MkIV MALE 1917

This is the MkIV Male. The mark four had definitely significant improvements from the Mark one. Some of the main improvements were the improved armour and the re sitting of the fuel tank. A total of over 1200 mark four tanks were built [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang

In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]

Just finished taking the photos for my latest build, this one is for Model Airplane International. Its the Airfix 1/48 Blenheim built as one of 25 Squadrons AI (radar) equipped fighters from the summer of 1940. It will be in the magazine [...]

Saab SK 60 times three! Part III: Saab SK60B /60083 of the 3rd Squadron "Urban Gul" of F21 Wing and my experience with Pilot Replica's long awaited kit!

The Saab SK60/Saab 105 occupies a prominent position in the history of aviation. Its very origin as a project for a civilian four-seater business jet gives it a special status. What is particularly interesting, however, is that it was [...]

Review: Wingsy 1/48 Bf-109E-4: Dolfo Galland's pesonal ride.

Since the development history of the Bf-109E series is well-known and available here with other reviews, this will focus on Adolf Galland's role in the development of different camouflage and markings during the Battle of Britain that [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He 219A-7

The Uhu is another gem from Tamiya. An accurate depiction of a complex aircraft that is easy to build. A custom made cockpit tub weight is included to balance the very heavy tail. Hence, there are no build distractions that in turn, [...]

Oblt. Armin Faber's Fw190 A-3

On the evening of June 23rd 1942 Oblt. Faber landed on an airfield he thought was in western France. It turned out he was landing at RAF Pembrey in Wales, thus presenting the RAF with a perfectly intact 190. After testing Faber's plane the [...]

Tamiya Sturmvogel

This is the classic Tamiya Me 262 kit in 1/48. Had started it and a Monogram Schwable way back in 2016. Had wanted to build a plane base at Rheine since I had been TDY at that base when it had F-4F Phantom IIs. Well hit a few hiccups like [...]
