Atilla Aydemir
Atilla Aydemir sent us this photo of his fantastic looking F-4E Phantom II of the Turkish Air Force in 1/48 scale. Look at that exhaust and the titanium plates behind it! The kit is from Hasegawa and Atilla added detail from an Eduard set, resin exhausts and a pitot tube from Master. He used an Iwata CMB airbrush to freehand the camouflage. Phabulous !
This is a 1/48 scale Hasegawa P-40E Warhawk with an impressive Longhorn nose art. Look at the weathering of the spinner and propeller blades and the photo-etched gun sight; looks really realistic ! Atilla used an Eduard cockpit set and Tamita acrylic paints.
One of the many countries that flew the F-84F Thunderstreak is Turkey, but you don’t see that many kits of it in these colours. Atilla makes it look easy! He added two ore external fuel tanks, painted silver to the standard configuration. This is a 1/48 scale Hobbyboss kit with decals coming from the kit, from Tan Model’s RF-84F and Techmod for the numbers.
A 1/72 scale F-14D Tomcat from Hobby Boss in the colours of the Bounty Hunters. A comfortable kit to build, it looks pretty good, even built out of the box!
Dragon released a few decades ago an entire range of long-nose Focke Wulfs in 1/48 and this is the TA-152C-1/R14 variant, which is armed with a Torpedo. I really like the subtle eathering and realistic painting in this one! For this build, Mr Hobby colours were used. The scheme is RLM 81/82 for the top and RLM 76 for the lower fuselage and underside.
Hasegawa’s 1/32 scale Focke Wulf A-8 is converted into a Rammjager. For this Black 14, Atilla used an Eduard cockpit set and scratched the canopy glass armour plate, fuselage armour and added the 30 mm guns in the wings. Again, Mr. Hobby acrylic paints were used; RLM 74/75/76.
