Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I
Folded winged Swordfish is an added construction challenge. Wings dropped from the tail support in the midst of the photography session to show the delicacy of the configuration.
Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
Miniart 1/48 P-47D Bubbletop: And how it compares with Tamiya's
Miniart's P 47D is a very good kit. It is highly detailed and has a complete textured riveting array that represents the real deal. However, parts are very delicate and the plastic is soft. This results in an added building effort in [...]

Four models of the magnificent Tempest fighter. The build is complicated. Yet, the details and surface textures compensate for the additional build effort.

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 B-25G Mitchell
The gem with some work done on the engine cowls.
Hasegawa 1/48 F1M2 Type Zero Observation Seaplane (Pete)
My favorite Hasegawa kit.
Special Hobby 1/48 SMB-2 Super Mystère IDF
The Sa'ar (Storm) was an Israeli development of the French SMB-2 through the instalment of a J-52 engine instead of the original Atar engine. The upgrade led to improvements in load capacity and range.
Special Hobby's Sa'ar is a highly [...]
Accurate Miniatures F6B Tac Recce Mustang
Although not quite a gem as I initially perceived (read TC's comment), Accurate Miniature's recce Mustang is a nice build. Removal effects of the invasion stripes are the focal point of the model.
