Interesting kits- what scale :)

they are 1/144.
made in resin from wooden masters by me.
I originally did the decals as inkjet ones but have since found a local source of ALPS decals (can print white).

PS: anyone else into 1/144?

1/144 scratch built  :-eek This is great  :-clap  :-ok I work only 1/72 and 1/48 but long time ago I have several Revell model in 1/144 scale. That was Tempest, Bf109E, Ju87, Thunderbolt. All of them was given as gift to my friends who are not modelers but like how this kits look like ;)

1/144  :-eek  :-obey
This is a great job you are doing,but perhaps you should think about painting with Airbrush and applying some gloss/mat coats.
Kit's look great,decals too excellent work  :-clap

Samuraj77,
I need to practise with the cheap airbrush I have!! AND yes only the Kingfisher has a Satin coat on it the others need a final protective matt layer. I have redone the decals a number of times to get them right and so these have had a few put on and taken off!
