Tried a diorama, in stead of my usual aircraft topics. I wanted to create an impression of a street scene, just after the finish of the war.

Anyone building 1/72 byplanes is to be congratulated. This one looks nice in its Estonian color scheme.

Brilliant.

Pretty much out of the box. Didn’t weather this one, as pictures show clean aircraft.

Hi all, it’s the Airfix 1/48 kit. The exhausts are Rexx. I also used Eduard seat belts and instrument panel. And yes the pilot got fined, lol. But he thought it looked cool…

Typical Airfix kit. Reasonable fit, with a couple of quirks, deep and wide panel lines and good decals. overall a good kit, worth building.

I always thought the pointy wing Spitfires looked a bit weird. Enough motivation to build one. This build was used as a weathering exercise. Some techniques came up ok, and I’ll use them again, some were not so very successful. I used Montex masks, which worked perfectly. The camouflage scheme is also a little different. I did as much research as I could on the colours, but in the end I went with the description of someone whose granddad repainted them locally when they arrived in the east. Chocolate brown and dark green, possibly locally sourced is what he mentioned. I might be totally wrong, but there you go.

Amongst the best 1/72 Mustangs I have seen so far. Very well done!

Very nice, and great rigging effort

Hi all, This is the older Mauve kit. Not a bad kit really. Eduard instrumentPanel and seatbelts. Montex masks.

It’s a wonderful build Mike. Very well done.

Yep, and the roundels just wouldn’t settle. Had to get them off and respray.

Hi, My latest one, Tamiya’s older but wonderfull 1/48 Mustang. I had some serious problems with the decals, but nothing the spares box couldn’t handle. only very minimal weathering as most references I found seem to show fairly clean aircraft.

Another brilliant kit from WNW. The wings would have made it way to big, so I decided to display them without. The technician is gobbled together from CSM figures. Remove part of the side to display that beautiful interior. Found the nano led online, kinda makes it a bit different. Bit of scratch building here and there and a ton of rigging.

Absolutely fabulous build. I do build 1/32 WWI, but this model…inspirational.

Yep it's the Tamiya kit, thanks

Lovely kit. Perfect fit. Only aftermarket used are Eduard seatbelts and Montex masks.

That's rather cool. Well done!

very very nice, shows your excellent modelling skills.

I am not a fan of 144, but this build is absolutely stunning for such a small model

Thanks Steve, it’s the one when he hadn’t realised that he was going to number them😉

Read the book, built the plane

absolutely wonderful. Soo many attractive scheme's for Pup's. This one is one of my favourites.

Great effort of a rarely seen model. Superb!

very nice AEG.
