Italeri 1/72 KC-135R Stratotanker, 100th ARW

This is the Italeri KC-135R built out of the box. I used a mixture of kit decals and those from a Wolfpak sheet. I attempted to build this (foolishly) as part of a club Blitz build over a weekend. I almost got there too. A couple of weeks [...]

Eduard Fw-190 A8 1/72 “weapons maintenance”

The Eduard Fw-190 A8 is a realy nice kit and if you like, you can go further by adding one of Eduards superb brassin parts. I decided to make a maintenance scene in a little hangar (custom made). Let me know what you think about this [...]

Airfix Bf-109 E3 1/72 “Forced Landing”

My newest project is the Airfix BF-109 E in 1/72 scale. The figures are from Zvezda, named "british recon team". I airbrushed my models with "Mr. Hobby" colors and did some dust dirt with "mig ammo" (airplanes [...]

Aerobatic – BAE Hawk Red Arrows vs. Aermacchi MB-339A Frecce Tricolori

1/72 Revell BAE Hawk and 1/72 Italeri Aermacchi MB-339A in aerobatic color schemes flying side by side. I thought it would be a nice change from grey military schemes. In 2016, my brother attended English Royal International Air Tattoo [...]
