Two “Sixes”, Convair F-106 in 1/48 by Monogram, who else?

The Convair F-106 Delta Dart will always be one of my most favorite aircraft, and not just because I was able to fly supersonic in one, but that probably helped! In September 1972 I flew from McClellan AFB in California to Tyndall AFB on [...]

The T-2C Buckeye. SpecialHobby 1/48

Monogram 1/48th Grumman F9F-5 Panther USN,Korean War

Staying in the Korean War theme, this is Monograms kit in 48th scale. A nice build, even with the raised panel lines, it is a fun kit to build. A straight forward build only aftermarket used were Super Scale decals for VF-123, Blue [...]

AMT/Airfix Eagle transporter

I picked this kit up at a show the other week for a fiver,it was part built and required taking apart and tidying up before rebuilding and painting but I think it turned out O.K. The kit itself is very basic even toylike having only 38 [...]

A few years back a friend of mine asked me to build a Korean war aircraft for her father who served on the USS Boxer in Korea. I built her this F4U-5N from Hasegawa to give to her dad. The model is almost OOB, but I did add PE seatbelts. [...]
