Had to have the single-seat Vampire fighter version and decided to try the new Xtrakit limited edition, produced by Hannants UK and manufactured by MPM in the Czech Republic. Nice details but parts fit could have been better, also I think there are some issues with fuselage and nose shapes when compared to the real thing, in this case the ex-Finnish Air Force VA-2 on display at <a href="http://ilmailumuseo.fi/en/" target="_blank">Finnish Aviation Museum, Vantaa</a>. The jet intakes were definitely wrong, tried to fix them with putty and hobby knife. Don't know about the real plane, but in plastic this Xtrakit Vampire has a serious tail-sitter tendency and there isn't much room for nose weights because of the cockpit parts and deep (but also accurate) wheelbay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The old Heller/Revell kits might have been more accurate shape-wise, but this is a modern kit however and not really that much more expensive. In theory this Xtrakit is a Mk. 5 when Finnish jets were the export version of Mk. 6, but I doubt that there are really any external differences in 1/72 scale. Update: there are some air compressor bulges near jet intakes with Mk. 6, but the intakes were modified anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Airbrushed with Vallejo Acrylic Metal Color 77.701 Aluminium, which turned out nice. Aftermarket Finnish roundels with various stash decals cut out and re-assembled. Update: the Finnish Vampires had original British stencils until later overhaul and repaints in Finland. So I changed to the "Keep off" decals as the Finnish "Älä astu" (=No step) version were applied late 1950's. Also the roundels were originally without the later black outline.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tried to keep an "old-skool" reference vibe here using just the real plane and "Suomen ilmavoimien lentokoneet 1939-72" book by Kalevi Keskinen, published by Tietoteos in 1975. Still, couldn't resist checking final facts with "de Havilland Vampire in Finnish Air Force" by Kyösti Partonen (publisher Apali, 2013, ISBN 978-952-5877-25-0), especially the nice photos taken in 1952 and 1953. I can really recommend Partonen's book if you want to build an accurate Finnish Vampire, the photos and information are excellent for scale modeling purposes</div>

Not a bad kit for a cottage industry example, it's just that the 1/72 is too fiddly a scale for such a small plane as Fouga CM 170. The old Heller kit with aftermarket decals looks almost the same but is easier to build, too bad that both kits suffer canopy fit problems. The Valom decal sheet is okay, Finnish AF roundel blue is a tad too light in my opinion but nevermind. I'm not a fan of either resin or photoetch but used some of the available parts and saved leftovers for future projects.<br />
<br />
Still I'm glad that I have another historic FiAF 1/72 jet ready in my collection, the original unrestored FM-71 is on display at <a href="https://www.ilmailumuseot.fi/museot/paijat-hameen-ilmailumuseo--paijanne-tavastia-aviation-museum" target="_blank">Päijänne-Tavastia Aviation Museum</a>, Vesivehmaa. Airbrushed <a href="https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/categoria/hobby/metal-color-en/" target="_blank">Vallejo Metal Color</a> 77.707 Chrome, smaller details with various Revell and Humbrol enamels. The book Fouga CM 170 Magister in Finnish Air Force by Jyrki Laukkanen (ISBN 978-952-5026-48-1, Apali 2005) was a good reference in addition to the real FM-71.<br />

Finnish Air Force trainer FM-71: built by Valmet, first flight Dec 3rd 1964 (Captain M. Tiiro / S. Valkeiskangas), entered service Jan 27th 1965, major overhaul Jan 4th - Dec 5th 1972, last flight June 30th 1983. Total flight time 3806 hours. Moved to Mini-Suomi at Ähtäri March 24th 1987, on display at Päijänne-Tavastia Aviation museum from 1994 onwards.<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">Built OOB from a Limited Edition Hasegawa 1/72 2-pack kit, except stash FiAF roundel decals (I think the kit roundels are a bit too large and wrong blue colour) & fuselage numbers (different plane reg) and a steel wire pitot tube. The hardest thing about building a Finnish/Swedish camouflage Draken is determining the scale colours matching the original Standard Flygvapnet "KFF 328 mörkt olivgrön" (=Dark Olive Green), "KFF 438 mörkblå" (Dark Blue) and "KFF 058 blågrå" (Blue Gray). These colours used to fade rather quick and some most weathered examples are more like green, turquoise (topside) and light green gray (undersides). <br />
<br />
I tried to approximate my colours according to a photo of the original DK-203 in 1990, also somewhat weathered already but still in a nice condition. I've seen a few unrestored Finnish Drakens in various museums, but still had to use my imagination with the colour photos of the original planes. Paints mixed were all <a href="https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/categoria/hobby/model-air-en/" target="_blank">Vallejo Model Air</a> airbrushed with Iwata HP-C, except Revell Enamel 99 Aluminum for the leading edges and <a href="https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/categoria/hobby/metal-color-en/" target="_blank">Vallejo Metal Color</a> 77.707 Chrome for unpainted metal fuselage part below.<br />

