Today in Stockholm, part 5
Continuing our coverage of the weekend's modeling venue Stockholm, here are some highlights from the armor categories...
Hasegawa 1/32 Scale Bf 109 G-4 Trop
Hello All,
This is my first post on iModeler. I've been on an "Axis Kick" as of late-I’ve got 7 different 1/32nd scale models going right now: Bf 109 E-4/7, G-2, K-4, FW 190 A-4, D-9 Ki-84, Ki-61 (Yes I suffer from Modeling [...]
Airfix early Spit....
When this kit first came out I was happy to get an early model Spit with a two blader, my favorite version. It turned out to be kind of toylike, "soft" looking somehow. I dunno maybe my head is soft. The "straight" [...]
1/48 Spitfire Mk.I

Hasegawa 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109-G6
Purchased this kit when it was first released somewhere in the mid nineties (I think). It was my first experience with using resin detail parts. Cockpit is the OOP KMC kit which was absolutely fabulous in that it just dropped in without [...]
1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b
An early version of Spitfire from the past which is still one of favourite pieces of my Spitfire collection.
This is 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.1b with the markings of No 92 Sqdn. during the summer of 1941. One of the original cannon armed [...]
