Hello, this is my Macchi 202 Italeri. It was a commission build and was made strictly OOB, so I did not add anything, nor correct any mistake of the kit...

Excellent model!!

Hello, this is my Tamiya F-35, built mostly OOB, with the exception of Eduard seat belts and DM Decals 6° Stormo markings. The Weapons Storage and Security System (WS3) was scratchbuilt with Evergreen; Eduard's B-61 bombs were modified with JDAM tails in order to depict the B-61-12.

I airbrushed them with matt black, like the rest of the guns, then I drybrushed them with Humbrol Aluminum. I then made a wash with an heavily diluted Vallejo black, in order to highlight al the recesses. All the raised detail were then brush painted with Vallejo Model Air silver.

No problem with that; if you want, I can send you the pictures I took while I was bulding it...just give me a few days to resize them and I can send them to you with Wetransfer...

Hello, this is a Special Hobby 1/32 Tempest Mk.II. I added a CMK engine and a CMK fuel and oil fuselage tanks set. The figure comes from the Black Dog range and was painted with Vallejos. The rear part of the engine with the carburetor air intake was scratchbuilt; most of the rivets on the wings and fuselage were filled with cyano and redone in limited number with a riveter.

Awesome model!

Stunning model! Well done!

This is what I mean:

Excellent paint job! Just an observation about fascist flags on the wings: it looks like they are upside down, since the tip of the axe should point forward.... Other than that, a very nice model!

Hello Everyone, this is my latest model, an Hasegawa F-18D with Wolfpack detail set, Black Box cokpit, MAW decals, Aires exhausts, Brassin weapons and Reedoak figures...

Hello, this is my Tamiya 1/32 P-51K. I used an Eduard set for the cockpiit placards, while the wheels are from Reskit. Cheers!

I used Gunze H24, adding about 4 drops of red and about 7/8 drops of Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey into a new jar. The center of each panel was slightly highlighted with the base color added with yellow.

Yes, I would recommend it; apart from some minor adjustment work in the nose area, the rest of the conversion fits the GWH kit really well, particularly the cockpit...

Hello, this is an Italian RT-33 obtained from the 1/48 GWH T-33 kit and converted using the Misterkit 3d-printed resin conversion.

I airbrushed the fuselage with three light sand shades, using Tamiya paint: I made a mixture with Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna and Titanium White and smeared it on the fuselage, working on a panel at a time, in order to have a different wood grain on each panel: The oil color was cleaned with an old brush, until I got a decent grain, then everything was left to dry for at least one day and protected with a layer of Future:

Yes, I made the leather padding with Tamiya epoxy putty:

Here's how I did it: I rolled a riveter on a strip of 0.25mm transparent Evergreen, then I opened each hole with a 0.3mm drill bit. I then used the Evergreen strip as a mask and airbrushed the nail heads on clear decal film.

Hello, this is my Wingnut Albatros D.V. Lozenge decals are from Aviattic, while the figure comes from the Copper State range. Wood panels were painted with oils over an acrylic base.

Hi Norman, I used Gunze paints but I mixed the two grays of the model using various leftovers of grays that I had at home and which in turn were leftovers from other blends, so I can't tell you which are the original colors I started from ...

Hello, this is a Meng 1/48 F-35A wit Kasl Hobby resin cockpit, Brassin weapons, Caracal decals, Dream Model access ladder and Plusmodel figure... Thanks for watching, bye!

On the glossy model, I just did an oil wash with a medium gray; to give you an idea, it had a hue slightly darker than the Tamiya XF-54. I used the same color on the gray parts of the plane and on the black fin. Panel lines are reasonably deep, so it’s an easy task.

It’s a big model with a huge amount of parts, so it takes time to build. Nevertheless, the kit goes together remarkably well. It has a number of options during the building phase, so you need to plan in advance. The kit is engineered so that the radome can be left open, so, if you keep it closed, you need to do a bit of sanding in that area. Same thing for the dorsal spine, as it is broken down in two parts, in preparation for the new kits that will come out later on (different Tornado versions have a different dorsal spine). I dry-fit the slats and the flaps in the retracted position and looks like they fit the wing perfectly; if you put the wing in other than the fully forward position, you need to cut and adjust the wing retraction vane rubber seal. Landing gear wheels are provided both in rubber and in plastic, the later with weight effect; I suggest to use the rubber ones, as their design is much more realistic than that of the plastic version.

Hello, this is the new Italeri 1/32 Tornado; it was built straight out of the box; the only correction I made is the color of the Tornado silhouette on the tail, since, as you probably know, the kit one has a wrong color.

Markus, I eliminated the big antenna aft of the cockpit... ...some minor changes in the instrument panel... ...A-37 exhausts are bigger than T-37's exhausts, so I closed and rebuilt them... ...wingtips were scratchbuilt with some styrene layers and sanded to shape... ...air intake must be modified... ...wheels were scratchbuilt in resin on a lathe... ...I also scratchbuilt some new landing gear doors... ...the good old Tornado...
