Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Wingnuts Roland DVIa

I thought it might be worth posting a few pictures of older builds that were not seen much when they were built, these mostly just appeared in a few small pictures on Hyperscale so here is my Wingnuts Roland from a couple of years back. [...]

1/32 Revell Spitfire Mk. IIPart 2, Completed Model.

I finished the model with Humbrol enamels. The camo paints are #29 Dark Earth (with a few drops of white), #163 Dark Green, #90 Sky. Decals were applied after a brushed coat of Future and sealed with more Future. I clear coated it with [...]

1/32 Revell Spitfire Mk.II – Part 1, Construction.

I took some photos along the way to illustrate the construction of my big Revell Spitfire. I added a lot of aftermarket parts to this one, far more then usual. I hope the photos help anyone building this kit. The following aftermarket [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I early

Pacific Coast Models 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXc

It may not have all the bells and whistles of Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire IX, but the Pacific Coast Models kit gives you a pretty accurate Mk IX without having to worry about a stratospheric parts count. While in many ways a limited-run kit not [...]

Revell/ProModeler P-47N, 1/48

One of two 1/48 injection-molded P-47N kits out there (Academy's N coming out around the time this one came out in the late 1990s), the ProModeler kit was repopped a few years back by Revell. While it's the most accurate N kit in outline, [...]

Revellogram A-4E Skyhawk

The classic Monogram A-4E/F Skyhawk still lives 36 years after its initial release. Yeah, the Hasegawa kit may offer finer details and cleaner moldings, but you can do a lot with the Monogram kit too. Revell's most recent repop of this [...]
