  1. First for all which doesn't know the history LATVIA was not NAZI, so Latvian Swastika are older the NAZI swastika. Latvia uset it from 1918 to 1940 when lost independence against Soviets. My latest finished kit a Airfix Bristol Bulldog MK.I in Latvian markings from the 1930-th. My moulds are from the 1990-th and are bad quality. Decals are custom made by a friend of my. I forgot the riging at landing gears, added it after first photo shot. When I will got a moulds from 1970-80-th I will made a Finnish one. Enjoy it.

  2. Finished today- COVID number 26. Decals from Kagero printed by Cartograf, very good quality.
    On the model are tail warning antennas from the AN/APS-13 missing, I will add them when I finished next P-51D with this system. Kit is OOB only antennas on fuselage and between undercarriage legs and resin gunsight are added.

  3. Just now, Pete F said:

    I wish people would stop posting pictures of real aircraft and saying they are models 🙂

     

    Seriously I can't believe this is the old Airfix kit.

     

    Which metallic paint did you use?

    I used Gunze: Mr.Metal MC-218 Aluminium on Mr.Finishing black surfacer 1500 for the linen areas and on gloss dark blue for metal parts. Exhaust various paints.

  4. Estonian aviation from the thirties.
    I used a old edition of Airfix Bulldog, all parts looks near perfect not like in the second kit I build now from the 1995.
    I add seat belts from Eduard, instrument panel from Yahu and made some cockpit details from scratch.
    Decals from old Blue Rider edition, glue doesn't work any more.
    Radio antennas diden't look good but....

  5. I just finished my 18-22th COVID modells. All from Academy OOB some with Tamiya wheels, 2 with rims from Tamiya on Academy wheels.
    I shortened wheel legs by 2mm, but I still don't think it is enough. I also replaced the propeller with those of the Tamiya models. Kits World decals, very good print quality, with substantive content such as "The Down Necker" much worse. The manual says bubbletop P-47 but it's Razorback.

  6. My first in May. "My Achin" from Maj. Harry C.Crime - Hasegawa that I started years ago, cut the engine coverst and try to put there a KMC Resin set. In April I decided not to do it and added the missing elements and closed the engine. I cut in the past ailerons and flaps and must replaced it - ailerons from KMC set, flaps from Airfix left overs. Decals Kits-World KW172142 set are very nice in print Quality.
