Kit Revell 1:32 1993
This is my 1/144 Minicraft R5D which was used by the Coast Guard from 1945 through 1962.
This was built straight from the box. It went together very nicely with very little fit problems. The model was painted with Model Master Enamels and [...]
This is my vision of the famous TA 152 C-0/R11 (V7).
I have slightly changed the nose, the exhaust pipes and the front cooling system.

This is Tamiya's re boxing of the Italeri Mk.1 Hurricane, it was built with the addition of an Eduard Big-Ed set and won 1st place in the Riverside Scale Modellers October model of the month contest. Painted with Vallejo Model Air and [...]
