Fw 190 A-6 1/48 Hasegawa

This is an old build. I was going through photos and found these. I'm not sure when I did this but it was probably early 2000's It represents a JG1 plane operating from Schiphol Airfield, Holland 1943. I've always liked the checkerboard [...]

AMT-FROG “Famous Fighters Series I” – Box Theme Build

This is a build I completed a few months ago of AMT-FROG Famous Fighters Series I, No. 3955-130, 1:72 (1967 boxing). I started work on the first plane this past September while involved with two different FB group builds on a totally [...]

1/72 Hasegawa Rockwell OV-10 Bronco

I started this simple little kit around 1980 when I was still in college. I was quite ambitious at the time by cutting out the flaps and cutting off the cargo door, planning to detail the interior. At the time I numbered the flaps and wing [...]

Arma Hobby 1/72 Mk IIc Hurricane

A gem of a kit. Not that many parts (around 70 or so, I think). Took me about three weeks to finish, done in MRP colours, with some oils and some weathering powders. I understand that they are about to release the same thing in 1/48, which [...]

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 [...]
