Morane Saulnier MS 406 – Heller 1/72
A few more MS 406's, completed 14y ago and based on vintage Heller kits. A three-planes flight was standard in the French Armée de l'Air of 1940 and called a "Patrouille simple".
The amount of work and corrections needed to make [...]
Morane Saulnier MS 226
Another Heller oldie, the Morane 226. A conversion made 16 years ago already, from a MS 225 kit. A lot of job to correct some of the kit big issues, besides the conversion. The main points to be addressed are:
Fuselage width to be [...]
Bloch 152 - Heller 1/72
One of the first Heller kits in the "Musée" range, issued in 1965. Quite crude and requiring a lot of corrective work to achieve a decent result. This one was done some 14y ago, before the much better kits from RS and Dora Wings [...]
Dora Wings 1/72 Fairey Delta FD.2
Hi there ,
This was a build going on in the background and I thought I'd just stick it up to give my thoughts on it.
My previous experience with Dora Wings was their 1/72 Lysander which was challenging to say the least.
The fit was not [...]
Curtiss Hawk P-36 – Revell 1/72
Here is my vintage Revell Curtiss Hawk, upgraded and corrected. The kit is still excellent if a few easy corrections are made:
Fuselage top width (aft of the cockpit) to be increased abt 2mm with plastic strips, 1mm between the cowling [...]

The South African Airforce operated a number of Dassault Mirage variants. This included 7 variations of the Mirage III, which totalled 58 aircraft. A further 48 Mirage F1's were acquired from 1975, of which 16 were Mirage F1 CZ's, an air [...]
The Deterrent
Thanks are once again due to Özkan Türker whose wonderful help enabled me to complete this model.
There was a common threat facing the countries bordering the Aegean - that of fascist Italy. Mussolini had made his aims of restoring a [...]
Definitely not airworthy – and yet built as a model: a ZiL 131 double!
To be honest: lorries, whether used for civilian or military purposes, are not my area of interest and hold little fascination for me. This immediately leads to the next confession: I don't know much about the subject either! So of course [...]
KP 1/72 MiG-17PF
I finally got to complete my first build for 2024, this is KP's old MiG-17PF, kit no.7 released in 1974. This was a semi rough build, fit was not the best, some light flash that needed cleaning. Wings to the fuselage and canopy fit had [...]
