General Doolittle's Ride

Boeing 247 1/72 Williams Brothers

Built basically OOB from the Williams Bothers kit in 1/72. I wanted a different aircraft than the supplied decals so registration markings were pieced together by cutting up the kit decals and the outline of the United States hand painted [...]

Revell 1/48 F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers…

Well I finally finished my first build of 2013...It took a while but got'er done. Pretty much built straight from the box except I used SuperScale decals. This one will be a great addition to my Jolly Rogers collection...of course its the [...]

Fabric wing model 1/32 scale. To me the early Hurricanes are the best looking-that pointy nose just does it. The Pacific Coast kit is pretty good, the only big issue being poor wing fit. It has a real good interior, nice surface detail and [...]

Astrokit 1/48 Macchi C.200 Saetta