The Hasegawa 1/72 Draken was easy to build and looks nice when ready, some details are rather simplified but at least they are roughly in right places. I used only those stencil decals that were supposed to be especially visible in the real plane too, there are numerous details in a real Draken (like all the small panel screw safety paintings in yellow) that really don't look appropriate in 1/72nd scale in my opinion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Limited Edition kit is a must if you want to have the DK-215 Special Edition final flight paint scheme, otherwise the cheaper Revell boxing might be a better buy. Also the Saab 35 Draken in Finnish Air Force book by Jyrki Laukkanen (<a href="http://kuivalainen.mycashflow.fi/product/15481/saab-35-draken-in-finnish-air-force" target="_blank">ISBN 952-5026-55-8</a>) is an invaluable reference, especially if you don't have access to the real Finnish or Swedish planes. I like my Draken model, it looks the part and is a nice addition to my historical Finnish Air Force jets scale model collection.<br />

Well, here's a scale model that isn't too easy to have even nowadays: a Finnish Air Force MiG-21UM 'Mongol' 2-seat trainer in 1/72 scale. Bought my kit from <a href="http://modelsua.com/" target="_blank">ModelsUA</a> online and fortunately it was very cheap.</div>

The Condor kit is simple and crude, but in 1/72 scale there aren't many, if any options for an OOB builder. In some ways it looks like the original 'Mongols' I've seen in Finnish aviation museums and it's not totally off, but there are definitely issues with some dimensions and shapes overall. Maybe kitbashing a Zvezda MiG-21 BIS kit with some scratchbuilding would produce best results, but this Condor will have to do at least for awhile.</div>

Painted with an airbrush, camouflage brown and green colours mixed from Vallejo Model Air 71.002, 71.022, 71.105, 71.057 and 71.034 water acrylic paints, bottom light blue Revell Enamel 52 mixed with 04. Final clearcoat Revell Matt Enamel. Aftermarket decals from <a href="http://www.harraste.fi/siirtokuvia.html" target="_blank">Harraste Shop (Tampere, Finland)</a>.</div>

This model represents the MK-106 in its original 1982 Soviet Union delivery scheme before any later Finnish modifications or repaints. The real MiG-21UM MK-106 is stored at the Karelia Aviation Museum, Lappeenranta Finland. </div>

Another example of a scale model that's easy to acquire and build nowadays, the Finnish Air Force MiG-15 UTI jet trainer in 1/72 scale from an Eduard Weekend Edition #7433 kit. Very nice kit that really looks like the original plane, although it's hard to replicate the somewhat crude tool-like heavy duty utility feel in a scale model. Actually the Finnish MiG-15 trainers were Czech-built CS-102s but they were and are always referred as MiG-15s here.</div>

This is a scale model I've wanted to build for a long, long time. Before this Special Hobby #SH72137 kit building a Finnish Folland Gnat F.1 model wasn't always easy in 1/72 scale, especially for this photo reconnaissance version. The kit is really nice and true to the original plane, despite that the original plane and thus the model are quite small in size it's reasonably easy to build, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although not especially marketed or mentioned this Yugoslav/Finnish Air Force boxing has the optional photo reconnaissance parts included. Decals for the GN-112 were modified from kit decals and spare decal stash specials. Painted with Revell and Humbrol enamels, final clearcoat Revell Matt Enamel.</div>

This model represents the Finnish Air Force Folland Gnat F.1 GN-112 on display at the Päijänne-Tavastia Aviation Museum, Finland - like it once was when the paint job was new. The <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/32062315@N08/sets/72157683283751673" target="_blank">original Gnat is unrestored and only slightly weathered</a>, so it's quite easy to turn back time and imagine what the original British camouflage looked like back in the day.</div>

Bought this new-tool Airfix kit from the <a href="http://ilmailumuseo.fi/en/" target="_blank">Finnish Aviation Museum</a> while taking reference photos of the original Finnish Air Force de Havilland Vampire Trainer Mk.55 (VT-9) on display there. Another nice modern Airfix kit that builds well and looks the part. </div>

Bought this kit at a flea market sale really cheap, something like less than 2 euros. OOB camouflage and markings are fine but wanted to make an aluminium D-style bird instead. This model represents a <a href="http://www.118trs.com/" target="_blank">USAF 118th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron</a> North American P-51 B/C Mustang in China 1944 or 1945, <a href="https://get.google.com/albumarchive/112433283079510262319/album/AF1QipMhwy-nW4lIAGkd_t5nnkIWF0_ygbuZz3TZSfoT/AF1QipNpZVu579DpRoQtT6IsbinG4MDtXl9HCorSIhPN" target="_blank">found a nice reference photo of the original</a></div>

