1/48 Tamiya Romanian Bf-109 E
Another Romanian subject, this time a Bf-109 E. This model tries to replicate a machine that fought on the Eastern Front, including Stalingrad, with the help of a great Tamiya kit and RB decals.
What baffled me was that Romanian fighter [...]
GasPatch Models 1/48 Me 163B Komet.
What a fantastic kit this is.
Any issues were of my own making and that was only a slight misalignment of the Cannon Cartridge Ejector Chute which caused a little fit issue with the wings.
Everything else was a great fit.
Primed with [...]
Not an Emil!
The dust has barely settled on my last post (yesterday's Bf109E-7) and I'm already sharing another one, but there's a reason for it!
The model is FineMolds' recent Mitsubishi A5M2b "Claude", done with the kit decals in the [...]
Spitfire MKVIII RAAF (Otaki 1/48)
HI all
Here is something different for me. I usually build in 1/72nd scale but I had this old (70's) Otaki/ARII 1/48th scale kit sitting in my stash and I decided to get it a go.

I Might Be in a Rut…
Yep; it's me again with yet another 109! This time the object of my affection is the Tamiya kit, done as a Bf109E-7 from 9/JG 27 during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Unlike the Airfix kit I posted last time around this one has [...]

Lots of aftermarket items added to this build. The engines, cowlings, propellers, control surfaces, cockpit, control panel, guns, and wheels. Foxbot decals were also used to replace the kit ones. I fabricated the pitot head on the fin, [...]
1/48 Fine Molds A5M2b Claude
Just some photos from my recent build of a Fine Molds A5M2b Claude. Very easy kit to build and no major issues. I really enjoyed building this one. I'll write a full article soon (too busy.)
To get the slight gold/yellow tone of the [...]
1/48 SAAF Spitfire MkIX
Hi all! First post after lurking for a while.
The South African Airforce has a wonderful history with the Supermarine Spitfire. First flying them in WW2. The Spitfire also produced one of the great South African aces in Adolf 'Sailor' [...]
9 – Testors OV-10A Bronco
I found one of my favourite airplanes and in 48th scale there aren't many options on it.
A really fun kit but very little detail so had to create my own, mostly in the cockpit, I added ejector levers, wiring, fuselage ribbing, some boxes, [...]
