Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Little Fokkers
Hi All! Christmas is coming sooo... I built these little planes (1:72) as christmas presents. This time aesthetics was more important than authencticity but I tried my best to keep tha balance between the two things. The DR.1 is for [...]
Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Swift FR 5
In the years immediately following the Second World War, the pace of aircraft development slowed in Britain. In part, this was due to the fact that no immediate enemy was perceived, which is a natural reason for governments to slow the [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-86A Sabre
I did this Sabre back in 2003 and recently re-photographed it.
The Sabre almost didn't happen. Had the Air Force not been willing to delay the F-86 program while North American undertook to study the swept wing research done by [...]
1/72 British Navy Jets – Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Sea Vixen
I promised another series of older builds - here they are: the Novo Sea Hawk F.G.A 6, the ModelCraft Sea Vixen FAW.2, and the Premiere Sea Venom FAW 21.
Again, no seam filling or extra detailing. I did add a whip aerial to the Sea Venom, [...]
1/72 Bf 109 G-6, Me 262 A-1A, Fw 190 D-9
For something different, I thought I'd post a collection of German fighters I built quite a few years ago. These were all built before I did anything other than just finishing them out of the box, slapping on some paint, and putting on a [...]
RAN De Havilland Sea Venom FAW.53 cockpit
Another very black cockpit from the ANAM museum at Moorabbin airport outside Melbourne, Australia. This time the much more cramped office of a side by side seated Sea Venom. It is very clear this early jet is made of wood, as can be seen [...]
Kinetic 1/48th BAe Sea Harrier FA.2
There just something great about the Harrier and such a shame they taken out of service far too early.
Still there good kits released of this classic British aircraft and Kinetics' 1/48th Sea Harrier FA.2 is a very good kit eventually. End [...]
RAN Fairey Firefly AS.6 cockpit
Here are a few photos from Australian National Avation Museum at Moorabbin airport, Melbourne, Australia. Thought someone might like a "sit-around" in the cockpit of Fairey Firefly AS.6, WD 827. General impression is good view [...]
Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk 1
This is the old tooling of Airfix's Mk 1 Hurricane. I chose to model it "in flight" and mounted the aircraft on a clear plastic pole. The base is a fence post top covered with model railroad static grass. Mostly the kit was built [...]
