I am an avid builder of anything BIG...like a Gato sub, or a Type 9 u-boot, or aircraft in 1/32 scale! I mainly specialize in WW2 aircraft but Wingnut Wings have stolen my soul ( WW1 in the air was a passion of my dad's ). I still dabble in 1/48th and 1/72 subjects when the mood strikes though.
I've always been intrigued by the lines of this plane, sleek and muscular at the same time. While not used in great numbers due to the rapid pace of jet powerplant development it saw extensive use in the battle against communist forces in [...]

I'm from Ohio, born on Wright-Patterson AFB and on of my earliest memories is one of me at an Armed Forces Day airshow, sitting in the cockpit of an F-84 with a huge 50's style flight helmet plopped on my head, and not being able to see [...]
Here is the kit that got my on my large-scale building bing, the mighty Hasegawa 109G-6! I built this kit very soon after it came out back in 2002 and is still in my collection, along with 2 others I've built since. Yes the kit has a few [...]
Much has been written about the Me 262, and almost as much has been written about Trumpeter Models! Just about evrything I've read about the Big T's Me 262 have been positive, and after having built this kit I'll add my praise to the [...]
