Trumpeter T-38C Talon, 1/48
Hello again iModeler! Here is my Trumpeter T-38C Talon, built completely OOB. This was a fun kit and I had no problems with it during construction. I purchased and built this kit last summer, so it did not stay idle in my stash for long. [...]
Academy MiG-21MF Fishbed, 1/48 scale
Hello iModeler! This is one of three kits I managed to finish last year. I used a CMK resin cockpit and wheel wells, and finished it in generic USSR colors using the kit decals and Akan paints. Not a bad kit for the price but I think I [...]

Took a bit longer to complete due to several (selfinflicted) problems. Mounted the nozzles inverted but could fix it. Then followed the camoplan in the Caracal instructions but that was wrong and reshaped the camo. When my [...]

Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk.1 Tropical
I managed to finish this just before the end of 2020 so 2021 can start with a new project.

I put a lot [...]
