Hi all, Here is a model that I finished about 20 years ago. It is the P-40 N from Mauve at 1/48. It did not please me much anymore because I found it sad on its base so I decided to redo this base. At the same time I made some additions of antennas on the model. I also redid the exhaust traces and I then ironed a layer of matt varnish because I found it too shiny. I replaced the original figurine with 2 new ones. The pilot comes from a FALLER box and the mechanic from an ICM box. They are painted with an airbrush for the primer and the base coat of uniforms and faces. The details and juices were done with a brush. It is a P-40 N-5 CU from the 49th FG. 7th FS. piloted by 1st Lt. Jack A. FENIMORE and based in Hollandia (New Guinea) in 1944. The only addition to the kit is the cockpit from True Detail. The paint used is Gunze - Olive Drab and Neutral Gray. This is what it gives in the end. The 1st photo is of the model before transformation. The revamped model. Hope that you like it JiP

Very nice Stéphane.

Hi all, It's been a long time that I don't have posted a model here. I finally finished this model which I started in 2007 and which had been on standby for many years. This is the Kugisho D4Y2-S Judy Nightfighter from FineMolds at 1/48. The paints used are the new lacquers from Tamyia - LP31 Dark Green 2 IJN and LP32 Light Gray IJN. The hinomarus were painted with a house mixture and masks. The exhaust traces were made with airbrush + pigments. The decals are of the brand REVI Decals 48002 Japanese SchrägeMusik. The figures: The pilot comes from a box of IJAA & IJNA Modelkasten figurines - The navigator with his bag comes from the original FineMolds box and the mechanic has been transformed and comes from an old Tamiya box. The wheeled fire extinguisher comes from the Hasegawa box with the Isuzu tank truck. Make way for photos. I hope you like it.

Here is one of the models that I’m working for several months on my work bench It is a Ventura PV1 equipped as a night fighter, belonging to the VMF (N) 531 and based in the Solomon Islands in the Pacific during 1943-1944. The model: This is the Revell model - Pro-Modeler 1/48 released there is a few years ago.
