Hello all and long time no see. Had some login issues and got them fixed. Good to be back on this site .This is the awesome 1/32 Tamiya Mosquito. NOT a single issue and this kit falls together. I been plugging away on this for three- four week strait. Eagle Edition has some really great decals...

Back with another stupid question. I'm nearing the painting stage of the 1/48 B-24J Liberator. I already did the B-24D a few years ago, and it was painted what appears to be olive drab. The instructions for the J say "Use picture on box cover to match for correct painting". That's a real...

Hi everybody, I left home all my w.i.p. models and here in my holiday place I started a new adventure. The kit is the new Fw from Revell and my goal is to try to replicate this bird "weiis 11" better seen here: I also provided the resin cockpit made by Eduard/Brassin that...

Hello, This is my another finished project. Old Revell kit with custom made decals painted with Gunze acrylic (ADF grey) and Revell glow paint (orange).

The Germans had rings of anti-aircraft surrounding their cities and more Allied aircraft were shot down by flak than by fighters. So, while this is not really an aircraft, I think it might be interesting to the folks on the board. l got started in the winter, left for awhile, then completed...

Well pretty happy with my second diorama. P-51B is from tamiya and Figure from the Hasegawa WWII pilot set. All painted with tamiya paints. Cheers Brian

Here's another photo from the Panama Canal Zone in WWII. A B-17E in an unusual color scheme.Most likely used for anti-sub patrols, though the Navy claimed that mission. Possibly locally painted?

1) Up until a few days ago I have always believed the reason the Luftwaffe painted spirals on the spinners was to alert ground crew the prop was spinning much the same way the allies painted the tips yellow. I gather some people think it was an optical illusion to dazzle gunners which makes no...

I've seen lots of explanations of the 'Grunherz' emblem of JG 54, including the reference to Trautloft's origins in Thuringia. Whilst reading excerpts from Hannes Trautloft's diary, the man who would later command the unit, I found an interesting entry from his time in Spain, which confirms...

A long time ago I posted a thread about what we do with all these planes we build. Since there is no afterlife to take them to, eh? I had the sad duty to sift thru Hundreds of donated builds. Most of them manhandeled by others, parts broken off when stacked on top of one another and just age...

Gents, Can anyone shed light on what the colors of the camo on this hybrid would be? It appears to have (at least) the underside of the wing-tips painted one color (or colour if you like), the vertical another (or is that just sunshine?) and the fuselage still another. Any...
