Models have been along periodically since childhood.
While not Hasegawa's finest 1/48th jet, the A-7E can be built into a realistic looking model. The decals are the main theme of this Hellenic Air Force Special aircraft. I folded the wing to to make it look more dynamic and compact as the [...]
Copper State Models' 1/48 Hydravion is a challenging and work intensive build. Like CSM's 1/32 Caudron G.III the surface texture of plastic is excellent. However, the instructions are suggestive and you may require additional references to [...]

This innocent looking Diamond Wrecker is a wolf in a sheep skin. In general, cranes are difficult to build because of the intricate winch cable system. In this kit the inherent difficulty was further confounded by vague instructions and [...]
Having completed the Tamiya equivalent kit, I was left with a large decal sheet that motivated me to explore the potential of aircraft variants. Tamiya provides two major options for early and late Lightning. The main visible difference [...]
