In an Imodeler exclusive - here are a few photos of the new Airfix 1:72 Ju87 Stuka which is about to arrive in the shops. I built this for Airfix Model World Magazine and it is featured in the new January issue of the mag which hit the [...]

Avia B-534 Serie IV. as Hungarian booty - KP 1:72

Hi All! As You see I don't give up building in 1:72 - old habits die hard 😉 - and don't giveup updating ancient things. This B-534 was in my stash for more than 20 years 🙂 . This wasn't a bad kit back then. Now there are sevaral [...]

Target Tug Thunderjet, pt 1

Hi all! I signed up to iModeler a long time ago , but since then I have only checked other postings. This will be my first own. It will serve as a test but also to see if I can gain anything (like a whip/carrot...) from posting here. Now, [...]

1/72 Grumman J2F-6 Duck

This is a build I did back in 2012. Although I really don't like doing bi-planes at my scale (mostly all that rigging!), I have always loved the Duck and wanted to build one. This is the old Airfix kit (see box shot), and I built this [...]

1/32 Hasegawa Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8 built OOB, except for an Eduard PE seat harness. AK Interactive acrylic paints, except for the RLM 74-it was a bit light, so I used Gunze-Sangyo. The base is from Zoukie-Mura. Weathered with oils. I [...]

FMA I.Ae. 27 Pulqui I. 1:72 AllianceModels

It is just for interesting. I made this kit about nearly 20 years ago when we received a sample from AllianceModels at Model and Maquette Magazine (long defunct sadly). These kits were fairly rare even when they released (and not too high [...]

1:48 Marine H-34D Seahorse

Out of the box build, having fun weathering as I like to treat it as a 3D illustration. I've been experimenting with different techniques, pastels, graphite pencils and a paper stump.
