Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
I want to share my excitement from this great hobby with the images presented here.
Kinetic's F-16I kit, the advanced Falcon version dedicated for the requirements of the IDF, comes with a complete IDF dedicated accessories and decals. I added resin ejection seats to enhance the realism of the open cockpit. The build [...]
Another adorable model by ProModeler. It was criticized for panel shape in the tail unit and some fit issues. Yet, overall it makes an eye catching representation of the fighter that did not materialize the expectations.
I added Aires set [...]
A very nice model by Hasegawa. Cockpit and ejection seats by Aires. The Belgian Air Force Starfighters had Lockheed C2 ejection seats with a cradle-like harness, which is well depicted by Aires.
Unfortunately, in this particular model, the [...]
An old Academy mold kit that became synonym with KMC resin set to correct the shape of the nose, rudder and spinner.
Two kits are presented here. Yet, I had only one KMC set. The Bubble Canopy PR Griffon Spitfire was scratch made using [...]

A great aircraft and a very good kit. The only problem that I had with construction was the fuselage halves seam that was not easy to fix. The decals did not preform well and needed additional solvents to settle in place.
Hasegawa's big Hayate is a good candidate for model detailing. It is an excellent kit with finely recessed and raised surface details. The fit of parts is very good, and the parts count is relatively low. It is only the engine cowling [...]
The wooden flying wing that was on the final stages of development towards the end of WWII. The single seat flying wings reached the stage of prototype trials, but the night fighter two seat version did not complete the design [...]
The iconic American Half Track is well represented in Dragon's M3 variants. It was extensively modified, well produced and lasted for decades in the service of armies of many countries.
The model is highly detailed and fiddly in places, [...]
One of the best Airfix models I built. Although it has some fit issues, the model is an excellent representation of the Cold War fighter.
