Frankenseeflugzeug
Here's a thing I built one time when I was trying to decide on my next project and was thinking I should do something with my large stash of spare parts left over from previous builds and wrecks. (I never throw anything away). I started [...]
Modelsvit 1/48 Me bf. 109 c-3
Early version bf. 109. Could only find limited information on this version. Several source say only 58 C (Clara) variants built spring to late 1938. C1 being the primary version. Same sources state that C-3 and C-4 were experimental and [...]
MKHL FW-190F8
Hi all!
I've been away for a while due work mostly, but I'm back with a freshly finished good old Tamiya Fw-190 F8 kit painted with hungarian markings.
I can't tell too much about the kit, which hasn't been told earlier by other modellers. [...]
Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki GSX1100S Katana
Back in the late 70’s, concerned that the public was growing tired of generic Japanese designs, Suzuki’s Germany branch delegated Target Designs Company to come up with an innovative design that would reflect those times futuristic [...]
Deadly Stringbag...1/48 Fairey Swordfish Mk.II, 836 NAS, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm
My dad hasn´t done a British aircraft, at least with British markings, for a while. Now it was about time.
Great Tamiya kit, also used Tamiya´s PE set for the rigging. Not a bad idea, worth a try and didn´t turn out too bad. But for the [...]

Some more experiments with oils – FW-190 D Tamiya 1/48
In the never ending search for the elusive realistic and at the same time artistic weathering effects for model airplanes I subjected a FW 190 D from Tamiya to some refined techniques.
I went for the RLM 76 Lichtblau - RLM 82 Hellgruen - [...]
MiG-21R for the 'Under Another Flag' GB
So just about eight weeks on this one, everything you see (except the roundels & side number) is straight from the Eduard box, no after-market used at all.
Paint is all acrylic and all mixed 'until it looks about right'. And therein [...]
Eduard 1/48 P-51D-5 Mustang "Nooky Booky II"
2nd kit of 2023- first time building an Eduard kit.
Overall it was a mixed experience, detail was amazing inside and out but definitely a level of "fiddliness" that was frustrating.
Some self inflicted wounds along the way as [...]
Otaki 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate "Frank"
Another old build that I decided to do a little work to. This was originally finished as a factory fresh build since the markings are from the second prototype of the Ki-84. This is an Otaki kit that was first released in 1973. Not too [...]
