Josef Priller’s Bf 109E-3 in 1/48

My attempt at the very unusual field resprayed scheme worn by JG.51's Josef Priller's Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 during the Battle of Britain. This one is a nightmare to do freehand but is very satisfying in the end. Build video here: (link)

IL2 'Sturmovik'

Hello again, and back with something you don't see built too often these days: First time I've built an IL2 and first time I've finished an AM kit. Engineering is superb IMO, as long as you take the time to read how other folks built [...]

Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 “Yellow 14”, Hans Joachim Marseille

This build has been posted in the “Work in progress – Aircraft” group, and to see the entire build you may want to check it out there. In 1942, Hans-Joachim Marseille went to Rome for some RandR, returning to Egypt on 24th of August. [...]

Kinetic 1/48 F-16XL

I've always liked the look of the F-16XL and so have always wanted to build one. This was an OK kit to build, there were some issues with the ordinance and I now have a huge amount of spare parts for a 1/48 F-16 as there are parts for [...]

My Masterpiece

I did this model a few years ago, but after seeing some really nice B-25s here on iModeler, I decided to share my Monogram PBJ-1J with you all. I call this my "masterpiece" because it's my best example of getting everything [...]

Airfix Desert Spitfire IX 1/72

Hi iModelers: I built a lot of models up to my teens, then abandoned the hobby for years. With my recent retirement, I've built a couple and hope to build a lot more. This is my first one (after a special car model I built as a present [...]

Diamondback Bombcat. 1/48 F-14B Tomcat

Tamiya kit, Steel Beach conversion, Fightertown decals.

AMT 1/48 P-40N “Rosie the Riviter”

Rosie is my entrance into the Teeth and Fangs GB here on iModeler. This A/C flew with the 49th Fighter Group, 7th Fighter squadron, and that's all the information I could find concerning this P-40. I did locate a single B/W photo of the [...]

Sturdy Polikarpov biplane fighter- with a trick!

That is my latest build, a I-153 in Kuomintang markings from 1940, made out of the ICM kit in scale 1:32. Quite a pleasure to build, even when not being a rigging expert, as is the case with me. By the way, for the wires I used etched [...]
