Jolly Rogers F9F-8 Cougar VF-61, 1956. Hasegawa 1/72.
This is Hasegawa's F9F-8 straight from the box. I used the kit decals of VF-61 Jolly Rogers, which held up pretty well, I think the kit is a 1990's boxing. I originally intended converting it to a twogar but then Sword came out with their [...]
Fine Molds 1/72 Kyushu Q1W1 "Lorna"
The Lorna was an anti-submarine aircraft used by the Japanese in WW2. Obviously a close copy of the Ju-88, the Lorna could be equipped with both radar and MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detection). This is a great kit that was a dream to build. [...]

Tamiya 1/72 Fw-190 A3 – Black 27 5th Fighter Regiment "Blackhead" Karabas Company

1/72 Swiss Bf-109G-6
The history of the Bf-109 is well documented and so I'm not going it into it today 🙂
About a week ago, in the midle of some long-time buildings, I felt like a fast build.
Browsing through my stash, I found an old, simple (maybe too [...]

Today I want to show you my SBD-4 Dauntless from Hasegawa in 1/72 scale. In order to give my model a beautiful environment, I modeled the island of an aircraft carrier out of cardboard. The island [...]

For years I’ve wanted to [...]
1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4
Picked this up at the local toyshop. One half of the Airfix Dogfight Doubles (the other being the Spitfire Mk I that I am currently working on). Pretty fun kit. Only a couple of small crises during the build - temporarily lost a tail-plane [...]
