Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I 1:72
Hi Guys
I want to share my supermarime Spitfire Mk.I from tamiya kit.
I cooperated it with aires detail set (open engine, gun bays, cockpit) and photoetched parts by eduard (flaps). I also made a lot of details myself (rivets,etc.) I [...]
Wingnut Wings Fokker Eindecker E-III Late
Another outstanding Wingnut Wings model kit. This one was built out of the box as nothing else but rigging is necessary on these kits. Rotary engines in WWI used castor oil as a lubricant introduced into the gas/air stream. It was not [...]

1/48th Tamiya Mosquito, Sea Mosquito Conversion

1/48 Battle of France Spitfire I
This is an almost self-building Tamiya kit. Painted and finished with Humbrol enamels and Superscale decals. The only thing I really added to this one was a set of Eduard belts.
Roden 1/48th Gladiator Mk.II in Finnish Service

Eduard 1/48th Nieuport 17 in RFC Service
This is Eduard's crisp little Nieuport 17 with a some extra detailing. The kit cockpit is fairly simple, with a flat floor with a step for the seat and molded in heel boards. It looks fine once it's all closed up. However, in an attempt [...]
