The 1/48 Republic F-84G Thunderjet in French service from Tamiya
Hello everyone,
For the rest of the series 2004-2005 constructions, I present you a F-84G who served in the French Air Force (2/33 savoie). This version is modified for reconnaissance missions.
Thank you all, Sincerely, Eric.
Trumpeter 1/48 Vampire FB Mk. 5
As a memento of the IPMS/UK 50th Anniversary Tour, and being unable to model a massive bout of constipation, and unwilling to spend £40 for one of the Alleycat kits, I purchased the new Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk. 5, when I got home. Little [...]
Special Hobby 1/48 Supermarine Seafire LF Mk. III
One that almost became the second occupant of the shelf of doom. Why, you ask?
I was about half way through when Tom Cleaver published his authoritative "Frankenspit", and I knew all was lost. Eventually built OOB, it came [...]
The French Air force Mirage 2000 C 1/48 from Heller
Hello everyone,
I present to you a new series of models that I made in 2004-2005. To begin with, I propose a Mirage 2000 C 1/48 Heller. It is accompanied by a characteristic small tractor equipment met in the parking airbases.
I have [...]
Otaki 1/48 (Ki-61) “Hieney Racer”
I always thought the Ki-61 was one of Japan's sleekest looking WWII fighters. German desigined and Daimler-Benz powered, it was built by Kawasaki, and named the "Hien".
The cost of an Otaki kit was reasonable enough that I [...]
DeHaviland Sea Vixen FAW2
Another 1/48 Airfix 'Fighter All Weather' representative, on the back of Tom's recent Jav post.
No photos of the cockpit areas. Although detailed, they are truely 'coal holes' and not supportive of pretty pictures.
iModeler Review: 1/48 Airfix Gloster Javelin FAW 9
Gloster Aircraft, having developed and produced the only Allied jet aircraft to be operational during the war, the Gloster Meteor, sought to take advantage of its expertise, and responded to a 1947 Air Ministry requirement for a [...]
1/48th Monogram B-25J as USMC PBJ-1J
Here's one that I completed about a year ago and wanted to share with the group. The kit was the fine ole Monogram 1/48th B-25J. When originally issued, it was pretty much a 'state of the art' model. By today's standards, it's still a [...]
Tamiya 1:48 KV-1
This is my latest work, 1:48 KV-1 from Tamiya.
Great little kit, built OOB.
I played around with some weathering to achieve that "busy look".
Hope you like it.
VT-83 Grumman TBM-3 Avenger
1/48 Accurate Miniatures TBM-3 Avenger
As usual the construction begins with the cockpit. The level of detail in this kit is outstanding and I tried to do it justice. The sheer complexity of the kit meant I spent far longer on this [...]
