Supermarine Scimitar

"You Dont see many of these at the model shows" its the 1/72 Extrakit Supermarine Scimitar. And the reason you dont see many of them is it is a complete PIG to build the first thing i noticed at the start of the build was that [...]

Pegasus 1/48 E-Z Snapz P-51B (Tuskeegee)

Pegasus 1/48 E-Z Snapz P-51B (Tuskeegee) is the kit, to which was added Eagle Strike Checkertail Clan decals. I was watching "Checkertails Parts 1 & 2- a Documentary by Neil "Mysticpuma" Pugh, on YouTube. It was a very [...]

Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28 flown by Eddie Rickenbacker

The Nieuport 28 was the last of a line of fighting scouts to see combat service in the First World War. Unlike all of its predecessors, which had been sesquiplanes (a two-winged airplane in which the lower wing is less than 50% the area [...]

1/32 Hasegawa P-47- 40 Slick Chick

I was doing this as a buddy build on a private forum that I belong to and I thought I would share. This took me about o month and most of it was trying to decide what scheme to go with. I was going to to the set up with the spike but that [...]

ICM BF-109E-4 in 1/72nd scale

Another oob build. This is said to be more accurate than the Tamiya version but not as easy going as the Tamiya. Still it is not difficult to build, and would recommended it.

Hi All, Another oldie i built this last year its the Revell (X MPM) Meteor F4 or as we brits call it The Meat Box. Not a bad kit, nice surface detail the cockpit isn't great but a perfect candidate for fitting the Eduard Zoom Etch which i [...]

Fujimi 1/72nd TA-4J

Built straight from the box using two sets of kit decals. Green areas are airbrushed and only used the black outlines from the decals. Also, the black outlines are modified from the Fujimi instructions to reflect the few photos of this [...]

AMT’s 1/48 F7F-3N Tigercat

Well, not only do I love vintage jets, but I'm also a s****r for anything with a round engine! (Hearing EAA's B-17 flying around yesterday got me thinking about it again!)I think the Tigercat ranks among the best looking of them all! [...]

Another Lightning Strike! (92 Sq F.1A)

Seems like a lot of lightnings have been showing up lately, so I thought I'd show my 92 Sq. F.1A as well. (I like the early Lightnings before they added chord to the fin and squared it off!) I built it when the kit was new, so it's about [...]
