Revell 1/32 F4U-1A Corsair

This is Revell's 1/32 Corsair from around the time I was born, so it's old. I picked it up for £10 during last year's Black Friday sales, due to the minimal investment I felt it was a ripe candidate for experimentation and it's the first [...]

Folland Gnat T.1 1/72

Well, don't take it too serious. It's just a kind of joke you know. An ultimate fiction made from the new Airfix kit of that famous British trainer. Just a few words about the story behind: I asked my wife about the liveries offered by the [...]

1/72 Swiss Bf-109G-6

The history of the Bf-109 is well documented and so I'm not going it into it today 🙂 About a week ago, in the midle of some long-time buildings, I felt like a fast build. Browsing through my stash, I found an old, simple (maybe too [...]

UH-34d 1/48 Gallery Models

After about 2.5 months of exclusive building and a quarantine, this is now over. It is the uh-34 by Gallery Models, which is now sold by Trumpeter. A few words about the kit: It is good, rich in detail and plain ok for the asking price. It [...]

P-38 Lightning 1/48 Hobby Boss

I build this "easy kit" from Hobby Boss last year for group build on E-Day competition. Because i need dirty look this airplane before transfer to USA i first time down decals by waterproof abrasive paper. New experience 🙂
