  1. Here is an old LS 1:144 Panavia Tornado IDS finished as 43+47, of MFG1, Marineflieger, at Schleswig-Jagel, German Federal Republic, in the early 1980s. I built this one back in 1999. I replaced the stores and pylons with those from an Italeri (Dragon) kit. I forgot to put nose weight so I finished the kit "in flight". I therefore added the two crew members from plasticene! The kit was mostly painted with brush except for the white and the varnish which were airbrushed. The main section of the stand came from an old Matchbox kit. Thanks for looking Miguel
  2. Hello everyone! Here is my Anigrand Craftswork 1:144 Horten Ho XIIIb finished in fictitious JG5 markings. I built this one back in 2013. The kit was built OOB and I only thinned the undercarriage doors as much as I could. Painting and varnishing was all done with brush and decals came from various sources since the kit's insignias were wrong for late-war fighters. Thanks for looking Miguel
  3. Very nice indeed!! Great job. I have this decal sheet and am torn between this option and the camo scheme. Let's see what I decide when I get round to it but I hope it comes out as nicely as yours has. Miguel
  4. Thank you very much @RMCS, @kapam, @Walter, @Corsairfoxfouruncle and @corsaircorp. Miguel
  5. Hello everyone! Here is another of my Sweet 1:144 Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4s which I built in 2008. It represents "Yellow 17" of 1/1 FS, Royal Hungarian Air Force, flown from Kharkov, Russia, in winter 1942-43. This was a Luftwaffe machine transferred to the Hungarians. Due to the pace of the war, it took some time before all Hungarian markings were painted on so for a while these machines flew with German markings and the Hungarian flag on the tail. The kit was built OOB and was fully painted and varnished with brush. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome Miguel
  6. Lovely!! Very nicely finished indeed! I can only hope the 1:72 Airfix kit in my stash ends up coming out looking as good as yours. Miguel
  7. Thank you very much @DennisTheBear, @RMCS, @Corsairfoxfouruncle (good luck!) and @Mark Joyce. Miguel
  8. Here is one of my Sweet 1:144 "BoB Aces" Hawker Hurricane Mk.Is built back in 2009. It represents V6555/DT-A, flown by Sqn Ldr Robert Stanford Tuck, No. 257 Sqn, RAF, from North Weald, October 1940. The kit was fully painted with brush except for the final matt varnish which was airbrushed. Thanks for looking Miguel
  9. Lovely!! Beautifully finished!! I have one of these built (also a conversion) in 1:72! I like this variant more than the more famous "Buchon". Miguel
  10. Very nicely done indeed and spectacular finish! Miguel
  11. Thank you very much @John D.C. Masters. Miguel
  12. Hello everyone! Here is my FE Resin 1:144 Mikoyan-Gurevich I-250 (MiG-13). This was a mixed-propulsion fighter design with a piston engine and an air reaction compressor jet or motorjet that first flew in March 1945. Only 12 pre-production machines were built and an initial order of 50 MiG-13s was placed. Trials were carried out until April 1948 when the design was cancelled. This kit represents a pre-production machine used for tests by the 176th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment of the 324th Fighter Aviation Division, PVO, from October 1946 onwards. This machine was also tested by the Soviet Naval Aviation at Riga from October 1947 to April 1948. I built this tiny resin kit in 2009. I added a seat in the cockpit. The main undercarriage parts and the propeller had to be replaced from parts taken from my spares and sanded to shape in the case of the propeller. The canopy was a vacform part. I also added the radio mast and wires and the wing probe from stretched sprue. The kit was fully painted and varnished with brush. Thanks for looking Miguel
  13. Thanks David. Certainly. It is one of the "bonus" kits with the Convair XB-46 kit. It has the option to be built as either a B-45A or an RB-45C. Miguel
