I mostly do 1/48 USN and British Commonwealth aircraft, all eras. I also have a weakness for WW1 German planes and 1/700 ships.
This is a Hobbycraft Scooter kit finished with Humbrol paints and Cutting Edge decals. I'm a big fan of the HC A-4s. A bit less detailed, but alot cheaper then Hasegawa Scooters. They also come complete with a large array of weapons.
This is a 1/48 Revell F/A-18E kit that I completed in November of 2012. I finished it with Humbrol enamels and CAM decals. The model depicts the CO's plane when detached to USS Ronald Reagan during her maiden journey from Norfolk to the [...]
