The
July 2009 issue of
FineScale Modeler
features a portfolio of Canadian Brian Birk's contest-winning models. Exclusive to our Web site, here are more of Brian's awesome aircraft.
Colorful Greek air force livery inspired Brian to build Hasegawa's 1/48 scale F-104G.
Brian has a strong affection for CF-104 Starfighters. He finished Hasegawa's 1/72 scale kit as the first Canadian Starfighter delivered to Europe.
Brian built Academy's 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk.XIVe with a five-blade prop.
Brian worked on Revell's 1/32 scale Tornado off and on for five years, grappling with the difficult four-piece fuselage. He installed TAC Scale Dynamics resin seats and livened it up with paint and markings for the Royal Saudi air force.
Even in 1/72 scale, this Royal Australian Air Force F-111G is huge. Brian built the Hasegawa model.
Brian says Eduard's 1/48 scale Mirage III is simply a great kit. He built it out of the box and dressed it in Israeli insignia.
To see a lot more of Brian's models, check out the July issue, on sale on U.S. newsstands the first week of June.
Watch a
video preview
of the July issue.
