cockpit bf 109 e

Decided to try to finish another model I started a year ago. I had gotten discouraged by lack of reference photos and information to accurately build the cockpit layout of the Ki-43-ii otsu that this kit represents. There is only one known photo of the Ki-43-ii cockpit and the layout differed...

This will be my next project. I plan to build this as "2nd Patches" a B-17G-DL-30 426th BS, 99th BG, 15th AF, USAAF. Shown is the kit I will be building along with references I have at hand. I have decals on the way as well. Though there are at least 3 pictures of this aircraft that I know of...

Well time to build another model of my favorite plane the awesome Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. I have always been fascinated with Kelly Johnson's aircraft and the F-104 being one of them. This is the really great 1/32 Italeri kit. My only issue is the ugly wheels and burner nozzle. Thanks to...
