Models have been along periodically since childhood.

Revell 1/72 Shackleton MR.3

Revell's Shackleton MR.3 is based on the 1967 mold from Frog. A genuine oldie that still shines. It has raised panel panel lines and rivets. Homogeneous painting with sparse weathering will blend the rivets into the panels to create a [...]

Revell 1/72 Focke Wulf Fw 200 C-8

The mighty German sea prowler is well depicted by Revell's offering. The aircraft had a fair share accidents typically with broke spines and main land gear collapses. Nonetheless, the model holds its ground. After more than 15 years in [...]

Revell 1/32 Alouette II

Revell's oldie Alouette is a basic kit but still, a complex build. I added many scratch made parts such as pipes, wires and rods to enhance the look of the engine and rotor mechanism.

Desert Liberators: 1/48th and 1/72nd scale B-24D compared

Monogram's Liberator was built as a restoration challenge of a bargain kit that missed most of the transparent parts and others. In particular interest was forming the nose glass section. I borrowed from a friend the transparent tree [...]

Rabaul Zero: Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Type 22

Field applied green camouflage on naval zeros in Rabaul is a source of diversity and a challenging painting style.

Academy 1/48 F-4J Phantom II

Academy's 1/48 Phantoms represent a good balance between accuracy, details and price. In addition the kit offers a wide range of armament options. The only thing the builder has to cope with are multi colored sprues.

Two Monogram 1/48 Heinkel He-111H variants

The H variant was the most produced Heinkel He-111 aircraft and a diversified service carrier. The night and torpedo variants are themes in Monogram's He-111 series. As a later Monogram model, it has recessed panel lines and is well [...]

Fifty years of service in the IDF: Monogram 1/48 C-47/DC-3

Three camouflage schemes characterize much of the Dakota (also in Hebrew) appearance in its long service since the War of Independence. The blue and brown scheme was introduced in the mid 50s. It was replaced by the multicolored version by [...]

Wilde Sau Wurgers: Eduard 1/48 Fw 190A-6 and 8

The innovative development of the first German airborne radar on is a source for modelers to demonstrate different FuG antennae arrays. I used two Eduard A-8 kits to represent the initial and final Neptun radar antenna arrays on the [...]

G.W.H. 1/48 F-15B "Baz" IDF

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 [...]
