Update of the camouflage of my P40 N-5 CU of the 49th FG, 7 FS – MAUVE model 1/48
Hi all,
Following the information received on a forum concerning the camouflage of the P-40 N with the serial number corresponding to mine (Presence of green spots on the wings and horizontal control surfaces), I reviewed my camouflage. I [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Douglas Skyraider VNAF
Hello!
This is my VNAF Spad, a very nice kit from Tamiya. Used some Eduard PE and decals from AOA, since the originals were too old. Cammo was free hand painted (Gunze) and I scratch built a few details, like the wiring to the ejection [...]
1/48 Hasegawa P-39D-1 Air A Cutie
From the limited Edition Air-A Cutie boxing. A fairly easy kit to build for the most part. Much easier to build than the Eduard P-400 but with less detail (I had built an Eduard P-400 Profipack kit over a decade ago), but if I had to [...]
1/48 Scale SEAFIRE XV.
I don't remember who's kit this is as I never took a photo of the box art and I don't remember when I built it. However with hardly any photos, I must have built it "OOB."
Enjoy!
Spitfirepalooza: an Old Addition
Here’s one I did some years ago, the notorious Hasegawa Spitfire Mk. IX. I remember it being a typically good Hasegawa kit. The short nose is obvious and a bit distracting for me. Fortunately, the Eduard Spitfires have come along o give [...]
1/48 Seversky P-35A.
This is the recent Wolfpack re-issue of the Hobbycraft kit. While it is old, the basic plastic is pretty nice with a few accuracy issues. I remember building the HC P-35 around 1995 and enjoying it, so I thought I’d give this one a go. [...]
1/48 Tamiya P-47D “Nut Cracker” 405th FG
This is one of my favourite all time markings for the P-47.
The decals are from the Aeromaster Special "P-47's of the 405th FG" and I have quite a few more to build from this series of sheets (3 parts) if interested contact [...]
Fernando Soto's F4U-5NL (Hasegawa 1/48
Fernando Soto's Corsair, done back in 2003 with the Hasegawa 1/48 F4U-5N kit
A little-known fact of Corsair operations is that of the six air forces that flew the type operationally, two used their Corsairs against each other in the last [...]
1/48 Rhodesian Air Force aircraft
This is my collection of 1/48 aircraft as used by the Southern Rhodesian Air Force and the Rhodesian Air Force. I cannot remember which kit is what make.
All decals were home made.
There are mods done to the Riems Cessna 337, the 2 x [...]
1/48 Eduard Spitfire IXc & Airfix Spitfire F.22
The IXc has been done as one of the aircraft flown by Jack Malloch when he was with 237 (Rhodesia) Sqn in Italy in 1945 and the F.22 has been done as the one he refurbished in Rhodesia in the late 1970's and eventually died in it, when it [...]
