The Itallian Job….Macchi C.202 Folgore 1/48 scale

This is the only Italian aircraft I have right now... This is the Hasegawa Macchi Mc.202 Folgore. This kit was built straight from the box except Superscale Decals. I cant remeber the squadron its from though...I did this one before I [...]

Classic Airframes 1/48 I-153s

The Classic Airframes I-153 came out in around 1996, the last of the kits done for them by Eduard, and one of the first Eduard kits to be done in mainstream injection-molded plastic with better molds. The kit was later released by Eduard [...]

Hasegawa Macchi C.205 Veltro Luftwaffe 1/48 scale

Since I'm showing off my Luftwaffe stuff now, here is a cool one..This is the Hasegawa Macchi C.205 Veltro of JG77. This kit was built straight from the box. I was able to acquire the Mike Grant "Smoke Ring" decals to do this [...]

Pro-Modeler Fw190D-11 1/48 scale

This is the Pro-Modeler Fw190D-11 built straight from the box. I was planning on using a real cool Eagle Strike decal set on this one but its for a D-9 not the D-11 so I used the kit decals. I chickened out on the red bottom scheme so I [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Ju87B-2 Stuka

I have always liked the Stuka ever since I watched my dad build the Guillows balsa wood kit. So here is mine. This is Hasegawa's Ju87B-2 depicting S2+AM from 4/St.G.77 Eastern Front, 1941..I built this one pretty much straight from the [...]

OK here it is, the wait is over for Bill Koppos's Favorite model....and the winner is..............

Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Brewster Buffalo Mark I. Ta Da! (Cue Fireworks...) The maligned Brewster has always been a fascination of mine-why, I'm not sure. I like the looks, the barrel shape, different landing gear, cool glasshouse [...]

Fujimi FW-190D-9 “Black 10″

I bought this old Fujimi 1/48 kit at a model close-out at a Michael's store many years ago. Since I only paid a few dollars for it, when I finally got around to building the plane, 15-20 years ago, I decided to try a bit of customizing. [...]

Thought the Wildcat thing petered out, eh? My Kid’s F4F-3….

Hobbyboss 1/48 F4F-3 "Early" built by my son, Kyle a while ago. I happen to think Hobby Boss really got this one right, and it really looks spiffy in the early wargames scheme. If I recall this one was a kit provided scheme. [...]

This Greek Army inventory Nieuport 27 captured in airworthy condition at Gaziemir (Paradiso) airfield by the end of Turkish War of Independence in 1922. Named Ganimet-4 (Booty-4) and used for training duties until 1927 in Turkish Air [...]

Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IX. 1/32nd. scale.

As much as I love Spitfires, this one took me rather a long time; six month, give or take & I completed a few others while I was having a break. Lovely detail & fit & absolutely spot on for shape & proportion. I kept the [...]
