BAE Hawk 1/72 Italeri
This is Italeris kit of the Finnish version of BAE Hawk.
It has somewhat better detailing than the usual Italeri kits.
I only did some minor detailing and weathering with a graphite pencil.
F-20 Tigershark 1/72 Hasegawa
This is another nice kit from Hasegawa, built out of the box.
Unfortunatley I used Johnson floorpolish as clear coat on this model, and put too thick layers of it, so the polish has cracked in some places (you can see it under the cockpit [...]
Gavia 1/48 Polikarpov Po-2
Hello! Another model of the box - at that time it Po-2, owned by Aviation border troops of the USSR, the 50s of the last century. Built with little or no modifications, only slightly fiddled with wing-racks. Online not so many models of [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b
Hasegawa's excellent Typhoon made better with the inclusion of Barracuda cockpit, wheels and exhaust, invasion stripes, roundels and fin flashes were painted with the Montex Masks, I'm really liking these masks.
SAAB J35ö Draken 1/72
This is the Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit of the Austrian version of J35 Draken.
It is a splendid kit and a joy to build. It is built out of the box, with the pitot tube replaced with stainless wire.
P-51D Mustang 1/72
This is an old Airfix kit that I put together some years ago and tested some weathering techniques on it. The kit and its detail is not so good, but I was happy with the result of the weathering and the worn look of it.
I gave it a base [...]
7TP Polish WWII tank 1/35
I just got a new mobile phone with a 13 megapixel camera, so I thought that I should test it by taking some pictures of models I've built.
Starting with the 1/35 scale Polish 7TP tank from early WWII. The kit is by Mirage Hobby I think.
I [...]
Harling Road Airfield, Norfolk 1916-1981
About five miles from my home, heading south on the A11, lies the village of East Harling. The English Whisky Company has a distillery there, and I recently went on a little tour of the place, courtesy of a Christmas gift from my [...]
And now for something completely different …
I was given a Nikon Coolpix S9400 for Christmas so am experimenting with some model photos. When my son was younger, he played Warhammer 40,000 and had a squad of Ultramarines as part of a set that he bought. He preferred Tyranids rather [...]
