iModeler November Awards
November marked a surge of World-class modeling here at iModeler. Not only because of our coverage of the 2015 Scale Modelworld, but because of all the other fantastic contributions to the Headlines. In total, November brought us 128 new [...]
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 [...]
Wood effect – my way
