Roden 1/32 Nieuport 24

The Roden Nieuport 24 kit done as the airplane flown by Charles Nungesser. This airplane is hard to track down because the superstitious Nungesser kept the rudder (with serial "1895") from his Nie. 17 and put it on all his [...]

Falcon 1/48 Spitfire F.R.XVIII – vacuform

This was done about 2004. The Falcon 1/48 F.R. XVIII vacuform. Still the most accurate Spitfire XIV/XVIII in 1/48. I used a resin cockpit (something I had, nobody can really tell the detail differences between Spitfire cockpits in 1/48 [...]

Video: Academy 1/48 Lavochkin La-7

Quite a simple kit. I polished the surface with a 12000-grade cloth to give a natural sheen as opposed to a 'sprayed on' one. The decals were a bit thick, but succumbed eventually.
