Airfix 1/48 Avro Anson Mk.I
This really is a kit of opposites.
The cockpit internals and the overall fit is beautiful but the fit of the nacelles leaves a little to be desired.
Nothing a spot of filler and plasticard can't fix but it was a surprise after the ease of [...]
Malta blues: Suggestions to ease the assembly process of Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Vs.
Eduard's 1/48th Spitfire variants are considered the best in the scale thanks to the high detailing standard of parts and the delicate surface texture. However, the building process is complex because many of the parts are fiddly and the [...]
Monogram-New Ware Apollo Lunar Module
The NASA Apollo Program led to the successful landing of a human being on the surface of the Moon. Early missions in the series developed tactics and techniques and rehearsed the operational segments that would culminate in 1969 with the [...]
The Somewhat Unappreciated Hasegawa F6F Hellcat
I've been away from iModeler for quite a while, but I haven't been sitting idle.
I've been tinkering with several "Shelf of Doom" projects in various stages of construction, and i decided to rebuild and repair a favourite of mine [...]
P-40 in the Battle of Milne Bay
This the third 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. The seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]
Kinetic 1/48 Su 33 Flanker D
A big and complex kit. It has detailed panel line engravings and good fit of parts. There is one small snag to take this kit off the list of Kinetic's finest. Instructions are the most suggestive and misleading I ever came across. It is [...]

Took a second attempt to finish it, the first model didn´t make it to finish because my dad didn´t get along with Eduard´s complex and fragile landing gear.
Built oob, painted with AK RC [...]
Grumman F6F Hellcat, Fujimi
Greetings, friends and modelers. Back posting again after life got busy.
I'm easing my way back to modeling by repairing and upgrading an old Fujimi F6F I had originally done in the 1990s. Decals had flaked and my repairs were [...]
V-1 or Fieseler Fi103 (Tamiya 1/48)
A well known kit of the V-1 from Tamiya in 1/48. It's not a new kit in any sense of the word, but it's still pretty decent. I bought it for a quick, relaxing build, but it was waiting for me for a couple of months. Mostly it was waiting [...]
Too late...1/48 Mitsubishi A7M2 Type 11 Reppu "Sam", IJN

Fine Molds kit oob, only added Eduard PE seatbelts, EZ Line for the antenna wire and plastic rods for the upper wing landing gear indicators.
Painted with AK Real Color IJN D1 Deep Green and AK [...]
