FW-190A6 Jg1, Special Hobby 1/48.
Hallo Everybody,
Today I will share my last fatigue, a great classic. Starting kit is the special hobby. I made slight improvement to the basic kit, adding resin flap, detailing inside of open engine cowling, adding breake pipe on the [...]
Yet Another Special Hobby 1/32 Whirlwind
Here’s my attempt at building Special Hobby’s 1:32 scale Westland Whirlwind.
The Whirlwind is a handsome ship (in my opinion) that doesn’t look much like anything else that took to the air in WWII. It has that characteristically [...]
The bite of the cobra: AH-1G "Wretched Mildred", Vietnam 1971
Some aircraft look so impressive that, once seen, they remain in the memory. If this memorable appearance is combined with a dramatic mission history, it can happen that this aircraft becomes an "icon": the mere sight of it [...]

Hello mates!

gen. Joseph John Kruzel's P-40E
This time the article will not be long or colorful with fictionalized stories. As for the history of the fights, I do not intend to compete with the knowledge of Tom Cleaver (I hope @tcinla write some more informations) 🙂 I just wanted [...]
Special Hobby 1/72 SB2A-4 Buccaneer
