The Collection - Models by Magnus :)!

Friends! Thanks a lot for your kind words! Regarding results and productivity: practice makes perfect. And also the very fact that I don’t bet everything on an 18-month wonderproject means that I can keep the speed up and risk a few dips in quality every now and then.

Speaking of which, here comes one of the dips :grin:


This is the Fine Molds Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4/Trop in the markings of North Africa ace Hans-Joachim Marseille. Go visit the build blog to read about the ups and downs of this build!

First one for 2023, a Special Hobby Bugatti 100 Racer!

Not the best kit that I’ve built but if you want a Bugatti you can’t be too picky, this is most likely the only game in town, at least in 1/72! Build blog is here!

Kind of a drawn-out process to get these two over the finish line:

Two Arma Hobby kits with a common theme, 101 year old US ace Bud Anderson:


His stateside P-39…


…and one of his famous “Old Crow”-Mustangs from Europe!

Another 2 great additions to the collection, Magnus! :slightly_smiling_face:

I believe this brings your tally for the year to 5: Way out in front of my effort, of, well, none. :sweat_smile:

Well, no aircraft that is, but I did finish Dauntless… Hopefully I will have some sort of wing thing finished before end of the year though (walks off in a cold sweat :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

Well done, Magnus! 2 lovely more additions to your 109 squadron. And you’re clearly ahead of me as I’m on holidays now, so no work on m bench till next week.

Greetings from Luxemburg! :luxembourg:
