This is one of my favourite ships, but I have hesitated to post it because, after all, I had built it a bit long time ago. To be honest, it was my first Flyhawk kit and my first attempt at rigging. Again, as before, I cheated with the [...]
It's been a while since I posted. This time it's HMS Belfast. This is a ship that reminds me of when I worked in London about 25 years ago. My office faced the Thames, and seeing her was my daily life. She was actually there wearing this [...]
Dear friends
While working on my next model, I share today pictures of an older build. This was completed more than 3 years ago, and was my first 1/700 ship, and also my first sea base. I decided to share images of this model to [...]

Dear friends, this is my last model. The HMS Prince of Wales in 1/700 scale. Model kit by Flyhawk that represents the ship in December of 1941. In the kit there are a lot of photoetch, metal barrels and resin parts. I think that in 1/700 [...]
