Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
My Second build and one of my favourite helicopters, a nice kit, raised panel details and rivets.
Tried out some weathering, but early days trying weathering so a bit heavy handed, was very upset when I pulled off my painstakingly applied [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
