Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is the AMTech P-40K "big tail" which was essentially the AMT P-40E kit with a resin rear fuselage and fin. I used a True Details P-40E/N cockpit. The decals are from an early Aeromaster sheet.
The airplane is a KittyHawk [...]
The AMTech (ex-AMT) P-40F with the resin corrected nose AMTech provided in their kit to fix the wrong nose the kit had. I don't remember whose resin cockpit this is, but the decals were by Aeromaster. The scheme is the "early desert [...]
This is the Mauve 1/48 P-40N, utilizing a True Details resin cockpit, Squadron (Falcon) vacuform canopy and Red Roo Decals to make the P-40N flown by Wing Commander John Waddy, Australia's leading P-40 (only) ace when commanding 80 Wing at [...]

The idea was a simple out-of-the box project with a single-color paint scheme giving a chance [...]
Ok... I primarily build 1/48 scale WW2 aircraft, but every once in a while I want to branch out. I was introduced to models way back in the stone age when my father would build the Aurora WW1 kits, paint them in oils (he was a dabbling [...]
This is my first first attempt at building a Trumpeter kit and I chose a good one. This project started back in 2012 for the ARC 100th Anniversary USN Group Build. It was one of several projects that was started for that GB, this [...]
It has been a while since I have posted and I have finally finished a kit to offer. My two WIP albums haven't changed but I did finish my first aircraft kit since childhood and thought I would put it up to show my highs and lows and open [...]

Here is Hasegawa’s 1/48 [...]
