Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6

In spite of some fit issues, Dragon's Ju 88G variants have been a favorable topic. The variety of FuG antenna arrays and camouflage schemes culminated in the build of nearly two squadrons.

Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader

This build was the Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader. It was detailed with Eduard photo etch detail sets for the cockpit and the bomb bay. I also used the SAC metal landing gear set. The scheme is the “Maggie’s Drawers” of the 416th BG – [...]

Come see my IIc at sea.

Are you tired of this one yet? This is my interpretation of the ubiquitous 'Nicki,' a Sea Hurricane Mk.IIc that served aboard the escort carrier HMS Nairana during '44. Its colors and composition, or at least its squadron, has been the [...]

Flying Kiwi

This the last of six P-40s I built earlier this year for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. A seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

Phönix D. IIa, Special Hobby, 1:48, Fw. Karl Teichmann, Flik 17J, 5 victories

When I recently put the D.I version, it is necessary to add the D.II version from the same manufacturer. Made the same modifications as D.I, plus added aileron balancing that was omitted from the kit. The D.II version had, unlike the D.I, [...]

Retired project

Retired nearly 2 years ago and thought I would return to something I hadn’t done for over 55years! Glad to see Airfix models are still around so I bought a few to begin. A few mistake have been made, eyesight not what it once was and [...]

Pacific Island Photo Diorama

As some of you are aware, I recently got some background/bases from Coastal Kits. This company specializes in making "realistic" backgrounds which are intended to be used for photographs of scale models. With the backgrounds, you [...]

RNLAF Percival Proctor III 1/48 (Dora Wings DW48006)

Hi all, as far as I can see this is the first post of a Percival Proctor on iModeler. I have to admit that I’ve never heard of this aircraft myself before, but in my quest for 1/48 scale aircraft that served in the Royal Netherlands Air [...]
