Just completed, here's my first ever 1:32 scale aircraft model, a Bf-109 G-6/R-6, built using Revell's kit #04665 and Eduard's Cannon underwing pods. Camo colours from Vallejo's Model Air range. It was a nice experience (at least, I enjoy it enough to already have a couple more 1:32 warbirds on my to build pile)! Cheers

Just completed! Cheers

Final stretch for its completion! I hope to share some photos of the completed model soon! Cheers

A bit closer to completion. Still need to add some grime around the engine area and some exhaust residues (and other small details) to complete it. Cheers

Quick update! Not much progress, as time for the hobby has been scarce. All panel lines were picked up using Ammo's model washes and the underside got an airbrushed general dirtiness layer, mainly around the most prominent details. I hope to post more soon. Cheers

Thank you all for your kind words. The weathering has started! So far I've marked the lower fuselage panel lines. I hope to post more soon. Cheers

Here are a few photos of my Bf109 G-6/R-6, a bit closer to completion! Decals are applied, but some still show a bit of silvering that will be addressed asap. There are also several details to be painted, before adding some weathering. I hope to post more soon. Cheers

Here are a few photos of the latest model to leave my bench! It's a tiny Tomcat, built using the Revell kit, modelling one of the aircraft that took part in the movie "The Final Countdown" (an early 80's movie that is a must for any aviation enthusiast). Cheers

This model has returned to my bench! The mottling is basically completed. I hope to post more updates soon! Cheers

Here's what's on my bench at the moment! I'm building it using the Revell kit and it is my first attempt at 1:32 scale aviation! The mottling is halfway done (just RLM74, still missing RLM75). Cheers

Spare time for the hobby is not abundant but once in a while I manage to sit at the workbench and relax a bit! Basic camo colours are almost complete (still need to clean up some overspray and repair a few issues) and I hope to start mottling painting soon. I hope to share some more progress soon! Cheers

Quick update! Overall basecoat of RLM76. I hope to post more soon! Cheers

Little progress during this last week! A bit of detail added to the main gear wells and some base color on the main landing gear. I hope to post more soon (and to show some considerable progress). Cheers

Before starting the camouflage application, I still need to work on a few detail. Today I've managed to add the hydraulic lines on the landing gear (just 0.4mm copper wire and aluminum tape). I hope to start painting it soon (I still need to redo a few panel lines and add some cabling in the gear well). Cheers

Little progress was done in the last few weeks. Here are a few photos of the model present state. I hope to be able to share some more progress soon. Cheers

Quick update, with the almost completed cockpit (I still need to add the gun sight). The cockpit is dry-fitted in the fuselage halves and the fit is almost perfect. I hope to post another update soon. Cheers

Exactly! Cheers

Yes, I've decided to depict one of 3./JG26 aircraft, flown by Hptm. Klaus Mietusch (profiled in page 18 of Kagero's Units #6 book). Cheers

This is my first 1:32 scale aircraft ever! All the impressive builds I've seen over the years have inspired me to try this scale and I've picked up Revell's Bf-109 G-6 kit to try it as it is very affordable and of decent quality. I'll try to post regularly, but spare time for our beloved hobby is not always available. I leave you with a couple of photos of some sub-assemblies, with the fuselage halves dry-fitted and the cockpit main components. Cheers

Here are a few photos of the latest model to leave the scale modelling bench! It's a 1:144 scale Harrier GR.7, built using Revell's kit. It was built straight from the box (I just wanted a quick fun project), but if you want to improve it (add a few missing details that are present in the GR.7 variant) you can use Revell's decal positioning drawings as reference (at least to me, they seam to shoe most (if not all) the missing details). I hope you like it. Cheers

Beautiful work! Congratulations on an amazing model! Cheers

Here are a few photos of the latest model to leave my scale modelling bench (apparently, 1:144 scale has became the scale I mostly fiddle with). It's a minute UT-1 floatplane, built using Mikro-Mir's kit and some scratch built details. I run into some mishaps with the float struts, problems I tried to hide in the photos! I hope you like it! Cheers P.S.: I hope to build a 1:32 scale aircraft model this year (I just need to clear some space in my bench - i.e. finish some ongoing builds)

My love affair with this scale continues and the latest model to leave my bench was this minute Skyhawk, an A-4E in IAF colours, built using the 1:144 scale Eduard kit. The M.E.R. and the Mk.82s are from Heroes Models. It was painted with Mr.Color's, Vallejo's and Ammo's paints and washes. Cheers

Here are a few more photos of the (few) progress made in the last weeks. I hope to share some more progress soon. Cheers

Early stages of a Fw 190 F-8 being built as one of the few experimental R-3 variants (armed with two Rheinmetall-Borsig MK 103 30mm cannons). Besides the Tamiya kit, I am also using Eduard's p.e. set, Master cannons/pitot, True details wheels and the MK 103 are from an old Verlinden set. I hope to post more soon. Cheers
