1/48 Tamiya Dewoitine D.520
Here is my D.520. Its almost straight out of the box except exhaust stacks from ultra cast and a photoetch gunsight from Eduard. The pilot figure is from PJ Productions. Markings are a combination of masks and the god awful Tamiya [...]
Victor – I don’t believe it!
Fans of a certain BBC TV sitcom will recognise the headline! It is, of course, the Handley Page Victor B. Mk 2 (BS). The Victor was a jet powered strategic bomber, which, alongside the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant, formed an [...]

Bf 109E-3 of Swiss AF (Eduard 1/32)

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 “Wildcat”: My First Build of this kit…
Before Tamiya released their 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat", there was only the old Monogram kit. The Monogram kit was little more than a toy, having folding wings and other "Features" that just made the kit a very [...]
Navy Ace Guy Bordelon, VC-3 Korea, Minicraft F4U-5N Corsair
This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now...each year passes and I would miss it, so here goes.
