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.
My choice of Tamiya's best 1/48th ever produced.
PE set was used as a guide to fashion a new wire set. I found that both flat and round profile bracing wires were used in production aircraft.
Slats were cut and extended like seen on parked [...]
Although not the definitive model representing the Bf-109G-6, Revell's Messerschmitt is a good representation of the aircraft at the 1/32nd scale. The build is not complicated and the end result looks much like the real aircraft.
I used [...]
In its short debut in the modelling world, Accurate Miniatures left a lasing mark in terms of well designed model aircraft. One of these is the F3F-2 biplane. A fond build and a shining gem in the display area.

In the end, [...]
Two of Tamiya's newer tooling A6M5 that I built. The kit is more detailed the initial tooling and still is easy to build. Unfortunately, this is the only new tool variant. Eduard then, would be the natural choice to cover highly detailed [...]
The Hasegawa 1/48th Phantom variants are excellent platforms to explore the diversity of camouflage schemes of the magnificent aircraft. Here, I used DXM's decal sheet to depict a (probable) early F-4E serving in the Iranian Air Force. [...]
Tamiya's 1/32 is a top-notch design and surface detail kit. A significant part of why I consider this kit the best ever propeller aircraft model made relates to its size and historic background. With the petite surface details and larger [...]
