Last Hope...1/48 Heinkel He162A-2 Salamander/Spatz, 1./JG1
Built in 2016.
One of the weapon systems towards the end of the war that was intended to bring the change.
Has some connection to our home region.
About 30km away from our hometown there was a He162 underground facility in Hinterbrühl. [...]
1/32 Phantom
I ordered resin gunbays for my Thunderbolt project and decided to build a phantom. The Revell 1/32 phantom I started last year had a lot of fitting problems so I put it aside. This time I tried building the Tamiya one and loved everything [...]
Spitfire Mk V – Operation Starkey
This project was a long time coming as work and family commitments must trump modelling time. Nevertheless, here is my 1/48 Mk V spit from Tamiya, finished at last!
Operation Starkey was a ruse, and part of a larger deception plan carried [...]
1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Model 32 Hamp
I think this is my fourth build for The Empire of Japan Group. Nice kit for being so old but it does lack the detail of the newer kits. I decided to do the field applied paint scheme to change it up a bit and it was a lot of fun. Painted [...]
Honved...1/48 Krupp Protze with 3,7cm Pak, Hungarian Army
Next one finished. One of my dad´s excursions to the 1/48 armour world.
To avoid the usual single grey look, I searched for something different. Came across the 1/35 Bronco kit wich included a 3-tone prewar and a 3-tone Hungarian scheme. [...]
Road and Track
I built the track version from the Revell kit right out of the box. Sometime later I tackled the Tamiya kit, also out of the box. Both projects were painted with Tamiya rattle cans, with the road car done in metallic Orange. The Revell [...]
Austrian Aces…1/48 Messerschmitt Me262A-1a, III./JG7, Major Rudolf Sinner
Another last foto session of one of my dad´s older models. This Tamiya kit was built about ten years ago, mostly oob, only added seatbelts, brake lines and antenna wires.
Rudolf Sinner was born in 1915 in Austria. In the thirties he [...]
Tamiya 1/48 SU-122 Assault Gun
History:
The SU-122 was an assault gun based on the chassis of the T-34 tank. Its development began with an April 1942 specification for mobile assault guns using weapons of 122 mm or higher. The SU-122 was designed at the Uralsky Machine [...]
Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair, 1/48.
The first of many Tamiya Corsairs I did was this one, built alongside an F4U-1D. I started this back in April last year and completed in just 3 weeks, which is a record for me but that is largely due to having plenty of time off due to [...]
A6M2b Oita advanced Flying School
I had a desire to make an airplane in the painting of the school unit. And this is how this Zero-Sen model from the Oita flight school was created. I did an attractive painting of the lower surfaces with H24 paint. Cockpit details such as [...]
