EoJ Group: All Black 1/48 Hasegawa Ki-44-II Shoki

I built this kit for the Empire of Japan Group. I had discovered some diagrams of a Shoki with an all-black paint job. Although the prospect of an all-black plane was daunting, I decided I would give it a try. There are no photos of [...]

Revell 1/48 pv-1 ventura

Quick review here. My father trained bomber pilots during WWII in Beaufort, S.C. I asked him why the noses on his PV-1s looked different. He explained the radar units were in short supply and couldn't be wasted on training aircraft. So [...]

"Jinx 13" P-40K 25th FS, 51st. FG, Assam Valley India 1944, Vista 1/72.

I've been wanting to do this scheme ever since i saw it Squadrons P-40 In Action book. Awhile back there was debates going on whether it was an accurate scheme or not, the general thought was that it was not and that it was probably in the [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon Ib Starter Kit

Hi there, This one has been sitting in the pile for well over a year and as I was contemplating surgery for the Buccaneer I thought I could build this one for Innis to see if I was capable of cutting out some plastic without it looking too [...]

1/48 Tamiya A6M5c Zeke

This is an old Tamiya kit that I made about 3 years ago when I first started modeling. I thought I'd throw it up here to go with my other two Japanese airplanes. It's not 100% accurate or my best build but I had fun making it. It was [...]

MY BIG B-24J LIBERATOR IN 1/144TH SCALE

Ten year's ago this month I built this big beautiful bomber. The kit had the "Yellow and Green" wing decals but I painted them on which eliminate any silvering that the decals would give off. I have used ordinary masking tape [...]
