My 2019 builds
Happy new year to all (with a little delay)
Here are my builds completed in 2019. I can say that I am more productive than the previous year. I hope this happens in 2020 too.
Happy modelling..
1- 1/32 Hasegawa Junkers Ju-87D5
2- 1/48 [...]
Another Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IX
I’m not going to go into a ton of detail on this build since there are hundreds of WIP builds on this bird out there, but to say it’s many mini-kits in one, is an understatement. After some research I chose Johnnie Johnson’s version [...]
1/48 Spitfire FR XIVe “Bubbletop”, 402 Squadron, RCAF, March, 1945
I've finished my Airfix 1/48 Spitfire FR XIVe, completed as a 402 Squadron (RCAF) machine, March, 1945. As I understand it, 402 was one of two Squadron's to operate the "bubbletop" before the end of the war in Europe. I found [...]
Academy’s “pregnant cat”, a last minute 2019 completion!
Hello, fellas!
This is Academy’s infamous “pregnant cat” I finished yesterday in true “almost OOB” fashion. The interior was dressed up with some Eduard PE bits, as well as Master barrels for the .50 machine guns. I first [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 Lend-Lease Supermarine Spitfire LF.IXe Soviet Airforce/PVO
Most probably the last new one by my dad for 2019.
Started with an ICM kit but switched to a Hasegawa kit with decals from AML, superfabric seatbelts from Eduard, painted with Gunze H306 FS36270 for the underside and Tamiya XF-82 RAF Ocean [...]
Airfix 1/48 Spitfire FR XIVe
My fourth iteration of this kit (with one more left in the stash while I try to decide which markings/version to do). Did I mention I love this kit?
History:
t's a strange but interesting fact that the only "built for that specific [...]
Quick comparison.
I dont have any models to build at the moment. I've finished all major projects. But I was looking through my model pics, and I cannot believe how much I've improved. Below I have two spitfires and two stukas, and they could not be more [...]
Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk1A – In Turkish Service
Tonight I have finished my second Spitfire but this time in Turkish Colours.
This one has been put together in secret as it will form part of the Christmas Eve Box for Innis, my nephew who normally helps with the builds.
The kit was an [...]
Roundup of recent builds
Well, I realised that I hadn't uploaded my last few builds so here is what I've been working on. First up we have the new Tamiya Spitfire in 1:48. A great kit despite the errors in it. This will be featured in a new series in Model [...]
1:48 Airfix Spitfire FR. Mk XIVe, Kuala Lumpur
This sortie worn Spitfire FR. Mk. XIVe is modeled after one assigned to the 28th RAF Squadron in Kuala Lumpur, British Malaya mid1946. I used Hannants Xtradecals, sheet X48127 for the markings.
Much has been written about this latest [...]
