Cursed F-15C Build
This build was cursed. That is all.
Problems were mostly caused by my own clumsiness, not the GWH kit, which in terms of fit and surface detail is fantastic.
Dropped the model, breaking a stabiliser and meaning I had to redo the first [...]
1/48th F-15C Eagle MSIP-II
Here are a few images of my latest project, the Great Wall F-15C in 173rd Fighter Wing livery. This project is actually a kit-bash using Great Wall plastic and Monogram decals. The Monogram F-15 utilized the original F-15 tooling, and I [...]
Fw 189A2 Finished At Last
I posted a week ago that I was close to finishing, The words of encouragement were much appreciated. I got the fiddly bits put on, I used the photoetch gunsights supplied with the kit. They were easier than I thought, but I really do [...]
Almost Done!
I can't believe that I posted pictures in August of last year telling how I was hoping to finish my first model in five years. Well I am so excited to be getting close to finishing, and I thought I would post last in progress pics. I [...]
GWH 1/48 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator in Barclay Scheme No.8
Hope everybody got savely into 2020!
Here´s another more rare scheme, built in 2015.
Besides the USAAF also the USN tested experimental camos on their aircraft. The US artist McClelland Barclay designed 8 schemes which were applied to two [...]
GWH 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw189A-2 Uhu, Royal Bulgarian Airforce
Built in 2013, the nice GWH kit with Authentic decals, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.

After P-47, F-84, F-86 and F-4, this is my father´s newest addition to our IIAF collection.
He used the GWH kit, which is mostly very nice, together with the freshly released decal sheet from Hi-Decal.
Painted with Gunze Orange with a [...]
Five Years and nothing Finished!!
I was just looking and realized that it has been more than 5 years since I have finished a model. It seems after I finished the last one, life took my family and I down a path that has been challenging and kept me away from the hobby. I [...]
GWH's new 1/48 Su-35 'Flanker-E' – The Russian Beasty
This is my (somewhat late due to box and kit complexity intimidation) attempt at GWH's new and monstrous Sukhoi Su-35S 'Flanker-E' in 1/48th Scale. With the characteristic metal heat staining, subtle three tone camo scheme and huge [...]
Great Wall Hobby FW189 Eagle Owl
Another great kit. Flawless fit, beautifully detailed. I think I overdid the paintwork - I should have scaled down the colours, as I was planning to. I'll probably add a few more details with weathering powders, once the top coat of matt [...]
