P-51D-5 Mustang by Eduard in 1/48.
My first model for 2021. Very happy with the result although it took me much longer to complete than usual. I have a good many Mustangs in this scale & was looking forward to a trouble free build on this one, which is my first [...]
First 2021 build- Tamiya (Italeri) 1/48 Kfz.305 4x2 Cargo Truck
Question to self- Self, what stash denizen can be built (vanquished?) in the least amount of time?... Here's the victim. Not a kit to greatly inspire, as the Italeri roots = meh. Half down drivers window sprue gate shattered despite my [...]
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire MkI
New Eduard edition,first of two finished. Enjoyable build, minor fitting problems with fuselage-wing joint. Strange experience with new Eduard decals.
Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6 JG 300 Hobbycraft 1/48
Oldie but goodie...
Nakajima Type 11, Early production (Irving), Tamiya 1/48

Curtiss P-36, 27th Pursuit Squadron, Cleveland National Air Races
This is my first post at iModeler, and I wanted to share my version of the 27th Pursuit Squadron CO's plane, as it appeared at the Cleveland National Air Races in September 1939. At that time the P-36 was the most modern US fighter [...]
P-47D, Academy 1/48, 313th FS/ 50th FG, Philip Savides
Here is my last built.
The Academy kit was a surprise for me. Very nice and easy kit.
I used LM decals.
As usual every comment is welcome!

Me 109 G6. 9/JG54. Eduard 1/48
Hello
In parallel with my Focke Wulf, here is its brother in arm.
This is the "old mold" from Eduard that I had in my stash for a long time.
Despite some issues with the scale and details, as I am not a rivet counter, It did the [...]
