Hellenic Falcon: Hasegawa F-16D Block 52+

The Conformal Fuel Tanks and avionics added to the Block 52+ were a quantum leap for the Fighting Falcon in terms interception range and bombing capabilities. Unlike the real aircraft where the CFTs were made from the same materials like [...]

Airfix 1:48 Hawker Hunter F.6

Not a long story to tell for this one. The Airfix 1:48 Hunters are pretty nice kits; they've got some clever engineering, especially in the intake area, although it's not done with the finesse one would find in a recent Tamiya kit. I added [...]

Airfix Fairey Gannet AS4 1/48.

Hi folks, long time no posts and I apologise about that, life has changed for me. My marriage broke down and I am now living with my dear old mum down in Devon. I now have a man cave to build in and astash to play with. Anyhow, I saw this [...]

Medic!...1/48 Austin K2Y Ambulance

After some pause, time for a 1/48 vehicle between all the aircraft. Tamiya kit oob, thanks to the quality it was an easy and straight forward build. Painted with AC RC Forrest Greenn Build thread here (link)

1/48 Revell F-86D Sabre Dog

Here is Revell's 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog built entirely OOB and finished with Vallejo acrylics. It is a really nice kit with engraved panel lines, good fit, and nice detail in the wheel wells. The only trouble I had with the build was in the [...]

Dieppe Hurricane: my take on Arma Hobby favourite

Bought this kit directly from the maker during their pre-sale deal simply because of box art. Fact is I’ve been wanting to build a 1/48 Hurricane for too long, and getting a 4 cannon gunboat MK.IIc with an unusual (and very weathered) [...]

Centennial Brrrrt...1/48 Fairchild-Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II, 104th FS "Fightin´ O´s", Maryland ANG

2/2024 One of my dad´s more rare excursions in the modern jet world. IMO still the most bada$$ ground attacker and CAS aircraft. As I´ve read it is declared dead once again in a few years...let´s see. Hobby Boss kit, mostly oob. HB did [...]

Early Rat...1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 5, Soviet Airforce

My dad and I are a bit late to the 2024 party because the fotoroom was out of order for some time. But now let´s get finally started, a bunch of already finished models to come. The new I-16 Type 5 kit by Ukrainian company Clear Prop. The [...]
