Pilot and box
Here's a close up shot of my p51 pilot and the box. Not much to work with here, it's an old kit, but the pilot came out better than expected.

Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
RAF Mustang III 1/48 Tamiya.
Well this my second posting the Mustang III, done in natural finish.
The kit went together as any Tamiya kits do. The wings were a tight fit but hardly any filler used any where,. Had a bit if a nightmare with the colour scheme, I was [...]
Hasegawa 1/32 Ki.61-1 tei (conversion)
This is the beautiful Hasegawa ki.61-I tei, converted from the Ki.61-I hei using the Wolfpack resin nose for the extended cowling to make the "long nose" Tony. It is marked as the well-known "celebrity" Tony flown by [...]
1/350 Jake by Tamiya
This is just for fun -- one of the float planes from the IJN Tone, an Aichi Jake. It took about 2 1/2 hours each to build the nine planes I had on the cruiser's after deck.

1/48 Ki-61 Hein by Hasegawa
Here is an older build of Japan's only in-line engine powered fighter, commonly called Tony. This is in a New Guinea scheme, which began as natural metal, but was quickly over sprayed. I think the Japanese had a strange sense of humor [...]

1/48 Glencoe Spad XIIIC.1
This has to be a re-issue of a re-issue, etc. Copyright on the instructions reads "1995". The best part of the kit is the "invisa-clear" Scale-Master decals. This was another 20+ part kit that I built because it [...]
Douglas RD-2 "DOLPHIN" USCG 1932
Back in the days of yore, modelers had but two recourses for getting the aircraft model of their choice: plastic kit or scratch built (usually wood construction). Then behold, VACUFORM burst upon the scene, kits of aircraft that no [...]
