Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Waste not, want not. Done last year.
After the brilliant Airfix Spitfire XIV came out, I had no further use for the screwed-up Academy kit. Annd I had enough parts left over from some Airfix Spitfire 22/24 projects that I had a fuselage [...]
Hi all
one more finished last days. Russian La-5 fighter of Hero of the Soviet Union G. Kostylev.
New mold from KP, much better than old one but still require lot of attention during work especially around front of fuselage (which i did [...]
Thanks to @michaelt for the inspiration with the three Me-262s he's doing at the WIP group. I didn't know Hobby Boss made this kit till I saw his. The Me-262A-1a/U3 photo-recon aircraft was relatively rare, though one still exists - the [...]

This time I present to you the last Yugoslavian model I built in 2018. It is the Academy's Mig-29, which needs quite a few extras to look decent. I used Eduard photo-etched parts, Brassin cockpit, wheels, rockets and exhaust nozzles, Aires [...]
At the beginning of this article I will take the liberty of going back a little and of placing this model of a Ki-84 Hayate in my personal modelling biography. Around 2005 the latent modelling virus, which had been latent since my youth, [...]
I've tried to improved the simple surface detail by adding some missing panel lines and rivets. I’ve replaced the plastic wheels with the resin set from Eduard and I’ve used AK real colour lacquer RAF Dark Green and RAF Dark Earth as [...]
