Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Here is my latest work. Everything with this model went fine, almost till the end. Then, when i was removing masks, i revieled a broken canopy clear part. For a few days i didn't do anything, and then... I decided, it stays the way that [...]
I found this kit in a box during the lockdown and was astounded. I was sure that I'd binned it, as I remember it being unworthy of building for some obscure reason several years ago. I gave it a look over and decided that all was not lost, [...]
Converting a Revell HE-111 into a CASA 2.111 by using engine nacelles from a Lanc and other basic scratch building techniques.

This is the new Airfix Sabre in 1:48 scale which I've just built and is featured in the current issue of Airfix Model World Magazine. This was a great kit to build, plenty of detail in it and it all fits well. The markings will be one of [...]
Built a couple of years ago. Used a Tamiya F-8 kit as base. Previously this aircraft was wrongly designated as A-7 but due to some exterior features seen on the pics of the original a/c and the assumed Werknummer, it´s an A-8. Also the [...]
