Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Another Heller kit from their musée series, built OOB and painted with Humbrol enamels according to the kit manual (Humbrol 76 army green), little Dewoitine in the last picture is one more Heller kit built some time ago, just for [...]
Finally got to finish this one. It’s the 1/32 Starfighter from Italeri. I build it in the Belgian Air Force color scheme with decals from Daco.
This FX65 was in service from 1964 and decommissioned in 1987. It was part of the 10th wing [...]
This is the Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as John C. Meyer's "Petie 2nd".
Typical of Tamiya, easy assembly and a nice fit. The only weak points are the wheel well not going back to the spar, and a prop that is too wide and [...]

This is the early ICM (Tamiya knockoff) 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as "Miss Marilyn II".
As an early ICM kit, there were a number of challenges, HUGE sink marks, short shots, incorrect detail parts copied from other kits, and a [...]
In 1981, the US Air Force initiated the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program to seek a next-generation fighter to replace the F-15 and better compete with the Russian SU-27 and MiG-29. Requirements included low observability, short [...]
Here is one of two B25's used briefly at the start of the Biafra War of 1967-1970. Scale 1:72. This is the old Italeri kit modified and panel lines engraved. Weathering kept to a minimum as these things were not in use for long.
