P-35 & its relation to te RE 2000

This was a nice little build from Special Hobby and it seemed appropriate after the RE 2000. These two airframes share a lot in common Steve

1/72 Italeri RE. 2000

This is decent little kit if a bit basic. I added some details [cockpit area] from a spare SH kit I had lying about. OTherwise pretty much OOB. I used the kit decals-pretty good and I employed the very nice MRP Reggnia Aeronautica [...]

1/72 ICM OV-10D

This is my IPMS review of the ICM 1/72 OV-10D Gulf War version. This was a nice build but you can read my particulars at the IPMS USA Review: (link) IT is nicely detailed but has few things to watch out for; nose weight to avoid tail [...]

1/72 OV-10A Bronco 'Vietnam'

I was working on this simultaneously while working on the Brazilian Skyhawk. This one will be interesting to compare to the 1/72 ICM kit which I am currently reviewing right now in a build for IPMS USA...albeit I am building the OV-10D [...]

1/48 F-100D Trumpy

This is a Trumpeter 1/48 F-100D I built a while back. I added a few items but built it mostly stock.

1/24 Ripley from Original Alien film

A resin printed 1/24 figure of Ripley from the original Alien film scratch-built base. Figure is well printed but does need some sanding to get a smooth surface. Facial features a bit muddled NOT exactly looking like Sigourney Weaver.

1/35 French R35 Light Tank

The Very nice Tamiya [ill-fated] Light French R35 Tank...Not a bad tank if used correctly. A match for the Panzer I and II's no doubt...if used in conjunction with communication and mutual support? Now everyone tells me the popularity of [...]
