Building the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.XII in 1/32 Scale
In this 301-page eBook, Gary Boxall builds the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.XII kit in 1/32 scale, modifying it to represent an unarmed post-war Belgian aircraft. Gary offers plenty of tips for detailing, modifying, and improving the kit to produce a high-quality scale replica. Additionally, Mike Butler provides a detailed tutorial on how he painted the pilot figure featured on the cover, whom he has playfully dubbed “Henk”. We’ve also included our usual Appendices section, covering available aftermarket and reference material. Note: all our prices are in Australian dollars.

I knew I wasn't really that close with the wing-to-fuselage join on the Welsh 777, so I've focussed on getting a strong bond, rather than a clean one. I've reinforced both joins all the way around with black CA, and cleaned up the excess with cotton buds and debonder.

I've put together a quick'n'dirty grass mat base for the Trumpeter Emil. This is really just to prevent the undercarriage from splaying over time - and eventually collapsing altogether. And like the rest of the build, is deliberately low-effort!

And with that, the Trumpeter 1/32 Bf 109E-4 in Bulgarian markings is done. My first completion for 2026, and quite possibly my best so far. Very pleased with how well it turned out for such a low-effort build. ResKit exhausts, Barracuda wheels, and a minor prop mod.

Something as simple as a slightly grubby panel line wash can really bring a model to life. For the upper surfaces, I used Tamiya's "Dark Brown" product, which is terrific. For the blue lower surfaces, I went with a certain Spanish product that was far less terrific.

I've finally been able to move on to the painting stage with the Trumpeter Emil. The canopy was masked up using Bare Metal Foil, then the frames painted in RLM 02, followed by black to provide some additional colour density. The RLM 04 is SMS. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Even more work on the Trumpeter Emil! I painted the gun troughs and surrounding area on the cowling in RLM04 to avoid an impossible masking situation later, and then installed it onto the fuselage. I also found a resin cockpit hatch out of an old True Details set, and slapped it on. #scalemodels
