Hi All,

Major Walter Sigel’s Ju 87R-2 from Stab I./StG 3 – The Aircraft
This is my first post and will be the first part of a series of articles ( at least I hope it will work that way) documenting my build of the Ju 87R-2 flown by Major Walter Sigel Commanding Officer (Grupenkomandeur) from I./St.G 3 in the [...]
White Turkey...Hobby Boss 1/48 Grumman TBM-1C Avenger ASW US Navy
Built in 2016.
Initially my dad wanted to build a RN Mk.I with the Hobby Boss kit. After examining the kit we found out that the intended version wasn´t possible oob, no bubble side windows, no observer seat behind the pilot, no cowl gun. [...]
Eduard Me Bf 109G-6
W. Nr 165350, flown by Lt Anton Hafner, the C/O of 8./JG 51, Tilsit-Ost, August 1944.
Nothing to say about the kit, other than it's close to perfection. No flash or sink marks worth commenting on, and there was not one instance of my [...]
Modelsvit's P-51H Mustang

1/48 Fine Molds Mitsubishi Ki-15
Model was done OOB with the addition of Eduard seat belts. This kit is very well done but it is a shame that the excellent interior details supplied with the kit can not be seen because there is no open cockpit option. This model [...]
Last build of last year…first build of this year. Mengs 1/48 Me-410 heavy fighter.
This was meant to be the last build of the year but she stretched into the first week of the new as it got away from me. I kept her very simple and just tried to concentrate on my paintwork more than anything. I'm still debating if i [...]
Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10
This is my first plane since I built some back in the early 70’. Back then we didn’t bother painting the models, only glued them together and slapped on the decals.
All in all a fun build but I think I’ll stick to armor models 🙂
Tamiya 1/48 Crusader Mk.III
Finally finished a long overdue birthday present from a friend.
This is Tamiya 1/48 Crusader Mk.III, paints are Gunze, weathering with Tamiya Weathering Master and AK.
Desert Storm...Hasegawa 1/48 McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II, VMA-231 USMC
Built in 2018.
Another of my dad´s excursions to the modern world.
Hasegawa kit, not one of their best, some fit issues, steps and gaps.
Bought the kit second hand from a fellow modeller, sadly the decals weren´t really usable anymore so [...]
