Summing up 2012!
Not a very good year modelling-wise with only three kits finished. The fact that two of them are very small doesn't make it more impressive either!
So here we go, two MiG-21s from Eduard in 1/144 scale. One Slovak one in the [...]
1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IIa
Here is my 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IIa finished with the markings of “421 Flight” from RAF Hawkinge. RAF Hawkinge is a former Royal Air Force station located in Kent, near to the south coast and the closest airfield to the French [...]
Tony Fokker’s Greatest Hits
Three Eduard 1/48 kits, done pretty close to 'out of the box', fussy but excellent kits. One note, the Triplane is greener than the photos, some error by me in lighting or camera setting,the streaking was done with oil paints over [...]
1/48 Revell (Pro-Modeler) SB2C-3 Helldiver
Another "book project creates a model project" from TCWorld. I am currently writing what is becoming a book that looks like it will be "definitive" - "Fabled Fifteen: Air Group 15 in the Pacific War." Just [...]
1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat
Built straight out of the box after being rescued at a yard sale. The model had been painted with a dark blue rattle can and most of the detail had been badly obscured. Luckily the paint stripped off easily with oven cleaner. I only [...]
1/48 Promodeler Ju 87R-2
Nicely detailed kit with some basic photoetch from Eduard. The hardest part was masking the canopy framing! The decals are from Aeromaster just for something different than those that were supplied in the box. This was one of my first [...]
Roden 1/48 SE5a, (Mick Mannock)
This is another old build. It's the Roden SE, the Part PE set was not available when I started the kit, so I scratched some detail, and used the limited old set for the Aurora/Monogram kit. The one up to date PE section was the Eduard [...]
1/48 Dragon Ta 154
The decals on this kit "exploded" as soon as they hit the water, those that didn't promptly fell apart on contact with the model. With very few after market options available I scrounge around the spares box for replacements but [...]
1/48 Revell BF-109 G10
This very old kit with not very many parts and despite showing it's age it still builds beautifully. I added a True Details resin cockpit, wheels, and canopy. I scratch built some additional details into the canopy area and cockpit, and [...]
Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.Va
The latest model from the dioramas - Albatros Ernst Udet. For some reason I finished the cockpit, but the pilot is shut everything)). A little more extended the landing gear - Edward gives them too short, and it shows. Color aircraft given [...]
