Heller 1/48 Tornado IDS

The Panavia Tornado was primarily designed for high-speed/low-level penetration, targeting the invading forces of the Eastern Europe Warsaw Pact countries. To achieve this, but still be able to have good low-speed flight characteristics, [...]

Laird's "Solution" Thompson Trophy Racer

Three weeks before the 1930 Thompson Trophy race, held in Chicago, Lee Shoenhair of the Goodrich Co. placed an order with the E.M. Laird Airplane company for a racer based on their Speedwing designs of commercial aircraft and featuring the [...]

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk1

Hey fellow modelers. With great excitement I am proud to bring you my latest and 3rd build. This project was one of three Xmas gifts received from my daughter. I'm a lucky guy šŸ™‚ I started the build somewhere in the Twighlight zone [...]

HobbyBoss C-47 Skytrain 1/72
