Gary Hatherly
has done an extensive amount of detailing and scratchbuilding on
his big 1/32 Tamiya F-4C Phantom Wild Weasel “ Brain Damage”.
Gary detailed the cockpit, wheels well, exhausts and many more
areas before giving his Phantom the SEA camo with the noseart and
markings for “Brain Damage”. This was a massive project
and turned out looking excellent. |

Kees Kuyper

This is a combination of 2 different models. I love the
camo scheme on this one.

Carmel J. Attard
joins us in style with his 1/72 Azure PZL P-24B/E in Romanian
markings. Cermel did a conversion to convert his PZL P-11 into a
P-24. He details the process in his article and includes
photos of the conversion. His finished model is wearing
Romanian markings and he also included photos of one wearing
Bulgarian markings as well as the history of this type of aircraft
in battle. This is a very cool project, it looks so easy when
Carmel does it. |

Luqmanul Hakim A.K.A Mee Wan
is here with his stunning 1/72 Hasegawa Su-27. This
is without a doubt one of the coolest looking camo schemes and the
gentle weathering job completes this model to a very high
standard. Sit back and enjoy the photos.

Floyd S. Werner, Jr.
has done a spectacular job on his 1/48 Tamiya P-51D.
Floyd used some after market items to
dress up the cockpit and exhausts etc and then finished it
flawlessly in the markings for a famous American Ace. This one
is a beauty and Floyds article is a very interesting read.
