iModeler Aviation

Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

P-51D-5 Mustang by Eduard in 1/48.

My first model for 2021. Very happy with the result although it took me much longer to complete than usual. I have a good many Mustangs in this scale & was looking forward to a trouble free build on this one, which is my first [...]

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire MkI

New Eduard edition,first of two finished. Enjoyable build, minor fitting problems with fuselage-wing joint. Strange experience with new Eduard decals.

Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6 JG 300 Hobbycraft 1/48

Oldie but goodie...

Nakajima Type 11, Early production (Irving), Tamiya 1/48

Okay, I must admit I had forgotten what Tamiya stands for. Abundance of detail, no flash, perfect fit (I didn't use any glue for the landing gear...). I used Eduard's p.e. set, a value for money set that provides lots of extra details. I [...]

F-104G Starfighter

Hello again colleagues. I bring you a kit that I really wanted to do. It's the Hasegawa F-104, a fabulous kit, no problem. I recommend it 100%. I hope you like the result.

Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.Va

Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.Va flown by Lt Paul Baumer. Jasta 5 Bolstrancourt Jan 1918. Used Print Scale decals for the flower. Never again. Shriveled up before even leaving the back paper. Otherwise an enjoyable build. Thanks for [...]

A6M5c Zero, Academy 1/72

I found myself inspired by the many wonderful aircraft found on iModeler...so I dug this Zero from the stash thinking it would be a relative short build compared to some of my armor projects. I underestimated the "short build" [...]

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien / Tony, Otaki

My second post features and old Otaki Ki-61 (from the mid-70s). It's a very basic kit, but it goes together well, and seems accurate in scale and shape. I think there is a lot of life in the 1970s Japanese kits, even though the lack of [...]

Curtiss P-36, 27th Pursuit Squadron, Cleveland National Air Races

This is my first post at iModeler, and I wanted to share my version of the 27th Pursuit Squadron CO's plane, as it appeared at the Cleveland National Air Races in September 1939. At that time the P-36 was the most modern US fighter [...]

P-47D, Academy 1/48, 313th FS/ 50th FG, Philip Savides

Here is my last built. The Academy kit was a surprise for me. Very nice and easy kit. I used LM decals. As usual every comment is welcome! Link with the details for Philip Savides: (link)
