1/350 Q Class Zeppelin

A surprisingly challenging project that I made more so by adding rigging. Very fiddly with extensive use of photo-etch. Definitely a skill builder, but now I have a Zeppelin in my WWI model collection.

1/43 Penske PC4

Formula Models kit. Represents car driven by Danny Ongais in 1977 Canadian GP. The kit offered a decal for the stripes on the spine, but they didn't fit, so I masked and painted them.

Albatros D.II

1/48 Eduard kit. I used a Black Dog detail set and Gaspatch guns. Tamiya Acrylic paints and Quinta Studios decal on the propeller.

Trumpeter kit with Aires cockpit, Wolfpack exhaust, Reskit/wheels tires, and Master Details pitot. Used Caracal decals for scheme and Fundekals for stencils. Tamiya Acrylic paints. A generally pleasant building experience with the [...]

1/72 Halifax B. Mk.III

Revell kit. Added Eduard "Zoom" set and used DK decals and Tamiya Acrylic paints. I also used mask sets for the clear parts (Eduard) and the camouflage (AML). A fairly straightforward and easy build with the exception of some [...]

1/48 Kosciusko Squadron Oeffag Albatros D.III

Eduard kit. I added a Quickboost seat and exhausts. Tamiya acrylic paints and Mike Grant decals for the unit insignia (all other markings painted). A very satisfying model building experience.

Dassault Super Mystere SMB.2

1/72 Special Hobby kit. Added Eduard "Zoom" set, Reskit wheels/tires, and Reskit exhaust, Hataka lacquer paints and kit decals. By far, the best Special Hobby kit that I have built in terms of fit and engineering.
