Arado Ar 196 A3
This is the my completed build of the Italeri 1/48 kit, which was intended to be completed OOB as a little light relief from my ongoing struggle with the MPM He 177. It's a strange kit, quite crude and toy like in places with clumsily [...]
Unusual markings for an all too usual build – Eduard 190 A-4
Back in late 2018 I posted a new decal maker in the market: (link)
I like these decals so much that I already purchased 4 sheets and as a consequence several of my 190 articles here use them.
This one is from that first sheet…5 years [...]
F6F-3 Hellcat (Eduard 1/48)
This is recently re-issued 8227 ProfiPack with a well-known Hellcat in this scale. I wanted to try new Eduard aftermarket offerings, so I've added 3D printed wheel bays and bronze legs. It's nice additions to the quite old kit, especially [...]

ZVEZDA 1/48 Mi-8T Aeroflot Arctic Transportation
One of my favorite helicopters and I've been waiting for a long time for a decent and affordable kit in 1/48 scale. As soon as Zvezda issued this kit I had to order one.
My father used to fly Mi-8 for a while (Croatian Air Force Transport [...]
Tamiya Wildcat
This is the third of three kits I picked up from the vendor tables at last year’s local IPMS contest, the Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4. (And now I’ve finished all three. Yay me!)
As usual with Tamiya, the kit goes together without a problem. The [...]
Hasegawa 1:48 Kawasaki Ki.45Kai Hei/Tei Toryu (Nick) "Mainland Defence" Kit #09909
A night-fighter from the 5th Fighter Regiment, Maj. Yoshiaki Yamashita, Kiyosu Air Base, June 1945. What can I say, it's Hasegawa. Minor filler needed but that was possibly due to over zealous sanding. Two issues with the build. The first [...]
