Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hobbycraft A-4, need I say more? I believe this was the result of a Christmas "grab bag", or something like that. Since it had been opened previously, there was no returning it, and it seemed sort of a challenge. There was [...]
Some Tamiya 1/48 P-51Ds,
Glenn Eagleston's "Eagle", 353rd FS, 354th "Pioneer Mustang" FG.
"Grim Reaper" - 356th FS, 354th FG (I would love to see some warbird owner do this on a flyer)
Bud Anderson's "Old [...]

This model represents the Me 262 A-1a flown by Major Walter Novotny, based in Achmer, in November 1944.

This model of the Learjet has been around for many years, and is still available. It shows it's age when compared to the newer Hasegawa Learjet 35/36 (but, don't we all). Still, it builds into a decent looking business/private jet that [...]

My collection of Brendan 'Paddy' Finucane's Spitfires so far. Mk.Vb UD W AB972 (Tamiya), Mk.IIa UD W P8038 (Airfix) and Mk.Ia YT W R6818 (also Airfix).
A semi fictitious P-51 out of the Hasegawa Mustang Mk.III 'RAF Combo' kit. Wanted to build Henry Brown's The Hun Hunter' Texas but couldn't find any after market decals so robbed these from an Aeromaster Debden Jugs Pt.III set. Lt Duane W. [...]
Not a completely accurate depiction of Lt. John Godfrey's P-47, changed a couple of little things to suit what I wanted to build, dropped the emblem and made him an ace.(I know he clocked up around 16.33 kills but in Aeromasters Debden [...]
