Guerre d'Indochine...1/48 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat, Aviation Navale

My dad finished the next French in the line. Hobby Boss kit with Berna Decals, the nose and fuselage side numbers are a bit oversized, the missing tail "1" was taken from a French Corsair sheet. The roundels come in three pieces [...]

Eduard Fokker Dr.I, 1/48. Udet's Striped Triplane.

Last year I built a Fokker D.VII, and towards the end of that build I started up on this Fokker Dr.I before putting it down, but I felt the motivation to put some work into it a few weeks ago and got to work! This is Eduard's Fokker Dr.I, [...]

One of the "last of the many"and the last of my Bf 109 Gustav quadruplet: Bf 109G-6, JG 302 in spring 1945

This model concludes a group of four Bf 109Gs that I treated myself to as a model-building start to the year. "Treat" is the right term, because what Eduard packs here in the boxes is indeed a well thought-out pampering [...]

VF-82 Iron Men F3H Demon

This is the Hobbyboss 1/48 kit that I started back in 2015 as a model for a YMCA buddy, Ken Sommerfeld, who flew them, and this exact bird. Ken tragically passed away before I finished and I shelved the kit until a couple of months ago. [...]

The 1/48 Tamiya P-47D Razorback “Gail Ann” Project is complete!

At the start of the week I applied decals, lightly weathered the aircraft, added the fine details and installed the canopy. With the aircraft completed I then detailed the display case and mounted the aircraft. The model will be packed up [...]

Under the sign of the bat over an endangered city? No, this time it's not Batman! Arnold Döring's Bf 109 G-6 nightfighter and the "Wilde Sau"

On the "Wilde Sau" night fighting operation If one deals with the air war over Germany at night, one soon claims terms such as "light" and "dark night fighter", "sky bed" or "tame" and [...]

Review: Cyrk Skalskiego ("Skalski's Circus") - Eduard 1/48 Spitfire IX"Desert War" group build

Had not the RAF been able to bring a new Spitfire into combat in the summer of 1942 to face the Fw-190A that could outfly the Spitfire V on every point but turning circle, the war over Northern Europe would have likely taken a different [...]

Bf.109G-10, 1:48 HasegawaYugoslav Partisan Squadron 1945

You know the problem of those never finished box-queens, kits that you start and then put back in the box and forget about? They beckon you every time you open your stash, yet you just ignore them and go for a virgin kit. Well, I have a [...]

Zoukei-Mura Kyushu J7W1 Shinden, 1/48. The 'Magnificent Lightning'.

There are many aircraft out there that subscribe to the 'What If?' idea, but none I find as interesting as the Shinden. Ever since I discovered this machine as a kid it's been one of my favourites, so Zoukei Mura's offering of the aircraft [...]

Revell 1:48 F-84E

I finally got around to this kit, which has been on my to-do list for quite a long time. It's pretty much OOB, but I did use a resin seat from Quickboost. It's probably not quite as pleasant a build as the Tamiya F-84G, and there are some [...]
