Benner
has put plenty of effort into
research to create his UAE 1/48 Heller Mirage 2000 RAD. Benner
add a Neomega cockpit with a True Details seat along wiht Eduard
photo etch, plus cut and dropped the flaps. For a weapons load
he turned to the very nice Skunkworks Mirage Weapons Set. Once
all that was done he used a combination of kit decal and Carpena to
get the markings for the exact aircraft he was building. The
finished model is an absolute treat to see.

1/48 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane Mark 1.
David added the Eduard Zoom cockpit set
as well as Moskit exhausts. David also added plenty of
scratchbuilt details to his Hurricane and finished it with a
flawless painting and weathering job......but it is the cockpit I
enjoyed seeing the most.

Olivier Barles
starts today's update with his
flawlessly finished 1/32 Trumpeter Grumman F4F-3 "Guadalcanal" Wildcat.
Olivier improved the detailing with spark plugs wires, seat
belts, antenna wire and some added detailing in the cockpit.
He also made a vac-u-fomed canopy. Olivier also put much
thought into what shade of blue/gray to paint his Wildcat and I must
say I was interested reading about this in his article as well as
seeing the shade he finally chose for his model.

John corrected many large and small shape and accuracy
issues on his Harrier as well as gave it cockpit and wheel well sets
from Aires to dress up the detail. John did a stunning job on
his harrier and if you are building the Trumpeter Harrier then this
informative article is a must read. I love the look of this
Harrier and it's wearing markings from my favorite Harrier Squadron.
