Hey Guys, havent posted here in a while, have just finished this less than half an hour ago. This one has been dragging on longer than i wanted ! this was pretty much a test build as i have 3 other F-111C kits i plan to build, this was my [...]

1/48 Hobby Craft F8F Bearcat Blue Angels

Since I posted a Thunderbirds picture I thought it might be fitting to post some Blue Angels. This is the 1/48 Hobby Craft Bearcat straight from the box. No added aftermarket. Nice little kit, but could use some more detail. I painted it [...]

P-40E Build complete, my apologies for getting toothy again.

Here is the final product! The completed subject of my P-40 build log in the WIP page. I've been in a toothy mood lately so I used Baracuda Cals representing Col. Scott's aircraft. It's finished with MM Acryls, "faded" with a [...]

1/72 J-8H Finback

I converted this from the Trumpeter kit. I added significant detail to the cockpit and landing gear while also correcting the ESM gear for this updated 'Finback'.

Faux pas II

Craig, your not the only one with S.M.S. ( Senior Moment Syndrome ) I posted this on another site and didn't catch the faux pas until the comments started coming in. The wing is suppose to say... "Miami"

Monogram 1/48 F-4C and Hasegawa ground equipment

I guess this is the only thing I have that may remotely count as a diorama. I built this for my dad about 20 years ago and gave it to him for Christmas. It actually has a glass cover. I used Monogram's F-4C Phantom II kit straight from [...]

Tamiya 1:48, Mitsubishi Isshirikko type 11 G4M1 “Betty”

This one I've build a couple of years ago. Tamiya did a very great job on this one! It was a nice plane to build. Bought the Eduard mask for the canopy, blisters and tailgun parts but it was a PITA. They were thick and peeled of after [...]
