Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This model was done 10 years ago when the kit first came out. It's still the best 1/48 Mirage kit and well worth having, particularly in the Profipack release.
Like the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain, the P-51 and the daylight battles [...]
I couldn't help but notice a P-40 theme in the last few posts, so I am compelled to add my own rendition of this noble bird to this site! This is the Hobbycraft boxing of Trumpeter's P-40B/Hawk 81A2 Tomahawk done as it could only be [...]
Built this a while back, but as others have posted oldies but goodies, decided to show I do actually manage to get somthing across my work bench occasionally! Good kits the Roden's, if maybe not for beginners. Soft plastic can make [...]
The P-40E-1/Kittyhawk IA flown by CAPT Andrew Reynolds of the 49th FG is actually a Kittyhawk IA - the Lend-Lease version of the P-40E-1. When the 49th FG arrived in Australia in March 1942, there was not much attention paid to whether [...]

Playtime ! I would say it's a "whiffie" but, after the model was finished, I saw a drawing of the OV-10 with proposed floats. To my knowledge, the real deal never came about. I had built this as a joke, along with several [...]
Hello!
My new job. Elegant French fighter.
In my plans for another three or four models of the S-13.
Happy viewing! Sincerely, Vlad.

I really, really like the slender, wooden, shark like designs of some German WWI scouts [...]
