Mk.18 Mod 0 CQBR
I needed a break from a number of more involved projects I was working on, so I decided to slap some paint on something I had never built before: a 1/3 scale firearm, in this case the Mk.18 Mod 0 CQBR by Trumpeter.
Quick and fun build, fun [...]
Review: Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1 Devastator
From the beginning of carrier aviation, the torpedo had been seen as the best weapon for aircraft to use against warships, given the light explosive weight and inaccurate aiming of aerial bombs. Due to the technology of the torpedo itself [...]
Trumpeter F9F-3 Panther
I recently completed Trumpeter's F9F-3 Panther for a Korean War group build. The kit was built out of the box. No add on accessories. The fit was not too bad. There were a couple seams that needed addressed. Just another day at the bench, [...]
Build update on 6 1/32 scale AV8BII Harriers commission build for the USMC Blacksheeps
Whew! This is a hell of a project, one that can drive you nuts, especially if the kit is sub par.
The way I am tackling it is by doing each section completely for one aircraft and I figure out any issues during assembly of that step. Once [...]
Trumpeter F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter 1/32
Hellcat, everybody loves it, everybody has one so... I got me one. I saw many examples of this extraordinary fighter plane and many with the fuselage open to see the interior and I was encouraged to do it this way.
I decided to work on the [...]
It's here!! Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1
The beeg box from Squadron landed on the front porch here at Le Chateau du Chat an hour ago.
Preliminary observation: I was right that it is based on the Great Wall Hobby kit. That's good news. Other than everything is big, nothing looks [...]

Hello everyone. I'm back after a while for this new model. Again it is a Corsair but with markings and paint used by the British in the Pacific theater.
The original kit is from Trumpeter which comes with good details and gave almost no [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 Vigilante RA-5C
Trumpeter's Vigilante was never on my list due to reports on shape and fit issues related to the kit. Nonetheless, I received this model from a friend and promptly built it.
In spite of the bad reputation, it builds to an impressive [...]
Review: At last, a large scale TBD – Trumpeter 1/32 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator
"Mythical", according to Merriam-Webster, is defined as :existing only in the imagination: fictitious, imaginary. Well, for how many years now has a Trumpeter 1/32 scale TBD Devastator been dangled in front of the modeling [...]
AV8BII Harrier 1/32 scale build x 6 update.
Hi All,
A quick update on the 6 Harriers that I am building for the USMC Blacksheep Squadron for the 80th Anniversary.
I am now onto the engines, I completed one as a test so the other 5 would go smoothly and this approach seems to work [...]
