While I mostly model WW II aircraft, I will make any model that strikes my fancy.
I couldn't let my friend Dennis's 1/48 Tamiya armor kit go in answered. Here's my latest kit in quarter inch scale, the Tamiya Sd.Kfz.232. As Dennis has said numerous times, these kits go together fast with very little cleanup or [...]
This is the Academy 1/48 Bearcat. Apparently it is also the Hobbycraft Bearcat. I've read reviews that say the cowl is misshapen and the wheel well detail may be spurious among other issues. However, I found the kit to look fine to me [...]
My random award winner kit from iModeler arrived yesterday. Now, do I build it as a PR XIX or convert it to a mk. XIV?
Again, thank you iModeler for the recognition and the model!
When I saw the Eduard Spitfire Mk. IX my friend Dennis Meyers was in the process of making some months ago (which you can find here on iModeler), I knew I had to pull my Mk. VIII off the shelf and get started. Here is the result: the [...]
This is the Trumpeter F-100D in 1/72 scale. Completed model number six for the year. I started this one in March completing about 85% of the model when a few problems with kit frustrated me to the point of putting it aside. The misshapen [...]

Today I fire a 1/48 scale salvo at my good friend Dennis Meyers in our friendly model competition (I know he's working on the Eduard 1/48 Spitfire he received from imodeler). This is my fourth completed kit for 2016, the Airfix 1/48 Hawker [...]
Well, this wasn't a weekend build but, it was close! It took me four days to finish it. This Hobby Boss easy build kit was exactly that: an easy build. The parts count is very small and fit was excellent. I only needed a tiny bit of [...]
The iconic Spitfire is one of my three most favorite WW II aircraft, the others being the P-47 and P-51. Going all the way back to the old Hawk Models 1/72 Spitfire Mk. 22, 1/48 Monogram Mk. IX and Airfix 1/24 Mk. I, I’ve built at [...]
This is my version of the Airfix 1/72 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. For a good bit of history about the Whitley look up Tom Cleaver's article here on imodeler.
I found the kit to be an enjoyable build. Even though the fuselage is [...]
