Aussie Eight
When I saw the Eduard Spitfire Mk. IX my friend Dennis Meyers was in the process of making some months ago (which you can find here on iModeler), I knew I had to pull my Mk. VIII off the shelf and get started. Here is the result: the [...]
Eduard Mk.9e Spitfire 1/48 Royal Egyptian Airforce
This is the Eduard kit and to be honest I found it a bit of a pain in the arse to build, the wing to fuselage fit was dreadful requiring the removal of about 1mm of plastic on each side ,the kit generally was what I would call pointlessly [...]
1/48 Eduard Hellcat Mk I
I built this kit earlier this year. Eduard's kit is the best Hellcat out there. My kit was actually the F6F-3 Weekend Edition, but I traded for the decals and added an Ultracast seat. Mixed the paint using Tamiya colors.
The aircraft [...]
Grumman F6F-5 Target Tow "One Hell of a ride Cat"
Here is my next cat, this time I've chosen a Hellcat in a rather unusual livery. During WWII several Hellcats, mostly refurbished models were used in the most exciting role as a traget tow aircraft. To give their pilots a chance for not [...]
Grumman XF6F-1 Hellcat, the "Copycat" 1:72

This is a great kit with great molding and lots of fine [...]

I will have to admit up front that I am not a German aircraft expert, but I did manage to talk myself into building one of my favorite aircraft. I was really interested in this Eduard offering and was curious to see how it compared to the [...]
Eduard 1/48 Bf-109G-6 (Late) kit
By 1943, it was clear to the Luftwaffe that the lightly armed Bf 109G 2 and G 4 fighter (1 20mm cannon, 2 7.62mm machine guns) was underarmed. In the West, the Jagdgeschwaders were equipped with two Fw 190 Gruppen for anti bomber [...]
Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant MK.I, 264 SQN RAF, 1940
May I present my rendition of Airfix's recent release of the 1/48 scale BP Defiant. Finished in one of the kit schemes of an aircraft from 264 SQN, RAF in Suffolk, 1940. The level of detail OOB is excellent and provides a great start if [...]
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire IXe
This is actually the "high-back" version of the Spitfire XVI Dual Combo kit, but the difference between a Spitfire IXe and a "high back" XVI is internal, and they can only be distinguished externally by reference to [...]
