This is my PREVIEW of the IPMS USA review of the ClearProp F-86A. A decent kit with some 'Caveats' but it is nice to see the early version kit in 1/48 ...and soon in 1/72! Bravo CleaProp.
Here is the link to my more Extensive IPMS USA [...]
I got this one on Ebay a while back. IT is a 3D print...decent quality by Ebay seller: xi-7491. I think it is an original If anyone know different please let me know. overall rather simple kit with little clean up.
I mounted her on a base [...]
This is an older one I did about 15 years ago. 1/700 Tamiya Mikuma & 1/700 Pit-Road Asashio with some etched brass to jazz them up. A battle scene of what the fate of the Mikuma was...

I posted this one on Britmodleller but want to share here too.
I employed the Quinta cockpit decal set, Pavla resin seats, Reskit rocket pods & Xtradecals sheet for an early 1966 HMS Triumph bird. It is painted with Gunze paints [...]

This is the Platz 1/144 P-51D. This continues to add to my 1/144 collection. These Platz kits [1/144 P-47, A-4 Skyhawk & F-8 Crusader] are very nice and make into great little displays.

A decent kit with nice modern tooling over the older Monogram kit. IT is NOT w/o its faults. The fuselage halves fit are a bit tricky esp. if one wants to [...]
I built this a while back for a customer. IT is a 1/25 MPC Chrysler 1932.
THE paint was a custom color from MCW and it was clear coated with Tamiya. Otherwise pretty much built from box. Decent kit but needs to treated like limited [...]
