 1/72 He111 H6 progress

Some time ago (April 2019) I was awarded by iModeler the Airfix 1/72 He 111 H6. At long last I have been able to make some headway with the kit at last! I have some Eduard etch to put inside the fuselage and when she is buttoned up I can [...]

Unmanned: General Atomics MQ-9 ReaperKinetic 1/48

Up next off the bench was this Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is used by a number of nations world-wide. I must admit, I am not particularly drawn to this vehicle or it's type, however, given its prevalence and admitted capabilities, I [...]

ESCI 1/48 F-86F Sabre

A build I made many years ago of the F-86F Sabre. The wings in this kit represents the E or early F of the sabre jets. This was a quick build, my log shows only 4 days (that is very quick for me). Built straight out of the box. Any details [...]

Albatros D.III OAW, Jasta 50, 1917

Roden 1/32 + WNW decals + Gaspatch. I didn't find pictures of the wings and I didn't know the exact colour of ribs. I chose pink, but blue could be equally valid. Rigging not yet finished.

1/48 Trumpeter HU-16A Albatross Sea Plane

This build is the Trumpeter 1/48 HU-16A Albatross. I chose the United States Coast Guard scheme from 1957 using Caracal decals. The kit itself comes with a small photo etch set for added details, metal landing gear struts, and rubber [...]

Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien, Tamiya 1/72

Finished this little kit in 2020. What can I say, this is the best kit I ever built, absolutely superb. No filling required. Painted with AK Real Colors and Alclad II paints.

End of War…1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9 (late), 7./JG26

Built over 6 years ago. Eduard kit oob, except a Tamiya sliding canopy. Landing gear detail, and antenna wire added, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics. This aircraft was discovered by the allies at Hustedt near Celle, where it was [...]
