Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thanks guys! I've cobbled together two versions of the instrument panel. One is pre-painted Eduard photoetch panels glued onto the kit plastic parts (right). The other is the kit plastic parts with the molded detail and the kit decals placed over it (left). It took a bit of effort to get the decal t...

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
What?! John is working in 1/48? On a Post WWII aircraft?! :wow: :tease: Well, in any case I'm sure that this will be a great looking build to follow along. Man it sure does look to be a beauty of a kit! I wonder if Eduard tackle a Sea Fury in 1/48, since the Tempest II and Sea Fury are rather close...

Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Coming off a long break from modeling, I momentarily jumped back onto my Spitfire XIVe conversion but now as I await some additional 3D-printed parts from Laminar Flow Design, I am going to start something new and a little different. Straying from my normal WW2 fighter subjects, I am going to do a p...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Wow, looking good on the mods. Been keeping up on FB, blad to see you back at the bench! Thank you Lyle! The trip to Central Asia is always a high point of the year for me. The months of organizing and preparation, the actual trip itself and then the mental decompression and jetlag afterwards and g...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Hello SPAm community! It's been a while since I've spent meaningful time at my modeling bench but I'm getting that urge again. Not sure what project I want to continue on at the moment but as I'm contemplating, I thought I'd crack open the Spitfire build again and try to re-orient myself. I left ...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
It's been a while but I think I can get back onto this build. After starting this build, I've learned that the XIVe cockpit differs in some ways from the XVIe and I wanted to attempt to address some of those differences. The most significant is a big control panel that resides on the port sidewall. ...

:shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: :bow: :bow: :bow: A gorgeous finish John! I do like how the engine access panels are removable to show off the nose area. Thanks Carlos! Appreciate the positive feedback! You know how much I love watching every single build. I have no words except sit back and follo...

Border 1/35 Fw 190A-6 Nowotny Double Chevron
Here is my finished Border 1/35 Fw 190A-6 painted in the markings of Walter Nowotny's Double Chevron. It was built mostly out-of-the-box since I couldn't find much in the way aftermarket for this kit at the time. Major markings were painted using custom cut masks. The kit was slightly modified to de...
