Wingnut Wings Swansong – Halberstadt Cl.II (Late) 1/32
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 [...]
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird – Revell 1/72
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 [...]
Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk – Italeri 1/48
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 [...]
Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet – Revell 1/48
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. [...]
Fieseler Fi-156 C-3 Storch – Tamiya 1/48
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 [...]
1/72 Trumpeter P-40C AVG

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 [...]
P-61 "Nocturnal Nemesis" – 1/48 Great Wall Hobby
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 [...]
