Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is 1/32 Eduard (ex-Hasegawa) P-40N Warhawk with the markings of "Klawin Kitten" from 51FG, 18FS in China during summer of 1944.
Paints are Gunze Sangyo acrylics
Decals (except for the national insignias) are produced by [...]
My dad continues with the Asian silverbords.
Kinetic kit (some fit problems with the 3-part air intakes and the avionics bay cover, rest was ok) with Iliad Design decals. Added some Eduard PE belts to the kit seat. MRP Super Silver for the [...]
Lukgraph 1:32 resin (cast and printed)
A lot of faffing about compared to a styrene kit. Resin parts suffered with surface printing ridges. Cast parts warped and thick. The engine was particularly poor until I was sent a newer improved [...]
I built and modified this kit back in 1990. It's been in storage for 30 years. Some pieces separated so I decided to put it back together and clean it up a bit.

I first saw a SNJ around 1961 i was all of five years old. We lived close to Flushing airport in a part of Queens NY. You could see the airfield from my bedroom window. Hearing six radial engines taking of one after another, I could [...]
I posted this one on Britmodleller but want to share here too.
I employed the Quinta cockpit decal set, Pavla resin seats, Reskit rocket pods & Xtradecals sheet for an early 1966 HMS Triumph bird. It is painted with Gunze paints [...]
The mysterious aircraft presented here is surprisingly difficult to categorise. Although it flies at a speed of several hundred kilometres per hour and is reminiscent of a classic aeroplane in many parts, it also moves with a spray or dust [...]
