Boeing 727-100 | Transbrasil | PT-TYJ | Revell | 1/144
Kit Revell, 1/144 scale. TransBrasil was a Brazilian airline, famous for it's 727 fleet (the largest in South America) and it's livery, almost like Braniff, with colorful planes. I have more planes in this livery, will post here.
AH-64 Apache

It's an A-20B, AAF serial 41-3441 of the 47th BG, 97th BS at Vesuvius Airbase in Italy. I found it while randomly surfing at work one afternoon (yes, I was bored) and photo was so cool I [...]

Braille Scale Challenger II
OOB build of British Challenger II. 1/72nd scale. Nato scheme is free-hand airbrush with mild weathering. Antenna are paint brush bristles.

Revell 1/25 #4 JPS Mustang

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.
Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]
