Found great online phot archive dedicated to World War 2. It features airplane, vehicle, people, ship, event, etc. pictures. Some even in colour. Very interesting and worth digging it deeper. ;]

Inspiration works

Here're some inspiration works for your Tuesday morning:



Hasegawa P-47D 1/32 by Jerry:



Just love that stressed skin effect! Very inspiring!

First Hasegawa's 1/48 Biplane?

That's something really unusual and interesting - Hasegawa's first 1/48 biplane - MITSUBISHI F1M2 TYPE ZERO OBSERVATION SEAPLANE (PETE) MODEL 11 (WWII Japanese Navy). I can't recall any other biplane 1/48 scale item fron the mentioned Japanese manufacturer. Subject model looks really unusual and frankly speaking I would love to have it in my collection.


What is also odd - Hasegawa's also announced photoecth set for this item with the following subject covered in the set:

"Rigging wire, instrument panel, oilcooler mesh, reinforcement plate of main float and the fin of 60kg bomb etc…"

Here're more subject pics from Hobbybuy.com:
