Trumpeter 1/48 Whirlwind
A sketchy design from Trumpeter yet, without fatal mistakes. Decals are glossy and brightly colored and need to mute down or be replaced. Nonetheless, the model can be turned around to decently represent a unique aircraft that had a brief [...]
Dutch East Indies...1/48 Fairey Firefly FR.I, Koninklijke Marine Luchtvaartdienst
Dad finished the next one. The first of an upcoming Firefly trio.
Trumpeter kit wih decals from the Special Hobby Firefly Foreign Post War Users kit. Used seats with molded on seatbelts from Quickboost, which seem slightly undersized. The [...]

P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback
1/32 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback by Trumpeter. I think the Razorback version is much nicer than the later Bubbletop. The kit is of excellent quality. In terms of price, it belongs to the cheap kits, but I was very surprised by the quality [...]
Stressed Surface by Painting on ZERO 1/24
