Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A few years ago I came across some P-47 decal sheets that had some nose art I really liked.
Inspired by my daughter , Erin’s , interest in wolves, I built the one with the wolf first.
Recently I completed “Dallas Blonde”.
Both [...]
I wanted to add MiG-23 to my 1/48 collection for a while. Been aiming for Trumpeter but I found Italeri kit for a cheap price. It's not very detailed kit but it gave me much less headache than other Italeri kits I trashed away. Anyway, [...]
Westland built D.H.9 B7620
J A Gray & J J Comerford, A Flight, 211 Sqn.
27th June 1918 shortly before being brought down in a Dutch field after being hit by flak

Completed in 2020. Though I've started half-a-dozen or so aircraft models over the decades, this is the first one I've ever finished. The kit has some serious faults. Even the plastic it's made of is a problem. (It splits and cracks under [...]
As fascinating as the Bf 108 Taifun is as an aircraft, the motivation to build this model this time clearly came from the paint scheme. As soon as I saw this special Taifun, I knew which of the five marking variants of the Eduard Profipack [...]
I was recently reading about the hunt for the battleship Bismarck during WW2, and came across an interesting connection between this plane and the final demise of the warship. The Martin Maryland was never used by the USAAF, but was sold [...]
This build have been a WIP for nearly 9 months, going back and forth between the workbench and a storagebox. I had an idea to build a superdetailed SHAR with a lots of aftermarket, 3d printed parts and scratchbuilding. But due to poor [...]
