Eduard 1/48 Israeli Air Force Spitfire IX
The aircraft is ex-Czechoslovakian AF and has RAF camouflage scheme. The Phoenix carrying the Spitfire was painted while in Czechoslovakia to provide good fortune for the young pilots ferrying the plane to Israel. The aircraft was [...]
Martin Maryland 167F – Warburton’s War
Hi everybody,
I haven't written anything for really long time... 🙁 Let's start something fresh and old at the same time! 🙂
One year ago, I started new build - Special Hobby's Martin Maryland 167F in 1/48 scale. The most annoying [...]
Aussie Aussie Aussie. :) My 1/48 Amt RAAF Db-7 Boston
Stationed in New Guinea. It passed through Archerfield airport in Brisbane, where I live 5 mins from now.

Hope you like.

Arma Hobby 1/48 Grumman F2F-1
The F2F-1 was the first of a long line of successful Grumman single-seat fighters. The company’s success with the two seat FF 1, which when introduced in 1931 was significantly faster than any U.S. single seat fighter of its time, [...]
Painting a Spitfire
The iconic Spitfire is one of my three most favorite WW II aircraft, the others being the P-47 and P-51. Going all the way back to the old Hawk Models 1/72 Spitfire Mk. 22, 1/48 Monogram Mk. IX and Airfix 1/24 Mk. I, I’ve built at [...]

Not trying to be repetitive here, but I shot some better photos of my 1/48 Trumpeter Mig-23.
1:48 Scale Eduard, F6F-5, “Hellcat”
Not going to get in too much of a chat with this one, as I already have written about their F6F-3. Same build experience with this one. Great overall detail most of the time, and could be improved upon in others. It's an excellent [...]
Monogram 1/48 A6M5 Zero
The Monogram A6M5 Zero is a very simple model. It has no real cockpit detail, a one piece canopy, and you can see through it looking from below through the wheel wells, when the landing gear is down. But when I was 14 years old, I won my [...]
1:48 Scale Tamiya, F4U-1, "Corsair"
Tamiya's F4U in 1:48 scale is a beautiful model, that pretty much builds itself. Fit and finish of the parts is awesome, and the only issue I have found with building these kits, is with building the wing deployed. You MUST be careful of [...]
1:48 scale, Eduard F6F-3, “Hellcat”
Decent kit of Grumman's fighter, and a pleasure to build. I thought it had excellent exterior detail. The prop was a little disappointing, as was the cockpit. I thought they could been better, but at least Eduard captured the look of [...]
