Saved by the Bell, 1/72nd Bf109E-3 Airfix A02062

I bought a kit on FB/Marketplace with a porch pickup, having to ring the bell after leaving the agreed payment in the mailbox. I left the payment, rang the doorbell and started walking back to my car. The seller then came out and added [...]

Bodney Blue Nose

Bought back around '91 and been with me ever since. This is an original issue Hasegawa 1:48 P-51D which I started just two-and-a-half weeks ago as a side-build to my Tamiya 1:48 F-14. Also served as a test-bed for new (to me) metallic [...]

Richard Bong P 38

This is a famous plane and a well known model kit- Tamiya’s 1/48 late model P 38. I built this for a friend and mailed it to him yesterday. I hope I did it justice. Kit goes together very well except for the fit of the three piece [...]

Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 / France, 1940

A few months ago i read an interesting article regarding the german breakthrough at Sedan in 1940 and how the myth of the weak resistance of the allied forces was created. I think it's fascinating how a series of small strategic mistakes [...]

R. V. Resin 1/48 Focke wulf Ta-152C

The only complete kit in 1/48th scale by R.V. Resin. Highly detailed and multi media with resin parts. Construction is not complicated and the model is heavy.

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I

Folded winged Swordfish is an added construction challenge. Wings dropped from the tail support in the midst of the photography session to show the delicacy of the configuration.

My recently completed 1/48 Tamiya P-47D-22 in the markings of Button Nose/Stalag Luft III from the USAAF 56th Fighter Group.

Sikorsky S-51

On this occasion I wanted to show you something that I built quickly, without great details. It's the Sikorsky S-51 from Beaver Corporation, a brand I didn't know existed. The scale is 1/48. The kit has generally correct dimensions, and [...]
