Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
One of my favorite German planes during WWII, not sure why, maybe because of its triangular shape or because of its heavy armament.
Thanks to Louis @lgardner, who invited me for the Luftwaffe group build, I decided to build this [...]
It was a sad day when I learned that Wingnut Wings was closing down for good. I greatly enjoyed building those superb kits over the years. Alas, I only had the late Halberstadt in my stash when the news arrived, so this build is my final [...]
Last one for today, this is Revell's 1/72 SR-71. I modelled this one wheels-up on an old stand I had in the parts bin. I typically do not build 1/72, so having this one on a stand apart from my 1/48's was more appropriate. Also, I wanted [...]
Next up is this Italeri re-pop of Testor's old F-117A. This kit's boxing provided decals for a Ghost Grey version of the Nighthawk that has been often seen about in the jet's official post-retirement age. I initially thought that it would [...]
With some time off work this week, I'm hoping to get caught up with a few older builds, starting with this Ok-ish Revell kit. This usually retails for just a bit over $20 USD, which is a pretty good deal in spite of the cumbersome build. [...]
Built this wonderful kit in 2020. The building process was absolutely a joy, the kits engineering, the details, the smart solutions (metal wing holder for example) are the handmarks of Tamiya's 100th 1/48 aircraft model.
The camouflage was [...]
I just finished my 1/72 Trumpeter P-40C in AVG "Flying Tigers" markings. The model depicts the aircraft flown by 1st Pursuit Squadron (Adam & Eve) leader Robert Neale in Kunming, China June 1942. Neale was credited with 15.55 [...]
So, here´s another one, this time a JG1 bird with one of their colourful cowls.
Built over 6 years ago, Hasegawa A-7 kit, cowlgun flame dampers with plastic rods, armoured windshield simulated by painting the frame thicker. Eduard [...]
The P-61 has always been one of my favorite aircraft from WWII. When they first came out I built two of the Monogram kits and had a ball with them. I even put electric motors in one so that the props would spin. All in all I think the [...]
