spectacular detailing, he then turned his exceptional talent to the
painting and weathering of this Hellenic beauty....wow...I love
every photos of this jewel.

Ermanno Bonafin
is here with his 1/48 Gallery Models UH-34D Marines as it

did a very fine job detailing his UH-34 before giving it a
beautifully shaded weathered look. Every area of this model

Mick has
been a long time member on the ARC forums and today I am pleased to
show you his first model in the ARC gallery section. This is
his 1/48 Academy F-14A Sundowners "Miss Molly" finished
to an excellent level. Mick is very modest in his
article....wait until you see the cockpit photos and his panel line
weathering looks fantastic. I hope to see more of Mick's
models on ARC in the future. Welcome to the ARC homepage
Mick...it's a beautiful Tomcat!!!

Paul Coppin
is here with the first Dornier Do-215 on ARC. This is his
1/48 Revell Do 215 B-5 finished in night fighter colors complete
with nose radar antennas. Paul used Eduard photos etch and
used a shading technique on his black upper wings to give them an
more engaging look. To really add some detail he removed one
of the engines covers to exposed a fully detailed engine. This
is a sharp looking model of this cool looking night fighter.
Beautifully done Paul.

starts today with the final addition to his Lippisch-fighter-projects
collection. This is his 1/72 Vami Models Lippisch P.01-116 (1939)
with added interior and exterior detailing and finished in an
early war test aircraft scheme. It is quite the stubby little
jet aircraft and a very interesting addition to ARC. Well done
Thomas.
|
|
|
|
|
Peter Kormos
did an outstanding job adding subtle weathering to his 1/48 Italeri P-40M.
Peter added detail to the cockpit and landing gear bays with a
variety of scratchbuilt parts and then added scratchbuilt gun
barrels and rivets to his P-40 before giving the exterior a wash and
weathering. I love the colourful Brazilian markings on this
flawless metal fighter. |

is here with a super detailed 1/700 USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71.
I was surprised this carrier was 1/700...the detail is more
suitable for 1/350. And yes there are Jolly Rogers Tomcats
launching with stream coming off the catapult and tiny deck crew and
so much more. And the water is very realistic. Enjoy all

Andrew Johnson
begins today with a beautiful airfield diorama of his 1/72 Airfix Matador refueller and Lancaster BII.
Andrew reworked his refueller to improve the detail in the cab
as well as the exterior. He then posed it next to his RAF
Lancaster on an airfield in England during WW2. It's great to
see his refueler and Lancaster on ARC. This is Andrew's 5th
article on ARC...well done Andrew.

P.B. is
here with his second model and this is one VERY cool 1/48 Italeri V-22 Osprey

Paulo Castro
usually builds 1/72, but today he is here with his outstanding
1/48 Airfix Spitfire MK XII. This is Paulo's 3rd model on
ARC and he built this gem out of the box and finished it with an
exceptional weathering job as you will see in his photos. I
love the engine oil stains on the underside of this Spitfire. |

Daniel Colombi
joins us today with his second model on ARC. This is his

was modified from a UH-1D by reworking the interior and cockpit
before the engine covers were opened to show off his scratch built
engine detail. The main rotor was scratchbuilt and it was
finished in custom made decals. This is one great looking Huey
and the photos show Daniel's highly skilled work. |

Scott Pasishnek
did a dynamite job on his 1/72 Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant Mk 1.
Scott enhanced the cockpit with foil seatbelts and added a
scratchbuilt pitot tube and antenna wire and landing lights before
turning his skills to applying a flawless camo paint job with a
gentle weathering job. His eye catching Defiant is displayed
on a grassy diorama base complete with wheel tracks. Beautiful
looking Defiant you built Scott.
