FW190A-5 Hans Phlipp

So, I am presently looking to outfit my A5 in the livery of Major Hans Philipp. Here's one of the A5's he flew as Kommodore of JG1 during the defense of the Reich operations.

And here is the 206 Kill Experten himself holding one of Dachshunds. In fact his aircraft "Minke Pinke" was named for his two little Dachshunds. Unfortunately Philipp was shot down and killed during a dogfight with P47's of the USAAF 56th Fighter group on October 8, 1943. Although hit and badly burned he managed to bail out of his stricken FW190A6 but fell to his death when his parachute did not open.

My next project is going to be Eduard's FW190A5. Just started on the cockpit and will post some pictures soon.

1/32 Hasegawa Ki-61 Hien. Tokyo Defender.
This is my latest build. This Ki-61 was flown by Major Teruhiko Kobayashi Commander of the 244th Sentai that was responsible for the air defense of Tokyo in early 1945. Hope you like it.

Here are some updates on my build of the Hawker typhoon.
I have completed the cockpit and cockpit seat and have begun to paint the aircraft.

New Build Hasegawa Hawker Typhoon IB

Hi everyone,

I am about to embark on my first new build in quite some time. This time it is going to be the 1/48 scale Hasegawa Hawker Typhoon IB bubble top. I am going to be modelling a late Typhoon that was flown by F/L Hugh Fraser  of 439 Squadron RCAF who shot down two FW 190's and an ME-262 in early 1945 whilst flying aircraft 5V-X called Nicky.
To model a late Typhoon I added some mandatory upgrades such as a four bladed prop and larger tail surfaces known as tempest tail planes. Optional upgrades are the Airies cockpit, exhausts, wheel set from Barracuda. I also found a set of decals for Nicky which were hard to come by but I did manage to get my hands on them. This aircraft will be loaded out with bombs instead of rockets as was the practice in Canadian Typhoon squadrons.
