Spitfirepalooza Continues!
Another model completed during the Great Hunkering Down, the Eduard 1/72 Spitfire Mk. VIII. This is my first 1/72 Eduard Spit and as has been said by many before, these kits are great! I will definitely do more.
While I mostly model WW II aircraft, I will make any model that strikes my fancy.
Monogram F4b-4
My recently completed Monogram F4b-4 with Mark’s Models and Toys EZ Rigging, decals, and resin cockpit.
Had to use Those Extra Decals
So here’s how my thinking went on this one: I have the Azur Vautour IIN in the stash and I want to do the “blue and sand” Israeli version. But, I wanted to test those colors out first. One of the marking choices in the Eduard Spitfire mk. IX is [...]
PZL 11c
I picked this kit up a few weeks ago from a vendor table at a recent contest. It’s the old Heller 1/72 PZL 11c. This is a basic but nice kit. I added some framing in the cockpit, seatbelts, landing strut bracing wire and antenna wires. The marki[...]
8th Hussar
Another of my old figures. This one was kindly offered to me by Ron Souza to review for Historical Miniature Magazine, this is Mili-Men King’s Shilling 120 mm 8th Hussar painted in oils. I scratch built the background.
There Was a Time…
In the 90’s when all of my modeling was figures. This is a figure from that period. Ron Souza sent this to me to write up a review for his Historical Miniature Magazine. It’s been so long I can’t remember the manufacturer and my old mags are too[...]
I’ll Call it a Flat
In the summer of 1968 we took a family vacation trip to visit my grandparents in Minnesota and Montana. Along the way we played the Shell Presidents Coin game. Eventually the coins, or more accurately medallions, were tossed out. Thirty years la[...]
“Give me night, or give me Blücher!”
My version of David Grieve’s 1/9 scale Blücher. Painted in oils.
Airfix Vampire
From a few years ago here’s my 1/72 Airfix De Havilland Vampire T. 11. At the time I made this one I had done a couple of the “new Airfix” kits and was very much enjoying them. I picked this one up as an impulse buy and found it to be another en[...]
Swift
And another one of my older kits to archive, here’s my 1/72 Airfix Supermarine Swift FR 5 from about 5 years ago. When I was a “littler” kid in the late 60’s I made several of the old Hawk Models Swifts. Those were always fun kits to make but, [...]
