An F-15E from Academy, if you are watching my labeb below profile you would notice that I was working on this model. Here it is! I was working on this model almost 2 months, and I must say that I learned a LOT. You probably noticed that [...]

F-86D Sabre Dog Jet

I use to buy lots of airplane magazine, so when this red Sabre was printed, I just had to have a model of it. It's mostly o.o.b. except for some additions to the cockpit.

Now for Something Completely Different (at least for me) Hasegawa 1/48 Nate

I as a rule never build Japanese aircraft. Not because of any bias, but just because most of their subject matter doesn't interest me all that much. I built this though to have something to enter into the local Dragon Show. A show put [...]

More Spitfirepalooza

Here’s another oldie, the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk. 22/24. As many have commented, this was great kit for it’s time and I think it still holds up very well. The only failing for me with the version I bought was the decals. At the time [...]

I 16 type 24

This is a I 16 type 24 in 1/32 scale by ICM with Eduard’s photoetch for interior and exterior. This is a “no paint” version. I found some reference on line about the construction materials of the soviet airplane of this period. This [...]
