Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I started building this to be marked with the kit decals but a photo on the web blew me away.
This is more of a study in interpreting B&W colors than being correct so this is my take right or wrong. I messed up placing the wing [...]
Hi Everyone...
Today I finished up the Mitsubishi J2M in the colors of an actual Ki-61 that was captured by the U.S. Marines during WWII. I think it catches the spirit of the "What If" without going to overboard. Next is a P-39 [...]
Time for another black cockpit, been a while now. Although I have filed a Sit-Around from a RAN Sea Venom before I think you can take one more. This time it´s the very nice cockpit from from the WZ 939 at the Classic Jet Fighter museum at [...]

As the profipack, the kit comes with extra detail and of course masks. Only problems occurring was a tiny gap in the wing root, flimsy front landing gear and a slight bent nose aerial. Painting was done in Tamiya and Revell paints, both [...]
Revell 1/144 U-Boat VIIC/41 Atlantic Version.
Starting mid-1943, 91 u-boots Type VII C/41 have been launched. By then, the conditions of the battle had totally changed. The wolfpack tactic achieved then seldom positive results against [...]
