Cleaver’s Inspiration
While working on the two armor kits I recently posted I listened to the Audible version of Tom Cleaver’s Holding the Line, a Book about the naval air war in Korea. The book was very enjoyable and inspired me to build a Korean War [...]
Tamiya Panzer III
I had so much fun doing the Monogram Panzer IV, I decided to do a second armor project and chose the Tamiya Panzer III Ausf. L. This one is out of the box and as every 1/48 Tamiya armor kit I’ve done, it was very enjoyable. Good detail [...]
Modelsvit 1/48 P-51H/F-51H
The P-51H/F-51H was the last of the single seat ponies built by NAA. It was made in kit form for 1/48 scale in 1999-2000 by HiPM (best forgotten) and Classic Airframes (not the easiest build.) It wasn't till Dec 2019 when Modelsvit [...]
SG-38, 1/48 Special Hobby
This small and not-so-well known plane is my latest build. The goal was to practice wood textures and rigging before I start other, larger projects.
There are multiple packaging released by Special Hobby, both in 1:72 and 1:48 scale. You [...]
Macchi C.202 Serie III
I decided to post this after seeing Stéphane Bredel’s excellent build of another Macchi C.202.
I built this kit way back in 2005.
The subject this model represents is the aircraft M.M.7720, 84-1, which was almost certainly flown by [...]
Macchi C.202 Folgore - 21° Gruppo Autonomo C.T. - 1943
Bonjour dear iModelers,
I wanted to make a "full options" model, with difficult camouflage, just to test my possibilities. My choice fell on the MC.202 Folgore d'Hasegawa, re-boxed by Eduard in 2016 in Limited Edition (#1132), [...]
Oh noes! TC built a grey jet!
Done for a customer. The only 5th generation jet I find interesting. Definitely a beautiful design,
Given my complete lack of knowledge about the Rafale, I will quote here from Wikipedia:
The Dassault Rafale is a twin‑engine delta‑wing [...]
Airfix 1/48 Gloster Meteor F.8
Nice Airfix model, except of nose cone mounting everything was smooth. Hope you like it. Cheers!
Monogram 1/48 AV-8B
Hello gentlemen,
This is my latest work.
It take more than 25 years for complete.
I had started it in my age 25 and finished it at 50.
So I didn’t touch up the cockpit that I made 25 years ago.
Thank you for watching my work!
Banzai!…1/48 Yokosuka (Kugisho) D4Y1 Model 11 Suisei “Judy” Imperial Japanese Navy
My dad´s next contribution to the Empire of Japan GB.
As far as I´ve read the Judy was Fine Molds first 1/48 release, dating back to 1993. So there are some fit issues. As you can see on the pics, the inner landing gear doors have [...]
