About this blog

My fascination with Military modelling is where my enthusiasm for modeling began...So keeping up with the Military Modelling hobby is always a good break from the railway side, plus I know people will be interested in reading this.

King Tiger Part 4 - The End

To end off...   The Tank has obviously gone for airbrushing, as I finished last time I'd just applied the sand base coat. Following this, I began by painting the Green and following that the Brown, very easily carried out. Following this, I painted the dot's using a small brush using the 3 colours - beginning with sand, Green then Brown. In that pattern. I think the result was brilliant.    Following this I gave the model the gloss coat, following that I applied the decals to

Der Rote Kampfflieger- Fokker Dr.1 - 1/48 - Part 1

Perhaps the most famous German Ace of the Great War, Manfred Von Richthofen, or as we all know him The Red Barron!    The aim is to do his Fokker dr.1 Tri-plane, in the well known Red colour scheme but there's a difficulty with painting the Red Baron's aircraft...Which one do you choose? According to various sources out there are a number of camouflages which he carried on the Fokker dr.1, too many for me to go through but for those interested I recommend a quick search on Google or lo
