Fw190 A-8 red 13...

This is another DML/Trimaster 1/48 kit.What a pleasure to do it!!
You can hate or love Dragon kits of early 90's...I love it despite all of its imperfections.
But, the final result always is spectacular (well, with a little patience).
This specific kit is a good rendition to one of the most successful fighter pilot of all times: Heinz Bär. He flew more that 1.000 combat missions and has more than 220 kills, 16 of them mounting Me-262 jet fighter. He was shot down in 18 occasions!!...but was killed in an aerial accident in 1957.

The detail level of the kit is crispy and reasonably accurate (very, indeed)...the final result is outstanding and an absolute eye-catcher.

Some decals was replaced by hand made templates and painted directly on the plane. This was one of the most exiting projects ever made in my life (I have more that 50 years as a modeler) and it was my first Fw190 in 1/48 scale.
  

 

Fokker D.VII...

Yes, this is another of the classical subject that every aircraft modeler must do, at least once a time.

I said before I love DML kits. This is one of the best in 1/48 ever produced by this company. Extraordinary flying machine, D.VII is a must in every company catalog. One thing that helps to the great popularity of that subject is its simple rigging plan. I'd brought a Roden Fokker D.VII kit some time ago, but is not so good as DML. 

Campini Caproni...

With no doubt this is a very strange plane and a must in every early jet models collection.
Unfortunately, the only kit available in 1/72 is the old italian Delta 2. I say that because it has severe inaccuracies in general dimension and shape. But, the final model is absolutely acceptable and is a very eye-catcher in the shelf.
Meanwhile, I am anxiously waiting for a new tool kit...

 

 

Aviatik DI...

This is the excellent Flashback 1/48 kit representing one of the most famous Austrian flying machines in WWI. Specifically, DI was the first totally austrian design fighter.
Moreover, the Austrian Air Force was the only one in use that kind of logenze pattern with big hexagons and color combinations.
The model represent the mount of  Oberleutnat Linke-Crawford, a very well known machine.

The kit is easy to build and the large lozenge decals runs very well. The final look of the model is odd and toy-like. Time photos show that the pattern is correct, but not so shocking contrast among colors...who knows how it looked then.

In any case, a model of the Aviatik DI, with any camo scheme, is a must in every WWI aircraft models collection.
