Read moreThe Mitsubishi Ka-14 was a prototype of the famous A5M Claude, a predecessor to the even more famous A6M Zero. Its most distinctive visual feature is the inverted gull wing with beautiful elliptical wingtips (however, the inverted gull shape was abandoned in the production version of the A5M), and in the case of this particular prototype version, the interesting modified engine cowling.
Read moreThe Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (Oscar) was one of the most numerous Japanese WW2 fighters, a land-based contemporary of the more famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero.
Read moreThese Games Workshop miniatures are the rubric marines, regular troops of the Thousand Sons. They were formerly known as the XVth space marine legion, loyal to the Emperor of Mankind, but now they worship Tzeentch, a chaos god of time, constant change, knowledge, and also of lies, manipulations, and madness.
Read moreThe Curtiss BFC-2 was basically a fighter-bomber version of the Curtiss F11C Goshawk. It was the last of the Curtiss naval fighters, outliving its planned replacement, the unfortunate BF2C. This particular machine served on USS Saratoga with the VB-3B “High Hat” squadron in 1937.

Read morePolikarpov I-16 type 10, also known as Mosca (Fly), flown in 1938 during the Spanish Civil War by Eduardo Claudín Moncada. If you want to build a decent model of a Spanish I-16 in 1/72, you need to backdate a later version. I don’t mind, as I enjoy such conversions.
Read moreMy model depicts a No. 310 Sqn RAF machine, flown during Autumn 1940 by P/O Emil Fechtner, DFC. On October 29, 1940, he collided mid-air with one of his fellow pilots, Jaroslav Maly. While Maly managed to belly land his damaged plane, Fechtner crashed into the ground.

Read moreBf 108 Taifun of the Kondor Legion, Spain, 1937 (?). This is an earlier appearance of this particular aircraft – all in RLM 24 blue (it was later repainted in RLM 02 grey). This cute little toy car with wings is a first model of a German airplane since my childhood 🙂 Also, a first model of a completely non-combat plane (although I made a few PRU or training versions of combat planes earlier).
Read moreMy most recent work and the opener for this new blog (ta-da!) is a machine of the 1st Gruppo ANR, stationed in Vicenza, northeast Italy in summer 1944. I already published this article on iModeler earlier, but this is a slightly updated version with new photos – I had to fix the national markings (more on this below).
Read moreI uploaded a couple of my older models as well, for better testing of some features of this new blog. This one I built in October 2018. It’s the second prototype of I-5, in its former configuration without a hump behind the cockpit.
