Hasagawa P-3 Orion of VP-19.Flown out of Moffet Field , CA during 1977-78.

This is the very old 1/72 Hasagawa kit. That was done in the late 70’s. It was attached to VP-19 and was stationed at NAS Moffet Field in Sunnyvale, CA. The kit shows it’s age but was still a very good kit for the time. I believe this [...]

Pro Modeller's 1/48 scale Me 410 Hornisse

Built back in 2004 or thereabouts, this was 'state of the art' then & remains a superlative kit in 2015. I recall a trouble-free build for the most part & my Hornisse has been on display ever since. I needed a break from my current [...]

Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 (Early)Wingnut Wings

Gentlemen, just look upon this as me trying to get up enough courage to one day attempt the mighty Felixstowe F.2a from Wingnut Wings. The subject is, of course, one of Wingnut's new offerings of late last year: the Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 [...]

Piasecki HRP-1 "Flying Banana" 1948

A helicoper, such as this, has a peel... OK, so much for whirly bird humor. Helicopter models are not as exciting to build as a fighter or bomber but they have a certain attraction especially colorful helos that are used in search and [...]
