Hello iModelers! Again another Me109……: This was a little testbed project I did in 2017. On the one hand, I once inherited some of these hemispherical wooden bases and on the other hand, I always wanted to show this Me109 in flight. I was happy [...]

Another nice Airfix kit completed. This is a very well engineered kit that essentially fell together. The only finicky issue was that the propeller/shaft assembly wouldn't seat fully in the engine until I filed out the opening some. This was [...]

I built this Hurricane from old Airfix 1/24 scale kit. Painting is most likely the natural finish it had at factory before delivery to RAF.
