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 [...]
Two become one, one becomes two: a strange modelling story about an even stranger flying vehicle,: A-90 "Orlyonok" Ekranoplan, part I
The mysterious aircraft presented here is surprisingly difficult to categorise. Although it flies at a speed of several hundred kilometres per hour and is reminiscent of a classic aeroplane in many parts, it also moves with a spray or dust [...]
SBD Dauntless in 1/144 – the second of three
SBD Dauntless from USS Lexington, November 1943. Another Brengun kit, using the photo etch details and vac-form canopy. Finished in MRP paints, Michael Harding oils and AK weathering pencils and powders.
1/144 Armory Models Bf-109

1/144 Boeing 307 Stratoliner.
This is the Roden kit which has been available for a few years. I’ve always wanted one of these in this scale and bought it when it was a brand new release. Unfortunately, the decals were useless as always with Roden products. Vintage [...]
Dogfight Double – 1/144 Spitfire v Me109
A real gem of a kit from Beacon Models, and at around £21 for the two aircraft included it's an absolute bargain. There's a surprising level of interior detail for such a small kit, and although almost impossible to see once the fuselage [...]
Miniwing 1/144 Bell-206b Jetranger (Croatian Air Force markings)
Another tiny project completed...and this was really tiny. I had a chance to fly in real one almost 15 years ago, then I made one in 1/72, now I tried to go even smaller. I found restock of Miniwing Kiowa OH-58A at my favorite shop, and [...]
