Edit: I am rebuilding this gallery tread after the Great Photobucket Scam of 2017.
Deep in the confines of the Borg Cube is my collection of finished models. Most are 1/72 aircraft.
Some are over 25 years old, some are recent, but I will post them in random order.
Hasegawa 1/72 Shinden: my first Hasegawa kit, easy build, as always, cockpit is a bit spartan, painted with Tamiya acrylics
Waku 1/72 Aero C.11/Yak-11: Vacuform kit, very basic, interior and gear a scratchbuild, propellor and engine cowling are modfied from a KP La-5. painted with Tamiya acrylics
Heller Polikarpov I-153 (SMER Hitech rebox: with PE and resin parts, Propagteam decals (thin but fragile) kit was modified to increase accurasy: engines cowling, fattened fuselage, removed imanigary ribbing between the wings, reshaped tailplanes etc. painted with Humbrol enamel.
Special Hobby 3e seat Me-262, Luft 46, early short run with PE, fit was suprisingly good, painted with Tamiya.
VEB Plasticard Suchoi Su-7, old build, rockets where replaced with those from Revell Su-25, canopy modified, pilot added. Firt attempt at weathering, brush painted with Humbrol enamel.
