Quince Brown’s “Okie” P-47 and some 78th FG history

Since my Osprey book, "Aces of the 78th Fighter Group" is now available for pre-order at Amazon (pay no attention to the "place holder" artwork shown, Mark Postlethwait's painting of Gene Roberts scoring his 2nd of 3 [...]

Hasegawa’s 1/72 A-1H Skyraider, USN Vietnam

This was one of those kits that you really enjoy building. Just enough detail to really not need any AM bits other than a choice of decals. Other than the aforementioned decals, it was OOB. Something different as there are a few [...]

P-51B Flown by Captain Gilbert O'Brien , 357th FG

With the advent of WWII Gilbert O'Brien resigned his position as a draftsman with the US Navy Department and joined the USAAF. Upon completion of flight training he was assigned to the 357th FG, 362nd FS, at Hamilton Field California, [...]

Oh dear, not another Fw 190…

Airfix Sabre Mk.4 in 1/72 scale

This is the first 1/72 scale model I've made since around 1990! I think Airfix are to be congratulated on producing such a fine kit. Our local IPMS club decided to do a 'Group Build' & we chose this scale & kit so as to keep the [...]

Classic Airframes 1/48 early Hurricane I

The Classic Airframes Hurricane I is the only 1/48 kit that offers the opportunity to do a "ragwing" Hurricane. It is obvious the designers looked at the Hasegawa kit, which they corrected by changing the lower wing part so the [...]

PBY-5A US Coast Guard 1952

This is a version of Monogram's 1:48 scale PBY- 5A. Most builders construct this kit in typical WWII fashion but I wanted my plane to present a different appearence. The USCG started flying Catalinas in the 1930's, (the flying boat [...]
