Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
My ICM 1/48 B-26 Marauder kit is finally here. It should have been delivered back on 16 April 2024 but the glorious USPS took 8 days to deliver it the last thirty miles. And as I gleefully accepted it from my postal carrier find a corner [...]
The origins of the B-58 can be traced back in 1949, when the Air Research and Development Command (ARDC) issued the Generalized Bomber Study (GEBO II), calling for the development of a long range supersonic bomber.
Convair’s initial [...]
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 [...]

It's been a very slow start to my modelling year. My own fault as I rarely give in when confronted with a difficult model. My Cougar falls into this category: one of my favourite aircraft, but not the easiest build as far as I am [...]
AFV Club's first foray into aviation topics results with a vary nice kit. Their Freedom Fighter is a detailed kit that builds into a seemly accurate depiction of the aircraft. The engraved panel lines are somewhat schematic, but the fit of [...]
I've always wanted to build a set of 1941-42 IJN carrier airplanes, and picked up a complete set of Hasegawa kits last summer. This is the first to make it to the workbench, a A6M2b that appears to be a 1993 issue. It is finished as Lt. [...]
I got this one as part of my Birthday present last year along with a Bunny Club Membership.
Of course this one had to be an FAA subject.
The colours should probably be the equivalent ones but I don't have them so standard TSS it was and to [...]
