Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

1:48 Marine H-34D Seahorse

Out of the box build, having fun weathering as I like to treat it as a 3D illustration. I've been experimenting with different techniques, pastels, graphite pencils and a paper stump.

1/48 Tamiya P-51B

1/48 Tamiya P-51B "Princess Elizabeth" P-51B HO-W 42-106449 was the personal mount of Lt. William T. Whisner of the 487th FS, 352nd FG in the spring of 1944. Lt. Whisner shared a victory over an Bf109 with Major George Preddy on [...]

Airfix 172 Lightnings

Carrying on my Airfix love affair, I eagerly waited the new Lightning when it was released. I have built several of the 1/48 scale ones and they were/are superb models and a delight to build. I asked Santa for an F-2A when it was first [...]

1:48 ANG UH-1 “Huey”

Just an out of the box build of a Bell UH-1 based on an Army National Guard "Huey." My first attempt at weathering incorporating a combination of pastels and silver colored pencil.

1/200 Dragon C-141B

Airfix 1/72 Harriers

I have been an Airfix fan for many years and in recent times their new moulds just keep tempting me to buy and build. The Harrier kits are excellent, well detailed and an enjoyable build.

1:32 Sioux H-13

My passion for rotary wing has spilled over into my model making with this build coming strictly out of the box. The above aircraft featured is from the Army's inventory of helios, the ubiquitous Bell 47 or in it's armed forces livery the [...]

Vintage (1:24) Bell model 47

Many years ago I commissioned a gentleman in California to custom fabricate this 1:24 scale Bell model 47 helicopter. The craftsmanship and detail are so beautiful that I wanted to share to this website. Due to the fact that it was [...]

Letov S-231 1:72 KPspanish civil war

Hi everyone! This ismy small scale Letov S-231 built from an old KP. I have some deep memories about KP kits because then practically these manufactirers (KP, SMER, Novo, WEB Plasticart and ZTS) meant modeling to us (behind the old [...]

Otaki 1/48 Ki43 “Oscar”

Another "whiffie" racer...these old kits are FUN. and inexpensive. I added a "modern" pilot, cleaned up the the fuselage, and clipped the wings. Looks very lightweight and fragile. The stripes are painted over [...]
