My "what if" projects.
Some kits for me just lend themselves to a "what if" project. The two anigrand resin kits, XR-11, XR-12 for example (although I am ready to swear off resin kits, very painful to build).
Sometimes an incomplete project for [...]
1/72 M1B1 Abrams MBT
So there was a proposal to up gun the Abrams in the late 70s, add an auto loader, and change the drive train to a diesel. There are a number of images and drawings floating around the web and I decided to build one. So behold, my take on [...]
What-if… RAAF Dassault Rafale
This is the second in a series of ‘what if’ aircraft that I’m building.
In 1999 the Australian Department of Defence announced Project AIR 6000 "New Air Combat Capability (NACC)", which was intended to find a replacement [...]
OV-10D Bronco in "VF-84 tribute" paint scheme
It took me about 8 months to finish this Bronco in my favorite navy camouflage.
If you wonder why I made up this scheme - this is my last build for my friend and he did not want to get Bronco in desert or boring gray camouflage scheme.
I [...]
What-If Build: Grumman F5F-2 – 1/48 Minicraft
Fresh off the workbench is Minicraft's gem-of-a-kit, that is, their Long-Nose XF5F... schemed-out in a what-if 1943 Tri-tone Blue. This is my third Navy whiffer and I can say I'm happy with the slightly esoteric and (for me anyway) [...]
"Kaisertiger" E-100 1/72 by Skorp
The E-100 from Modelcollect with the Krupp-Turret in 1/72 is part of my rather big Battle of the bulge Diorama.
This is my 1st article, I wanted to test for myself how my models are received here on this website and I'm looking forward to [...]
UH100 Black Hawk – Upgrade Design
First of all, I must say that the Italeri, UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the [...]
What if? F-20 Tigershark Aggressor Aircraft, 1/48th scale, Freedom model kits.
F-20 Tigershark Aggressor Aircraft, 1/48th scale, Freedom model kits.
The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was a transformation of the classic F-5 series into a low-cost export fighter for U. S. allies during the cold war. At this time the F-5 was [...]
What-If Build: North American FJ-1 (P-51) – Revell 1/48
Or would it have been an FJ-0, and by what name... "Seahorse"? "Fury"? 🙂
This one was purely for fun, just wanted to share. I did this one up some time ago.. not really good by any means, nor was it ever meant to be. [...]
What-If Build: Ryan F2R-1 Dark Shark – Czech Model 1/48
Good day all... I'd like to share one hot off the bench, as I'm happy to be done with this unique a/c.
This build is OBB of a multimedia kit by Czech Model. There are reviews for it online, and generally speaking, they represent my [...]
