Dogfight Double – 1/144 Spitfire v Me109
A real gem of a kit from Beacon Models, and at around £21 for the two aircraft included it's an absolute bargain. There's a surprising level of interior detail for such a small kit, and although almost impossible to see once the fuselage [...]
1/350 Revell DKM Bismarck + Pontos Photoetch Set
Hi everyone, here is my latest ship 1:350 scale DKM Bismarck as she would have looked early March 1941 minus the air recognition symbols. Base kit is Revell and Pontos Photoetch set is added. The kit is old and the Pontos set is one of [...]
German Uboat type IIB in scale 1/144 from ICM
Here is my first work after many years break of model building. A first attempt at doing something I haven't done before. This construction has taken a year, during which I have been working on and off with the construction. You can see my [...]
WWII German boots
Allrighty, so in my recent absence I've been spending a lot of time relearning a software tool called ZBrush. I also decided I needed to purchase a tablet screen in order to sculpt a few different projects. Both of them have been a [...]
1/144 SBD Dauntless (Brengun Models)
I seem to have moved away from the larger scales. God knows what I will do with about 45 Wingnut Wings 1/32 kits, but here we are. As my eyesight deteriorates my modelling subjects are shrinking!
I thought I'd try a 1/144 subject, so got [...]
It's finally finished!
It's finally finished!
Nothing in particular to add except that I followed the details of what I found online especially in reference to the nice article by Dave Hansen ( @davidhansen ) ((link) and (link)). The effect is completely [...]
Review: Magic Factory F4U-1 & F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. 'A New Line of Plastic Corsairs on the Horizon'
I recently got round to finishing these pair of Corsairs from Magic Factory's new tooled set, this set is a dual-combo build of an F4U-1A and an F4U-2 Nightfighter but with minimal effort the -2 can be reverted to a -1 which is what I've [...]
Mr Goodwrench Goes to War – Eduard 1/48 FM-1 Wildcat
My latest attempt at model building is this 1/48 scale Eduard FM-1 Wildcat. Of the six or so different paint schemes, I chose this one representing VC-1 stationed on the USS Block Island (CVE-21) in 1943.
On May 29, 1944, Block Island was [...]
Douglas C-47 Dakota Airfix 1/72
This is one of my first builds after restarting this hobby. I hadn’t discovered wheatering-techniques during this build, so will have a look on that the next few months. The paratroopers (Italeri) make it a bit more lively.
Living close [...]
ICM 1/72 Ki-21-1a Sally, Thai Bomber
This was an IPMS review build, so I'll post the link here when the review is released.
link here soon...
ICM is putting out great kits! The Sally is one of my favorite Japanese bombers, and I still have two Revell kits and an MPM in the [...]
