Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Hasegawa 1/72nd scale Fw-190A-8

Platz 1/144th scale P-51 Mustang "Big Beautiful Doll"

Built out of box. Used Alclad and Model Master paints along with kit decals.

My "Frightning"

Here is my attempt at reproducing the magnificent E.E Lightning F.1. The "Frightning" as it was often called by it's pilots, is one of my all time fav jets. This is the Airfix 1/48 kit which is probably the most accurate F.1 [...]

My SPAD

This is my representation of George Marrett's "Sock it to 'em" - a A-1J of the 602nd SOS Nakhon Phanom, RTAFB circa 1968/69. Anyone interested in SPAD's should read George's book "Cheating Death" which covers his time [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Fw-190D-9

Somebody say Wurger? Here's my two cent's worth. OOB, except for seatbelts, underside painted, balance are kit decals.

Eduard 1:48 F6F-3 Hellcat

Another TMMI submission for a while back. Additions include a Quickboost R-2800, a Jaguar resin interior (meant for the Hasegawa kit), ultracast prop, and assorted other tidbits fashioned out of plastic stock. Colors are custom mixed [...]

Yellow 1o's big brotherthe Rutman 1/32 conversion

Did this back in about 2004, it's my favorite of all the big Wurger models I've done. Used the now out of production Eagle Editions sheet. The Rutman conversion (forward fuselage and engine plug and prop/spinner) is now available from [...]

Tamiya A6M2 1:32 Zero

I built this shortly after the kit was released. It was my first foray into highly detailed 1:32 scale kits, although I had previously built a Hasegawa FW-109 G6 out of the box, which turned out pretty well. This one, though, was far [...]

Wingnut Wings FE.2b Early

This was my fourth Wingnut Wings kit, and the most challenging due to the amount of rigging required. I used EZ Line in both sizes. This was good, and bad. EZ Line does stretch well, eliminating the dreaded after-build line sag, and it is [...]

Fw-190D-13 "Yellow 10"

Done back in 2001, using the Wurger Mechanic conversion (fuselage, prop and spinner) with the Trimaster Fw-190D kit. Decals were from Eagle Editions.
