First attempt at a battleship and first attempt at the scale. It turned out quite well, I think - they never turn out as well as we hope they might, eh ? The good thing was that I made a lot of mistakes during the building, but I also [...]
Here's a rescue from my Shelf of Doom. It's the old Italeri kit in 1:72 I bought on impulse from the bargain table about 15 years ago just because it was cheap and appealed to me. I thought about building it several times, but put it off [...]
Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit
I assembled the latest Macross kit from Hasegawa, which was released last year.
The kit is very easy to assemble and is finished with details all over the body.

1/24 Fujimi, built for the Le Mans 100 GB, more pic's, details there, driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme, a controversial finish to this race !
my camera does strange things with the colour depending on lighting and background !
Today, I'm posting about a 1/72 Mustang III from Arma Hobby. I tried to recreate an aircraft as it appeared in early 1944 when it was deployed with the RAF's No. 19 Squadron. As you all know, this Mustang B/C type kit from Arma Hobby is [...]
