Kinetic 1/48 Sea Harrier FA.2 “SHAR”

This build have been a WIP for nearly 9 months, going back and forth between the workbench and a storagebox. I had an idea to build a superdetailed SHAR with a lots of aftermarket, 3d printed parts and scratchbuilding. But due to poor [...]

The end: “Sleepytimegal. “

This brings us to the end of building this 1/24 scale P-51D conversion to the P-51B model. I recall drawing the name of "SLEEPYTIMEGAL" on a piece of artist "Frisket" film, then cutting the name out and then applying [...]

Curtiss F11C-2 Goshawk

This is the Monogram kit from 1968 in 1/72 scale. Even though it is over fifty years old the kit still compares well to recent releases, featuring some very nice surface detail and clever engineering which ensures correct alignment and [...]

Another Mustang Story.

Making a wooden mold was easy to make, so I could "vac-u-form" my windscreen, canopy and half-round side windows. As a child of around 6 year old, we neighborhood boys all had "pen-knives" and use to sit around an [...]

Part Two: P-51B Mustang.

Arma Hobby Yak-1B 1/72

Hallo to everyone, I’m a lazy modeler. If I work on a hard project for a long time (many changes, conversions in new models...), then I need a break. Normally I work on a simple kit (often an aircraft) without changes. I open the box, I [...]
