Two become one, one becomes two: a strange modelling story about an even stranger flying vehicle,: A-90 "Orlyonok" Ekranoplan, part II

Sometimes things don't go as planned: I finally managed to get hold of a second kit of this impressive ground effect vehicle to start a double project on the subject - and then I realised that essential components were missing from one of [...]

SNJ-2 conversion, Skytypers 1/72, Heller

I first saw a SNJ around 1961 i was all of five years old. We lived close to Flushing airport in a part of Queens NY. You could see the airfield from my bedroom window. Hearing six radial engines taking of one after another, I could [...]

Airfix 1/48 S2 Buccaneer [new tool]

I posted this one on Britmodleller but want to share here too. I employed the Quinta cockpit decal set, Pavla resin seats, Reskit rocket pods & Xtradecals sheet for an early 1966 HMS Triumph bird. It is painted with Gunze paints [...]

Two become one, one becomes two: a strange modelling story about an even stranger flying vehicle,: A-90 "Orlyonok" Ekranoplan, part I

Tamiya 1/24 IMPREZA WRC 98 SAFARI

I assembled a Tamiya Impreza WRC 98 Safari Rally Spec. All of Tamiya's Impreza kits are excellent, and this one is no exception. As the original kit is a good one, only a few details were needed to complete the kit with the use of etching [...]

Group Captain George Kemp Gilroy DFC and Bar.

George Gilroy was a neighbouring farmer and his family still live nearby. He was an interesting character. He would buy straw from my Dad and roll up with his Massey 135 abd baler, knotted handkerchief on his head and a pair of flying [...]

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, Airfix 1/72

My earliest memory of the Wildcat was seeing Jack Leynwood’s classic box art on Revell’s original release of their 1/32 kit in the late 60s. It shows a pair of Wildcats led by CDR Jimmy Thatch flying over a frantically maneuvering [...]
