Patrouille Suisse Aerobatic Team, 6 F-5 Tiger II, F-Toys 1/144

My Patrouille Suisse is build with 6 Gashapon kits from Japan. I bought them around 10 years ago before they became ridiculously expensive on Ebay. Detail level of the single airplane is no match if compared with the old Revell kit. I [...]

Curtiss Hawk 75N 1/48

Medallion Models resin kit circa 1990 or so. This is still the most accurate kit of the P-36/Hawk75 in this scale. This model represents an aircraft from the Royal Thai Air Force, 85th Wing, Dom Muang 1944. As one can see this is an old [...]

Tamiya Swordfish Mk.II 1/48, Any Color as long it's Black

Airwar over Austria...Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-6/AS JG27

First 109 for the new season and first new Eduard G-6/AS. A troublefree build like all their new 109s. But the molded on pitot tube still looks off and like with their G-10 kits the elevator trim tabs are too small. The antenna mast has [...]
