1/48 Trumpeter C-47 conversion to the Tropical Tilly R4D-5 from the 1951 movie “The Thing from another world”.
This build was a little different. I have always been a fan of the 1950’s and 1960’s horror and sci-fi movies. One of my favorites is the Howard Hawks 1951 movie “The Thing From Another World”. The movie is set in the arctic at an [...]

This kit is the Tamiya's offering in 1/48, [...]
Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat

Airfix 1/48 RAAF P-51 Mustang
Airfix 1/48 P-51 in RAAF livery. Kit is built out of box with an added photo etched lap belt. It is a nice kit overall but the landing gear is a little flimsy. I used Vallejo paints and did weathering with artist oils, thinned acrylics, [...]
