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.
At some stage during their long service in the IDF, the F-15s showed heavy signs of weathering. I believe that now, the surviving airframes are immaculate if not almost entirely revised.
GWHs 1/48 model is very good and was also revised [...]
Sometimes, size does not matter. Revell's 1/72 is a gem kit that provides a solid build with ample details for its small scale. And, it does not take much space. What else can you ask for?

The venerable Hasegawa kit is the workhorse for another unique scheme of the Phabolous Phantom. This time, a reconnaissance version in the Iranian Air Force Service.
As a kid, the 1/72nd Airfix Defiant was a favorite model. Of all the models that I had, it was the closest to the aircraft represented. Plastic mold was black (and so was the pilot.) The years went by and I started painting the built [...]

Although not an easy build, Hasegawa's kit is still a very convincing Tomcat.
My favorite Trumpeter aircraft kit. Not only that Tamiya's 1/48th design was adopted, but also surface detail was enhanced. In addition, flying surfaces are separate and the slats can be extended.
