1721 Lockheed EC-130V Hercules USCG 1/72 Italeri Kit

This is a heavily modified C-130 from Italeri in 1/72 using parts left over from a E-2 Hawkeye that was coverted to a C-2 Greyhound. Seemed a waste to have the radome spare and not use it on a Herc. The pylon for the radome is scratch [...]

Academy 1/48 F-14B Tomcat VF-14 Tophatters

An oldie from the 'loft insulation'. I built this a while ago but it still looks good. Not a bad kit and would argue better than the Hasegawa kit for the price. Certianly less complicated. When you don't spend big bucks on a kit it's much [...]

A Messerschmitt 109 in Normandie

hello, I decided to try to represent Bruno Fischer Messerschmitt 109-G6 during the Battle of Normandy in July 1944 near Evreux. I had some difficulty with assembly and the quality of my painting. This arrangement almost fly into the trash [...]

Battle of France/Battle of Britain Group Build – Airfix 1/48 Ju87B-2 Stuka

Here's my Stuka 3 days late. The modifications I made to the kit are: True Details brass set and other parts used to dress up the cockpit. Kit canopy cut into sections, windscreen and pilot's canopy used as masters to vac-u-form new [...]

Mirage Hobby 1/48 R.W.D.-8 PWS

Hi, this is my 1/48 RWD-8 from Mirage Hobby. For those unfamiliar with pre-war Polish aviation this was their standard training & liaison aircraft, & was also very popular with aero-clubs as well. The kit is the old Sponja [...]
