Klaasjan Schuuring
has created a very re4alistic looking Desert
Jaguar. This is his 1/48 Kitty Hawk Sepecat Jaguar painted
and weathering in desert pink with a weapons load and some great
looking noseart. This brings back
memories of the jets used in the Gulf War 30 years ago.
Beautiful work Klaasjan. |

Carl Jarosz starts
your update with his stunning 1/48 Hasegawa F-18A++ Hornet
wearing VFA-115 "Silver Eagles" markings that include Old
Glory artwork on the tail that is very well done and shows the flag
waving in the wind. This is a great looking Hornet as is
always the case with Carl's builds, but the tailart really makes
this F-18 stand out and look fantastic. |

Tolga Ülgür is
here with a very special 1/32 Hasegawa Spitfire Mk.1a "N3200 Dunkirk"

After 50 years this spitfire was dug out of the beach sand and
restored to flying status. Tolga added plenty of aftermarket
detail items to finished his Spitfire to a very high standard.
His paint work and weathering is flawless. |
