1/32 Tamiya P-51D Mustang LOU IV
Here are some pictures of my last Mustang.
LOU IV built mostly out of box except for Barracudacast wheels and EagleCals decals.
Painting was done with Gunze Sangyo acrylics and Alclad metalizers.
Happy modelling

48th Scale Hasegawa Phantom
When these kits first came out I wasn't in any hurry to build one. There were too many experts on hand to point out everything you did wrong, but I did buy the kits nonetheless. Several years ago I eventually got around to building my [...]
Revell (1/144th ?) Ekranoplan A-90 Orljonok
There are a few weird models on my shelves, but this is one of the strangest. I couldn't find a scale on the instruction sheet, but it looks at home on my "1/144th & other" shelf, next to the other Soviet stuff. Not really [...]
Hobbycraft 1/48th Dornier Do. 17Z "Flying Pencil". Luftwaffe ETO WWII
In between graduating from USC, then Navy and trying to build a Navy, I would pick up kits here and there. Not building for a few years. Still the urge was with me, but once I started to build back in the early 90's the 5th model to [...]
Field Trip
Recently I made my fourth visit to the Dulles Museum. Well, that’s not the real name; it is officially the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum/Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, but that’s way too much to remember, so I just refer to [...]
Trumpeter 1/100th Antonov An-12BK Cub
My favorite of the three Trumpeter kits, I built. The scale is a little different, being 1/100th, instead of the usual 1/144th. Unlike the other two, this one has an interior, for what it's worth. It makes a decent shelfmate for the [...]
North American A-36A Apache by Accurate Miniatures in 1/48 scale
Not as glamorous an aircraft as its pure fighter stablemates, but a hard worker nonetheless.
This represents a 'plane serving in Italy sometime in 1943-44. Worn, faded & dirty.
I built this kit quite some time ago & it still stands [...]
Trumpeter 1/144th IIyushin IL-78 Midas
The IL-78 is another nice Trumpeter kit, and a good companion for the A-50 Mainstay. A fairly easy build, with no major flaws. It's an impressive size model for a smaller scale. While I'm glad to have these on the shelf, I don't think [...]
1/48 Eduard Hellcat II
This is the recent Eduard Weekend Edition Hellcat II. I finished it with Humbrol enamels and kit decals. I also added True Details wheels, Eduard seat belts, and scratchbuilt the drop tank retention straps from scrap brass. This kit is [...]
Dragon/DML 1/48th Scale Ho229A-1 Flying Wing
This model started its life in my good friend Franks capable hands and then just sort of died and was relegated to the pile of “doom” in his model cave. Well, I spied it and asked him about what was up with it. His response was “I [...]
