Italieri F 16 1/48

Eduard 1/48 Nieuport-17 VVS RKKA
Again, the red stars! This time it's Nieuport-17 aircraft of the Baltic Fleet, the 20-ies.

I first saw a mention of Lt Frank Cronin on page 24 of the Osprey book "F4U Corsair Units of the Korean War". Considering we had the same name I sought to try to locate him to say hello. I did locate him and wrote him a letter. [...]

Video: Meet The Fokker - 1/48 D.XXI – Finished-ish!
The 0.5% of unfinishednessness was due to the fact I'd forgotten to add the prop spinner - which you can see shining like a beacon of stupidity at the bottom right of the frame. It's been Alcladed but still needs a yellow band. That and [...]
Supermarine Attacker from Trumpeter in 1/48 scale
Still keen on the Fleet Air Arm; I've just finished one of Trumpeter's latest. The Attacker didn't quite make its mark as noticeably as the USN Banshee & Panther although similar in performance. The tailwheel undercarriage wasn't a [...]
48th scale North American F-86D Sabre Dog
This model represents the first production single seat fighter to which air-to-air missiles replace the classic gun armament.
The Monogram kit is built out of the box and I do not recall any fit issues. I used several shades of Alclad [...]
