Zvezda KV-1 1/72
The past weeks I have read a lot about Stalingrad, for instance in Jonathan Littels novel ‘The Kindly Ones’ and these days in Vasili Grossman’s ‘Stalingrad’. That inspired me to build this KV-1 in 1/72. My first experience with [...]
Greek interwar donation aircraft
An interesting sidelight of the interwar Royal Hellenic Air Force (RHAF) was the existence of donation aircraft presented by expat Greeks living in Cairo. There were two such donations and both were modern biplane fighters - the Avia B.534 [...]
1/72 Fairey Battle Mk. 1 - Airfix
The Fairey Battle was the RAF's first monoplane light bomber built in the late 1930s. It was powered by the same Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that other British fighters - and later the U.S. P-51 Mustang - used to great success, but the [...]

This is probably the first time I have taken on a model of a Luftwaffe aircraft. I tend to avoid the subject for personal reasons, although the Junkers Ju-52, the good old Aunt Ju, is a plane that I have always loved and once, a [...]
Takom 1/72 HMS Hood B Turret
Done on a whim. And done in a colour and fit configuration that would probably not have happened. I wanted to show an earlier faded tri colour scheme with the late fit barage weapons mounted on top of the turret. The kit is quite a simple [...]
Dragon 10.5cm Sturmhaubitze Ausf.G 1/72
After my first positive experience with Armour in 1/72 scale, I decided to focus more on these smaller models. Besides being able to practice weathering, it also brings some welcome distraction every now and then, during larger projects, [...]
Meng F-102A Delta Dagger
Convair submitted their design for what would become the F-102 in response to the U.S. Air Force 1954 Ultimate Interceptor program. Lessons learned from their development of the XF-92 Dart in the late 40’s resulted in an attractive [...]
V-bombers - 1:72 Airfix Valiant and Vulcan
Hi all. Been lurking for quite a while, enjoying all the builds and stories. Been intimidated by the quality, but have decided to post some of my builds. I categorize my builds by series - series one thru three. Series one, which I [...]
iModeler at the movies, stand in for the Mig 15, the F-84F, Airfix 1/72
Harken back to the old group build, iModeller at the movies, this one was seen in The Hunters. Several F-84s were done up as Mig 15s against Robert Mitchum and F-86's. This is still a nice kit, a bit old maybe they could revamp the molds.
