P-47M-1RE MiniArt
Finally finished up the MiniArt P-47D-30 as a P-47M-1RE of the 56th Fighter Group aka Zemke's Wolfpack.
Thanks Louis@lgardner for the Tamiya decals. Raided my Tamiya bubbletop Jug for the M prop. Used a Quickboost resin C series R-2800 [...]

Bf 109G-4/R6 of Regia Aeronautica (Eduard 1/48)
Well, I found another interesting non-standard Bf 109 paint scheme. Eduard included a nice RA option in their G-4 ProfiPACK, so it was a no brainer for me. A great addition to my 109F in Spanish markings.
I followed Eduard's instructions [...]
