Build and detailing kit Revell ( ICM) ...scratch + eduard zoom interior cockpit
1/35th M973 SUSV (Small Unit Support Vehicle)

Malaysian RF-5E Tiger Eye – Airfix 1/72
When I saw a pic of the Malaysian scheme in a magazine, I had to build it. I ordered a couple different sets of after market decals (none for an F-5), but they didn't fit the size of the model. I was surprised when I opened the box that [...]

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 in 1/48 from Eduard
I've been putting this kit off for a while until I felt calm enough to do the freehand mottling scheme required by these early Emils.

Tail wheeled operational jet fighter? Exactly how many other were there?
