1/48 scale modeling

Ju-87B-2 MKHL

Hello everyone, I have recently finished an Airfix Ju-87 Stuka. What to say, it is a nice kit, went together well. I didn't have any difficulties. The only aftermarket set I used was an instrument panel from Yahu. The plane was painted as [...]

Belgian Sea King 1/48

After building a few models at 1/72 last year I decided to build my first 1/48. This Sea King is an iconic helicopter for the Belgian Air Force. It was primarily used for SAR between 1976 & 2019. Last flight took place in March 2019 [...]

Big Hairy Bird: Two models of one Marauder

According to Aeromaster Decals description, this was the most flamboyant B-26B that ever flew. With the colorful teethed eagle head it flew with 599th BS, 397th BG. Then, the aircraft was passed on to 387th just before the end of the war, [...]

Revell 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Kit #85-5253

A nice little kit with a few problems. Took a little over a month to complete. The cockpit is pretty sparse. The rudder pedals were blobs so I placed Eduard pedals over them. I made harnesses supplied by a company called Kam I Zukuri or [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6

Come see my IIc at sea.

Are you tired of this one yet? This is my interpretation of the ubiquitous 'Nicki,' a Sea Hurricane Mk.IIc that served aboard the escort carrier HMS Nairana during '44. Its colors and composition, or at least its squadron, has been the [...]

Flying Kiwi

This the last of six P-40s I built earlier this year for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. A seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

Tamiya 1/48 scale Kawasaki Ki-61-1 Tei Hien

I finished this on February 1, 2024, just about a month after completing the Tamiya 1/48 F-14A, which I thought, given its size and complexity, was the best engineered kit I had ever built. Well, this Ki-61 is obviously smaller and [...]

Hellenic Phantoms: Hasegawa and Meng's 1/48th R/F-4E.

Hellenic Phantoms had colorful variations throughout their long service period in Greece. Years ago, I bult Hasegawa's 'Hellenic Air Force Special' model of an aircraft that commemorates 50 years of the Phabolous. In general, Hasegawa's [...]
