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.
The model shows an a/c that flew with the Bulgarian 331 Air Squadron in July 1944.
GWH 1/48 Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star Target Tug, Imperial Iranian Airforce

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 [...]
Avro Vulcan B2 1/144 (GWH+Shelf Oddity)
This is my rendition of the early Vulcan B2 XH556 depicted as in No.230 OCU Finningley, ca 1962. The Pit-Road/GWH kit and excellent Fundekals decal set inspired me to tackle the Vulcan subject. To portray the early B2 airframe the kit had [...]

HP Victor B.2 1/144 (GWH+Shelf Oddity)
GWH kit with Shelf Oddity details and refueling probe & pitots from Master.
This is XL164 B.2, Blue Steel aircraft. Modelled without Blue Steel. With no evidence to the contrary I assumed that when no missile was carried, the bomb bay [...]
