Dewoitine D.520 (HobbyBoss 1/72)
I have nothing special to say about this model. Started in 2015, finished in 2016 – building it was a joy. This is completely OOB, just for fun as modeling should be.
Painted with Vallejo and Gunze acrylics, weathered with oils and [...]
1:72 Airfix Mig 15
One of my first forays into 1:72, Airfix's Mig 15 finished as an example from Cuba
1:72 Zero's (Pearl Harbour)
Three Zero's representing Zero's from three of the six Japanese carriers at the Pearl Harbour attack (please don't ask me which carriers).
Made up from two Hasegawa and one Airfix but mainly using the Hasegawa decals, all painted with [...]
Eduard 1:72 Fw190A-8 , building the "imperfect Beast"

Painted an weather [...]

Problems, [...]
1:72 Airfix Bae Hawk T.1
Another of my builds from 2014 and another Airfix. Yet another gem of a kit, finished with the kit decals and painted with Tamiya X-18 then vanished with Klear/Future
Yak-23UTI (SpecialHobby 1/72)
A very rare one from my favorite First Jets Era. Yak-23UTI was a 2-seat trainer version of the Yak-23 "Flora" fighter. Only one aircraft of this version was produced, but surprisingly it survived and now kept in museum.
This is [...]
