Italian Stallion...1/48 Macchi MC.205 Veltro, Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana
Built in 2013 by my dad. Hasegawa kit oob. Some of you may know that the Hasegawa Veltro isn´t correct and is something between a 202 and a 205, but it looks like a Veltro, my dad didn´t care.
Seatbelts added and EZ Line for the antenna [...]
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 [...]

I used Eduard's p.e. set, a value for money set that provides lots of extra details. I [...]

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien / Tony, Otaki
My second post features and old Otaki Ki-61 (from the mid-70s). It's a very basic kit, but it goes together well, and seems accurate in scale and shape. I think there is a lot of life in the 1970s Japanese kits, even though the lack of [...]
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 [...]
