Supermarine Spitfire IXc 1/24 Airfix
Yes, yes, yes. I do it. 🙂 My dream is done. Only decals and seatbelts aftermarket. And some little homemade parts 🙂
Ford Tri-motor
Looking through some pics of my old builds from the Jurassic period, here's an oldie. Revell's box scale (about 1:77) a friend got at a garage sale. Someone had already started building it, got some paint on parts still attached to the [...]
Oh the Humanity! A 1 1/2 year hurricane.
The disaster was unexpected, power full machines thrown about with disregard. It was the 1 1/2 year old Hurricane Anthony. Don't let your eyes off of one! Repairs are already underway.

It was in fact the FM-2 [...]

Undoubtedly, I was inspired to build this model by Janusz Meissner's book entitled "Genowefa's Sting". I have no idea if it was ever published as an English version, but I consider it one of the most important books [...]
Surrender...1/48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 22, IJN/RNZAF
Besides all the US naval stuff by my dad, he decided to turn Japanese a bit.
New Eduard kit, a bit over-engineered, lots of detail but also many small plastic and PE parts. Fuselage to wing fit had some tension and needed work. Engine [...]