No other modifications than the fuselage camera opening and tail number decals from Hasegawa civil 1/200 airliner kit. Painted with Revell enamels, final clearcoat semigloss Johnson/Future floor wax. Nice kit, nice model.</div>

A snappy little Revell kit of the (in)famous Boeing P-26A Peashooter keeping with the Pearl Harbor theme, these planes were already obsolete at that time and used as training and hack aircraft. This model represents a U.S.Army P-26A of the 18th Pursuit Group at Hawaii in Dec. 1941, painted in olive drab (Revell matt #46) and light grey (Humbrol #127). Finished with Revell matt clearcoat #2.<br />

Scratchbuilt windshield (just couldn't use the original) but otherwise out-of-the-box with rivets and all, rigging done with fine fishing line. This kit had a copyright marking from the 80's but wouldn't be surprised if it was way older. Still, while not exactly accurate by today's standards it does sit in quite nicely with my other Airfix Pearl Harbor models!wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08110096055499498391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908103016203041268.post-85870034756028680342016-12-22T10:10:00.000-08:002016-12-22T10:10:28.958-08:00Airfix Akagi Pearl Harbor Trio: Zeke, Val and Kate<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The new Airfix Nakajima B5N2 'Kate' is a very nice kit and a delight to build. Out-of-the-box with some little exceptions like tailcode letter "A" decal from a Hasegawa 1:200 DC-9-40 kit and steel wire pitot tube. </div>

If the Tamiya 1/72 Zero was a really, really nice kit this Airfix new tool Zero is practically as fine but considerably cheaper. Especially when built with a closed canopy both kits look like they should. Of course Tamiya has the open cockpit option and details are little crisper and a bit more delicate, not to mention it's definitely easier to build, but all these features come with a price tag. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out-of-the-box except replaced pitot tube and tail number decal - because I wanted a Pearl Harbor one the AI-111 was obviously the easiest to make with cut-and-paste - so this model represents the Akagi fighter piloted by F1c Shinpei Sano of the second wave attack. </div>

Paint shades (same as my PH 'Val') and other decisions were made with the help of these websites:</div>

I saw three Japanese plane profiles in a high school history textbook and thought it would be nice a nice project for old and new Airfix 1/72 kits. So here's my interpretation of Aichi D3A1 Model 99 'Val' dive bomber in <a href="http://japanese-aviation.forumeiros.com/t29-33-pearl-harbor-raid-akagi-s-dive-bombers" target="_blank">Akagi Pearl Harbor hikotaicho</a> markings, the crew were PO1c Kiyoto Furuta (pilot) and Lt. Takehiko Chihaya (gunner/radioman). Mostly out-of-the-box except the lower two tail red stripes picked from my decal stash and original AI-201 black decal hand painted red. Nice kit otherwise with the usual exceptions of canopy and some parts fit. Yet it was cheap and fun even for a second-hand kit (just a couple of £'s GBP) and the Aichi D3A1 shapes are certainly there.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right after Soviet Air Force Lt. Belenko defected to Japan in 1976 there were MiG-25 scale model kits available too, and I recall I built one in 1/72nd scale at the end of 1970's. Later I thought it might be fun to have a Revell Foxbat model again, so picked up this in 1/144 scale this time. The kit is quite simple but captures the brutal style of MiG-25 very well. The motion-blur runway background is an A3-sized color print I made after real Hakodate runway dimensions and it should be at least roughly in 1/144 scale too. </div>

This Tamiya 1/72 Zero-Sen kit (60779-1400) is possibly the best scale model kit I've ever built: no putty, no problems, no fuss. And the final result sure looks like a Zero!<br />
Not only this model rounds up my anime-inspired 'The Wind Rises' Jiro Horikoshi project, but it nicely dovetails with my other models that were made after the photos and color profiles in the old "Aircraft in Profile" series. There is even a photo of the orignal 'Zeke' aircraft at Ohita Air Base, Japan on October 13th 1944!<br />Built out-of-the-box with kit decals, airbrushed Revell and Humbrol enamels. Turpentine umbra washes sealed with Revell matt varnish clearcoat.<br />

