Trumpeter 1/32 F4U-4 Corsair

I made it in 2011. Trumpeter's 1/32 F4U-4 in the livery of the training unit of the 50'S. The hint is in the profiles published by Kagero. I took the liberty to place the load underwing although it is probably not correct. The national [...]

Review: Kinetic 1/24th P-47D Thunderbolt 'Razorback' review

Cessna single engine airplane retractable landing gear

There is a 1/48 Cessna O-2 Skymaster on the build pile, whose civilian counterpart, the Cessna 337, has quite a few maintenance logbooks with my signature in them. Looking at the model brought back memories of the most terrifying aspect [...]

1/48 Archangel 2005

Another one I finished last year. 1/48 Hasegawa F-4E I used a True Details cockpit and the decals are from Syhart

1/48 Hasegawa F4U-4 Corsair

Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk1

Back to the hobby: Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Floatplane

After two years absence here is a classic kit. Out of the box with some added cable. Ciao a tutti!

Aircraft Group Build – Survey Says: Phantoms!

I've tabulated the survey results. The top two contenders for the build were the F-4 Phantom and the WWII Japanese fighter/interceptor. The Phantom received one more 1st rank vote, but double the 2nd rank votes, so I'll call that a clear [...]

1/48 Revell Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/R-2

Hello Folks I would like to present my latest completed build. This time it is Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/R-2 from Revell. This kit I think is pretty old but was reissue two years ago as Messerschmitt Me 410 B-6 / R-2 in Pro Modeller form. [...]

1/48 Italeri Arado Ar-196A

Completed today, I built it in the markings of one of the Bismark's Arados. Heavily weathered due to the rough life it had. If only for a fairly short time. 🙂 I have a catapult for it. That will be built soon, and will go together in a [...]
