A surprisingly challenging project that I made more so by adding rigging. Very fiddly with extensive use of photo-etch. Definitely a skill builder, but now I have a Zeppelin in my WWI model collection.
The back story: In 1969 I bought a brand new Mustang. I was a senior in high school and had saved my summer job money for years. It was bright yellow with the basic 302 ci engine. Black interior. I took it to college the next year. [...]
Japan selected the F-4 Phantom II as its new fighter at the end of the 1960s. On 1 November 1968, this choice was made public and Japan became one of the few countries that license-produced this aircraft.The Nihon Koku Jietai [...]

After reading Hemingways A farewell to arms I got inspired to build a WWI aircraft. I chose the Albatros and painted it in the Jasta-scheme. The first part of the build was really enjoyable, even more because of the Quinta Studio [...]
The Tamiya 1/48th scale Spitfire Vb is certainly a go-to kit of mine if I am looking for a stress free build. The parts fit and engineering are still highly competitive although the kit came out over 25 years ago. You can typically find [...]
