A book: Fighters of World War II
This is a book I find myself coming back to every now and then. If you are into american hardware (plus the odd Spitfire) this is a must have. Written by Jeffrey L Ethell and Robert T Sand it is jam packed with mostly Sand's colour photos [...]
1/72 Italeri Henschel Hs-129B-2 (No.1294)
Built straight from the box, with kit decals. Although quite an od kit, and may lack some detail by today's standards, it is still a very nice and easy build.
Tamiya 1/32 Scale P-51D with aluminum skin Part 1
Hello fellow modelers! Well i'm at it again with the aluminum skin builds. As you can see I am well under way on this P-51D from Tamiya. Great kit so far, few little fit issues but nothing crazy. Scratch built the seat cushion some wiring [...]
1/72 Revell (Academy) PBY-5A Catalina
This is Revell boxing of the now quite old Academy Catalina, the amphibian PBY-5A version. Built mostly straight out of the box, with the Revell decals which although a bit thick performed quite well. The roundels on the nose/cockpit sides [...]
Airfix 1/48 Ju 87B Stuka
Hello!
This is my recent project, a classic WW2 warbird. Nice kit, everything went well. Unfortunately, the clear part, which would allow to build a full open canopy, came damaged beyond repair. It had a L shape hole right on the top. So, [...]
1/700 Fuyuzuki (Akizuki Type)
Aoshima 1/700 Yoizuki kit with the Five Star Fuyuzuki upgrade kit:
The upgrade kit is essential for this build as the original kit is pretty basic. I also added aftermarket rope reels and built the wood base and acrylic case myself. For [...]
Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR. XIX
Hello iModeler! This is my recently finished Airfix Spitfire PR. XIX. Although the interferon detail was not as crisp as the newly tooled Airfix Mk. V Spitfire, it was still a fun kit and went together rather nicely. Build was OOB, [...]
Auntie’s trip to the Aegean
My second offering in as many days... this is the venerable Revell 1/48 scale Ju 52 kit, with accessory resin floats/white metal struts, resin engine nacelle cover, and fuel tank, accessories and some scratch-building thrown in for good [...]
Tiger I
I got this Tiger a while ago as a gift. Since most of my other armored vehicles are painted in one color such as grey or green, I wanted to try something new. Originally I had a camouflage template for the tank but I ended up coming up [...]
P-38G Lightning: Tamiya's latest!
A long awaited kit & very much overdue as well. This one has taken me a long time to finish as I was hoping to find some aftermarket decals to make it a bit different from the OOB selection. Hannants have some expected but not yet, so [...]
