Howdy,

I build almost anything that piques my interest. I build what I like, as I like.

1/48 Aurora Fokker D-VII

Built this one a while ago. Lozenge decals by America’s Gryphon. Checkerboard hand done on flat white with black India ink. The “Mimi” was drawn on white decal film. I rather like how it turned out. Brian Riedel

1/35 Tamiya M3A1 Stuart

Another oldie, not much extra added. Brian Riedel

1/48 Aurora SPAD XIII

An Aurora SPAD XIII’s, one being an original kit with decals by Aeromaster. Brian Riedel

Revell Lacrosse Missile Mobile Launcher

Howdy, Here’s my build of the 1958 Revell Lacrosse Missile Launcher. I fixed up the tilt and made most of the decals for the missile. The truck decals are from the Tamiya CCKW. Brian Riedel

Beep and Jeep

Howdy, Two builds from a few years ago. A mashup of an Italeri/ AFV Club WC51 and an Italeri Jeep with Bison decals. Also, the Tamiya SAS Jeep. Brian Riedel

I love the stable of Dodge trucks from World War Two! This is the 1/35 Italeri WC 54 Ambulance. I added the tool rack and a couple of jerrycans to make feel more complete. I still have four or five WC 51’s, an M6 (WC 55) and a WC 63 To [...]

1/48 Monogram P-47D (with extras!)

Things seem a little slow here at iModeler, so I’m reaching back into the past for an oldie but goodie. I present to you my 1/48 Monogram P-47D, with drop tanks, bombs and prop from the Academy kit. Decals by Superscale #48-624 for the [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51B “Ole II”

Here's my favorite Monogram kit of all time, the 1/48 P-51B. Over the years I must have built at least six of these (with another 5 in the stash). It is the original mold kit, not the Pro-Modeler re do that came later. It was built pretty [...]

1/72 Airfix P-47D

My just completed Airfix 1/72 P-47D. I spruced it up with a prop, bombs and shackles, drop tank, possibly the engine (I forget), bazookas and decals from Tamiya kits. True Details wheels and cockpit, as well as scratch built wheel wells. [...]