This is a model I've wanted to build for a long time, the Kurt Tank designed Focke Wulf Ta-152H. It looks like no other fighter plane with the sailplane-like wings. So it was a nice coincidence for Revell to re-release the old Frog kit of this subject. Built out-of-the-box except wing guns and leftover tail swastikas (which may not be the right kind & size for this particular plane, but didn't want to end up buying a whole sheet of these 'evil' markings...)<br />
<br />
Again an old kit that was really enjoyable to build and looks like a really nice Ta-152H to my eye when finished, even with those raised panel lines and all that stuff. There are slight washes to enhance these lines, the only details I sanded away were fictional circular details on wing undersides.<br />
<br />
At first I thought about doing the vintage Frog instructions camouflage and markings but I wonder if the RLM 74/75/76 scheme was really used as late as 1945 for the latest and finest Luftwaffe "Butcher Bird". It's certainly not impossible, but on the other hand there really was a Luftwaffe full orange-red painted Ta-152H like this model, with the possible inaccuracy of the actual color used, of course. <a href="http://www.coopersmodels.com/catalog/item/8893980/10053837.htm" target="_blank">Eagle Cals Decals</a> suggest FS21310 but I think Humbrol 100 works just fine.<br />
<br />
"Orange-Red Ta 152, a striking Ta 152 H flown by the Kommodore of JG 301
Obslt. Fritz Auffhammer on 22 March 1945 to the Luftwaffe proving ground
at Rechlin, Germany, returning this aircraft along with complaints of
construction problems and unfulfilled delivery dates. The purpose of ths
bright Orange-Red color was to prevent trigger-happy German flak
gunners from shooting down this unusual Luftwaffe fighter. On this
flight Auffhammer was escorted by Hptm. Roderich Cescotti who flew Fw
190 D-9 "Green 1". Recommended FS number 21310 for the Orange-Red color" (Coopersmodels.com)wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08110096055499498391noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908103016203041268.post-23757779835816344002015-08-02T07:34:00.001-07:002015-08-02T07:54:43.143-07:00Jiro Horikoshi Design II: IJN Mitsubishi Raiden 'Jack', Genzan Flying Group ケ-1107 (Ke-1107) 1/72 Nichimo<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

This is my 2nd Japanese anime-inspired old-school model of a plane designed by Jiro Horikoshi, Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, American name 'Jack'. This kit was a bit more difficult to build than the A5M4 Claude, parts fit was poor sometimes and the fuselage halves were warped out of alignment too. That's why I had to augment this kit with scratch-built items like a new tailwheel and guns, although tried to follow the out-of-the-box principle as long as possible. Original decals - coated with Micro Decal Film - were used, except the yellow leading edge stripes. These decals needed a very long soaking time in water before the backing glue let go. The three-part canopy was hazy and ill-fitting to the fuselage, so that's why this kit is perhaps more suited for a collector's item. The finished model isn't too bad overall, but obviously modern kits are preferable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yes, I've no idea what the real historical Ke-1107 Raiden looked like, but for this project the box art was quite adequate source for decal placement information. Here is another, perhaps more accurate <a href="http://arawasi-wildeagles.blogspot.fi/2012/05/shizuoka-4-ijnaf.html" target="_blank">Nichimo Raiden</a> model in the Arawesi-Wild Eagles blog.

<i><b>The Wind Rises</b></i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(Japanese: <span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">風立ちぬ</span> Hepburn: <i>Kaze Tachinu</i><sup class="t_nihongo_help noprint"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Help:Installing Japanese character sets"><span class="t_nihongo_icon" style="color: #0000ee; font: bold 80% sans-serif; padding: 0 .1em; text-decoration: none;"></span></a></sup>)</span> is a 2013 Japanese animated historical drama film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Studio Ghibli. <i>The Wind Rises</i> is a fictionalized biopic of Jiro Horikoshi (1903–1982), designer of the Mitsubishi A5M fighter aircraft and its successor, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, used by the Empire of Japan during World War II. The film is adapted from Miyazaki's manga of the same name, which was in turn loosely based on the 1937 short story <i>The Wind Has Risen</i> by Tatsuo Hori. (Wikipedia).</div>

This Nichimo vintage (Copyright 1964 Nihonmokei Co., Ltd) Claude model was built out-of-the-box with original decals, using just the box art as a reference because the 2nd hand kit had no instruction leaflet. I have serious doubts about the historical accuracy of my model but still like the results of this Japanese anime-inspired old-school project very much. There are Nichimo Raiden 'Jack' and Tamiya Zero 'Zeke' kits already in the stash for further planes designed by Jiro Horikoshi.<br />
<br />
There's a nice Nichimo 1/72 Claude in <a href="http://www.harrowmodellingsociety.co.uk/picsjapanese.htm" target="_blank">Harrow Modelling Society's Japanese Gallery</a> by Jonathan Burns, which I think is more like museum-quality and periodically correct.<br />
