Hughes OH 6A Cayuse, 01602, Spanish Navy.
1/72 Italeri, almost OOB, I added some wire to the undercarriage and tail rotor for strength, finished in MM enamels with Future and MM 30000 acrylic over kit decals.

Weathering: Too much versus Too little?
Right! - How much weathering is too much?
I personally think these Viggens are overdone myself - you don't see them like that in real life...waitaminute!? Oooops!
HobbyBoss Ka-29 "Helix-B"
This is the HobbyBoss Kamov Ka-29 “Helix-B”, in 1/72nd scale. The kit exterior is pretty nice, however, there is very little detail inside of the cockpit or the rear transport compartment. I added a little scratchbuilt detail inside [...]
Wildcat revisited... Tamiya 1/48
This would be one of my earliest Tamiya kits; built, I think, around 1995. I recently read a magazine article by a fellow modeller about his problems with using the right colour for the topsides & the more I looked at mine , the more [...]
Kamov Ka 50 "Hokum", 018, test aircraft Tashkent 1991.
1/72 Italeri, I modified the rotor head, replacing some parts to separate the two rotors, finished in MM enamels with I think Tamiya X22 and MM 30000 over kit decals.
Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster PB150 of 625 Sqn RAF 1945

I scratch-built the [...]
Wasn't going to post it, but.....
This is the Gavia 1/48 Westland Lysander. I hated it. Nothing fitted well, the wings to canopy fit was very hard and decals unusable. I used spares. Even photographing it was a nightmare. A random gust of wind blew it over. I lost a [...]
Revell 1/32 Ju-88 A-1, Norway, 1940
The airframe depicted has been raised from a lake in Jonsvatnet, Norway in 2004 where it sank through the ice in 1940. Even though it was a relatively new airframe built in 1940, it already had a new wing and had been recoded on the [...]
Tamiya 1/32 F-4C Phantom USAF early scheme. Vietnam 1965
This is my Tamiya Phantom in the early USAF gull gray & white colour scheme used until around 1966 when the SEA camo scheme came into use.
I loved building this kit even though it was a few years ago now. Cockpit is Black Box and there [...]
Monogram D-335A4 Pfeil Luft'46
Another What-If? - Luftwaffe1946: After much drawn out fighting, the Germans finally capitulate.
Leaving behind items such as this D0-335 much abused & repaired Arrow. Replaced wing & lower fin in case you hadn't noticed!
Have fun [...]
