Mig 21F-13 A Six Day War Survivor
Hi All,
This build is from quite some time ago and its one of my rare jaunts over to 1/48 its the Trumpeter kit and it is a really nice bit of plastic to say the least, detail is top notch, the cockpit in my opinion doesn't need anything [...]
Trumpeter 1/24 FW190D
Hi Guys here is my Trumpeter large Dora, not the greatest kit but been sitting in the stash more years than I can remember.
I did it in the scheme of Oblt Hanns Dortenmann I/JG26 with what I could use of the kit decals ( the fuselage [...]
Trumpeter An-2
This is Trumpeter's inexpensive An-2 offering in 1/72nd scale. A little better than the Italeri offering but not by much! Used the kit decals but after along time from completion, a Polish friend of mine pointed out to me that no Polish AF [...]

The Fleet Air Arm suffered throughout the early years of the war for the lack of a carrier-based fighter that had performance sufficient to face the land-based Axis air forces. This was nowhere more apparent than in the Mediterranean, [...]

Messerschmitt Me 262 B-1a/U1
This is the Trumpeter 1/32 version of the Me 262 nightfighter. Rather than the modelling-standard of mottled camo, I wanted to replicate the in-theatre, brush-applied version, often seen in late-war photos (similar example in archive photo [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 Vampire FB Mk. 5
As a memento of the IPMS/UK 50th Anniversary Tour, and being unable to model a massive bout of constipation, and unwilling to spend £40 for one of the Alleycat kits, I purchased the new Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk. 5, when I got home. Little [...]
Continuing the FAA theme: Trumpeter 1/48 Supermarine Attacker F.B.2
One of the oddest-looking jets of all, the Supermarine Attacker F.B.2. There's only one other "conventional gear" Jet, the Yak-15. The airplane has been done in 1/48 by a very good Falcon vacuform in around 1989, a Classic [...]
