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.

Hasegawa's old mold still produces an attractive looking Sabre without build complications.
A great kit by Meng. Although complex, the fit of parts is excellent and the detailing is exquisite. It is among the few military vehicles where the weathering patterns can be borrowed from civilian equivalents, thus no need to use [...]
This kit was also released by Revell and ProModeler. Its origins relate to Trimaster/Dragon models. Like other kits in the series, this model is highly detailed but has many fit problems that complicate the build.

The unique Zero Trainer is well depicted by Hasegawa. These aircraft had extensive yellow to orange color coverage over the lower surfaces and sometimes also the upper.
Accidents happen. These are the remains of a 20mm Flak gun on the platform of a Sd.Kfz. 7 half track. It was detached from the platform on route to the "photo studio." I have the habit of not gluing sub-assemblies that settle in [...]
