C-119C Flying Boxcar, 63rd TCS Kimpo Korea, 1952. Roden 1/144. Forgotten War build.
Having had this kit for awhile now, I originally wanted to do some sort of Flight of the Phoenix build, ala Jimmy Stewart, but he flew or crashed a C-82. It worked out well that the kit decals were of the Korean war. i was apprehensive [...]
How a giant became a dwarf: C-124 Globemaster II from Roden
The challenge of depicting such a huge aircraft as the Globemaster II on such a small scale as 1:144 is particularly fascinating for me. But the question of whether one could credibly represent the really big in the really small was only [...]
The "Whispering Giant": timeless elegance, born too late. Bristol Britannia from Roden
If there should be a technical incarnation of the design elegance of the 50s, the Bristol Britannia would probably be a candidate for it. Her elegant lines are as inspiring today as they were then, and her nickname "Whispering [...]
Roden 1/144th Lockheed C-141B Starlifter
Another completed Roden kit. I had purchased a Caracal Decal set for C-141 Starlifters some time ago and they sat in the 'future projects maybe' pile.

Albatros D III 1:32 Roden in camo of Lothar Von Richthofen
This is a period that I am very interested in WWI airplane. This is a Roden kit, 1/32, of albatros D III whit the camouflage of Lothar von Richthofen, son of Manfred. It’s a good kit, but not at a level of Wingnutwings.

Gloster Gladiator Mk.I Hellenic Air Force 1938
It's an 1/48 Roden kit. It is a very good kit with the exelent fit, enough detail for anyone who wants to make a OOB. On the contrary, the decals had a big problem, since they were dissolved in water. Fortunately from the beginning I had [...]
C-124A GLOBEMASTER by RODEN MODELS – PART – 4
Masking and painting was a bit time consuming, but in the end it was worth applying and removing all that tape. None of the Tamiya paints was pulled off by the tape.
My first photo shows a printed color side view by Roden which shows the [...]
