1/48 scale modeling

Red Yak

Here’s another older build of mine, the Czech Model 1/48 Yak-15 in the red of the Soviet Aerial Demonstration Team. I remember this being a great kit for a limited run model. If you haven’t done a limited run kit before and like early [...]

Russian naval 10-ton tow tractor 1/48

Not exactly an airplane, but airplane related. I usually build airplanes and I started building Su-33 and planned to make some sort of diorama with it. But the problem was, I couldn't find any appropriate vehicle to place it next to it. [...]

He-219 Uhu, by Tamiya in 1/48

When I got back into modeling, I had been out for a long time and was amazed at what detail could be attained with resin. So of course I took a very good model the Tamiya He-219 Owl, and try and make it better. I used the Aires resin [...]

Vought F4U-1D Corsair – US Navy VF-84 – USS Bunker Hill - Febr.1945

Bonjour chers iModelers, I am glad to introduce my latest model, a very classic Corsair from VF-84, but I wanted it on my shelf. It is the well-known Tamiya kit which is, despite of its age, a more than excellent kit. My first try with [...]

RF-84F Thunderflash, Heller 1/48

Hallo again! Here is my 2nd article. RF-84F Thunderflash, German Air Force, 1959. A lovely aircraft for me. The kit is the old Heller with raised lines. A nice kit, but the decals are a little fat. The cameras are handmade. Of course every [...]

Gloster Meteor, the nose job one.

Monogram 1/48 AD-6 backdated to an AD-3 of VMA 212 in Korea

This started out as OOB build using kit decals. Unfortunately they were toast and did not cooperate when being applied. I used Euro decals for the Skyraider and they were excellent. I scratchbuilt the early AERO bomb racks then added [...]

What-if… RAAF Dassault Rafale

This is the second in a series of ‘what if’ aircraft that I’m building. In 1999 the Australian Department of Defence announced Project AIR 6000 "New Air Combat Capability (NACC)", which was intended to find a replacement [...]

Eyes in the Sky…1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-15-I “Babs”, Imperial Japanese Army ” Tiger Squadron”

My dad´s next finished Imperial Japanese subject and fifth contribution to the Empire of Japan group build. After four combat aircraft, this time a recon plane. The very nice Fine Molds kit, fit is very good, except the one-piece canopy [...]
