Hi guys,
Another model in my collection, this is the Dornier Do17 Z-10 from "Revell" plastic made by ICM models; nice kit, no major problems during the assembly, beautiful clear parts; in the end I decided just the paint, no [...]
The Me-410 Hornisse was a follow on to the ill-fated Me-210 heavy fighter, which almost destroyed Messerschmitt's reputation due to its horrendous handling qualities. The design was intended as a Heavy Fighter, light bomber and [...]
This is my Eduard 1/48 He 280 prototype jet fighter.
The Heinkel He 280 was the first aircraft designed solely as a fighter to make a jet powered flight. It also has the dubious distinction of being responsible for the first pilot ejection [...]
I have been away from scale modeling since 1990's - I can't remember the last kit I actually built. Getting close to retirement, I figured I better make sure I still have the patience to get back into it.

This model rounds off my late-war Luftwaffe 1/48 scale collection.
As ever with modern [...]

Hi everyone!
