Hawker Hurricane Snow Base . .
Hello Everyone Adi here . . .
I wanted to make a Snowy Base for the Finnish AF Hawker Hurricane which I just completed.
To make the base I use Plywood and cover this with acrylic putty. I use baking powder to sprinkle the base for the [...]
Mauve 1/48 P-40N
My first completion of 2021 is the old Mauve P-40N kit that as has been collecting dust on my stash shelf. This model represents Kansas City Kitty III piloted by Capt Robert H. White, of the 8th Fighter Squadron, 49th Fighter Group, [...]
Revell 1/72 Tornado GR.1 – Converted to GR.4 617 Squadron RAF Lossiemouth

Here's my take on Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning model. The kit gives you the choice of building either Miss Virginia (P-38 G) or White 33 (P-38F). Despite the historical significance of Miss Virginia and the mission to shoot-down [...]
Erosion Never Sleeps – Bristol Beaufighter Nightfighter
After looking at my Beaufighter for five months, I decided that it needed a little roughing-up. So I broke-out the thinner, some swabs, and a bottle of Model Master chrome silver paint and went to town. Along the way, I managed to break [...]
First 2021 build- Tamiya (Italeri) 1/48 Kfz.305 4x2 Cargo Truck
Question to self- Self, what stash denizen can be built (vanquished?) in the least amount of time?... Here's the victim. Not a kit to greatly inspire, as the Italeri roots = meh. Half down drivers window sprue gate shattered despite my [...]
