Achtung! Flugzeug!

I don't show enough photographs of the 1/48 scale model aeroplanes that I have built and painted over the past three or so years. I am not a skilled model maker. I am still a kid inside when it comes to building these kits. I want them built and finished speedily. If I could get away with hanging them from the bedroom ceiling I would! I content myself with seeing them fly above the wargames table. I don't have an air brush or any of that fancy sort of technology so painting is done with brushes and acrylic paints. So, here is a Phonix DII (Special Hobby kit), a Roland CII (Eduard Weekender kit) and a monster Gotha GV (a vintage Aurora kit from the 1960s and 70s).

Those are really nice Mark. There is something quite gorgeous about well-painted WWI aircraft, and those are really inspiring.
Best wishes,
Jason

I agree - lovely builds but what really struck me was the backdrop. That's an awe inspiring paint set-out you have going on.
