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.
One of Revell's Luftwaffe giants. Unlike Revell's previous Ju-88A-1, the A-4 with the longer wing span and overall more familiar features makes a better impression. However, the building process is marred by the crude parts resulting with [...]
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 [...]
Revell's new boxing was a good opportunity to explore the build of the venerable Atlantic. It is a solid old school build with thick and strong plastic and seam lines to fill. Yet, thanks to the low number of parts it is a quick build that [...]

In spite of the bad reputation, it builds to an impressive [...]
The venerable Hasegawa F-16A kit is an excellent platform to depict IDF's Netz (Hawk.) All you need to do is to add an appropriate decal sheet (Isradecal in this case) and a resin ACES II ejection seat. The visible cockpit area craves for [...]
Over the years the M48A and its successor the 60A has undergone extensive modifications in the IDF service. "Magach" stands for battering-ram.
Magach variants are among my favorite AFV models. Without effort, when completed the [...]
ProModeler's F-4E is a re-boxing of Hasegawa's Phantom. It is an early F-4E model without the slats. Although painted in the SEA scheme it appears that the aircraft never left the US although it has a MIG kill marking. My guess is that the [...]
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 [...]
