A-26c Jersey Bounce question. Please advise

I've been working on Monograms 1/48 a-26c for some time now and need some advice on decals. About half of the sources I've seen (mainly decal sets) have the nacelles black with the underside wings black as well. The other half have only [...]

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. I was deeply inspired by the aircraft during a visit in the Champlin Collection. At that time, the restored aircraft was presented with the first restoration effort consisting of a [...]

HobbyBoss USS Miami SSN-755

The Los Angeles class are nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) currently in service with the U.S. Navy. Making up over half of the Navy's fast attack submarine fleet, the Los Angeles class is the most numerous in the world. [...]

Revell 1/48 P40 B Flying Tiger

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]

The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.

1/72 HELLER DC-6B

I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]

Junkers Ju 290 A-5 "Seeadler"

Here’s my build of the Revell Ju-290 A-5 in 1:72. Not my scale, but I have quite a few subjects in 1:72 (or smaller) that interest me. I picked up this big beast at the local hobby shop on impulse a couple of years ago and finally got [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat

During the 60s, the USN sought a long range high performance interceptor to defend its fleet. For this Fleet Air Defense (FAD) aircraft and in favor of versatility, the Navy was directed by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara to [...]
