Hi folks,
Here's my finished build of this old Airfix kit (circa 1960) shown in the old Malaysia + Singapore Airlines 1969 livery. Another build for the circa Singapore 1965-1969 aircraft theme build.
Colors used were Gunze Acrylics and subtle weathering with Tamiya Panel Line Accent colors...
This kit has been sitting on my shelf 90% complete for probably 2 years now. I never fully put it away because I wanted it there taunting me so that I would finally finish it. Well, mission accomplished at last. Maybe not my best effort, but she looks good on the shelf and I'm glad to have her...
Hi Guys,
I'm not much of a modeller and until recently I have not spent much time at all in the last 20 years making models. When I was a teenager, like the rest of you I suspect, I had model planes all over the place, but my modelling got to a certain level and has been there ever since. I...
My Albatros is still waiting to be completed, but in the mean time I was thinking to a bird on the other side of the front-line and my decision fall on this kit:
The idea is to replicate an Italian bird, may be this one:
but I still have to decide.
As usual I started from the pilot office...

Hi All,
This tread will be an ongoing one for a while. I hope to ressurect from time to time. My goal is to finish some of the kits of the so called "Shelf of Doom". Kits that were started, but some reason abandoned and never finished. So a few WWII aircraft types from my shelf of Doom will...
Let's have a look at Sanger's "Nakajima Ki-49 -Helen"
Another intersting subject from U.K. based company Sanger is the Ki-49 in 1/48th scale.
As it comes as no surprise, this is another Vacu kit with white metal detail parts, a decal sheet for 5 aircraft and a scale drawing of the type. Again...
This might seem like an odd question, but why don't we have a section about kit instructions?
Some of you may recall that I have the Revell Me410B-6/R2 kit (OOB build) and it turns out that the kit is an up-graded 1997 release of Revell's Me410A-1/B-2 kit. In my search, I have found a few...
Hello nice site. I have the old Hasegawa-Mini Craft 1/72 Jake minus the decals.
I did some searching and found a newer kit with decals for the plane from the cruiser
Tone which spotted the US fleet at the Battle of Midway. From what I can find the old
Hasegawa kit calls out for gray, which I...

One more deviation from my modelling habit.
I just started very recently to assembly a model of the above cruiser starting from the Tauro Model kit in 1:400 scale.
Here the first pictures showing the wooden deck and some other components just primed.
Some more to follow.

Hi all!
Let's start a new project. This time will be the well known Curtiss fighter and backbone of the American Air Force in the beginning of World War Two, the P-40E.
There is an excellent article about those first P-40E's received by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in August...
Hi folks,
Here's my first foray into transport aircraft builds. It's an old Airfix mould kit circa 1960, yup, a kit which was around even before most of us were here. It was re-issued by Airfix a few years back and sad to say was not updated accordingly. Besides from the propeller options...
With the recent discussion of hobby shops closing, it got me thinking about the fun I used to have exploring those shops and dreaming of having that monster aircraft kit that was always taunting me from behind the counter...
It also took me back to the first kits I had as a kid and so here we...
I would like to "recycle" my old Tamiya kit in an aircraft "probably" flown by Toshio Ota from Tainan Kokutai, 2nd Chutai during summer 1942.
Not a big problem to engrave panel lines on the fuselage, but I think the cockpit is very poorly detailled...
I looked for some photo-etched or resin...
