Mustang IV (and a nod to Matchbox c.1974)
Been determined to build 'Dooleybird' for years simply because of 'that' box art from 1974. Had the MA sheet in the stash since the early 2000's and even had a set of resin 'gills' to fit the Hasegawa kit.
BUT WAIT, Airfix announced they'd [...]
A torn loose seat, sawing clear parts and a Heinkel in British hands: He-111 "Delta Lily" has a story to tell!
About He-111H-6 "Delta Lily", 260 Squadron RAF
Two questions immediately came to my mind when I first heard about this special He-111 "Delta Lily": firstly, I was puzzled why the British had gone to such great lengths [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Tiger 1
If you’re familiar with my previous articles, you'll know about my affinity for Tamiya 1/48th scale military model kits. Despite their low parts counts they have just about all the detail of 1/35 scale armor kits. There are no flash or [...]
Williams Bros 1/48 Corben Super Ace
Well, I said the Super Ace was hot on the heels of my Ford Flivver and here it is... Fifteen months later! I have to get moving if I'm going to make a dent in the stash!
I had built this kit back in the 90's but it is so spindly it did not [...]
Tamiya Bf-109 E 1/48 revisited in Romanian livery
The build was the usual straight business with a Tamiya kit. I repeated the experience of airbrush highlights, using some Tamiya acrylics mixes. For the upper side RLM-71 Dunkelgrun I used XF-62:1+XF-49:1 (olivedrab+khaki), I highlighted [...]
Korean War...1/48 Douglas AD-4NA Skyraider, VF-194, US Navy
After the French Skyraider, my dad decided to build another one, this time an AD-4NA during the Korean War.
He used the Italeri boxing of the old ESCI kit which was first released in 1979. Most Korean War naval schemes are rather boring, [...]
Vickers Wellington Mk.Ic, Polish 301st squadron, Trumpeter 1/72
Herewith I present you the Vickers Wellington Mk.Ic from the Polish 301st squadron as used in September 1942.
At first I had the idea to build it straight out of the box but since it was a gift from my daughter I decided to make it even [...]
First attempt at Luftwaffe 'washable winter' camouflage: Eduard 1/48 Bf-109G-2
This is my first attempt at a Luftwaffe Eastern Front winter camo scheme, and I chose another of Eduard's lovely 1/48 scale Bf-109 kits as a test subject...
Faced with the prospect of the Russian winter and without having plans in place [...]
