Hasegawa 1/48 P-40E 112 Sqn RAF, pilot- C Caldwell

This model of the old times. P-40E, Hasegawa, painting brush. No aftermarket, only decal on Tally-Ho. There will be time - be sure to gather another P-40, only the paint is going to like everything - the airbrush)))

Westland Wyvern in 1/48 scale from Trumpeter.

Trumpeter have really done us proud. Not only do they issue well engineered (mostly) kits, but they produce models you are unlikely to see from other manufacturers for anything like the price. My Wyvern was built out-of-the-box with only [...]

1/48 Hasegawa P-40K

John Hampshire's P-40K of the 23rd Fighter Group, aka Flying Tigers. The kit is the Hasegawa P-40K with Eduard color etch and Baracuda Cals Decals. The kit was a pleasure to build and presented no major issues as long as you're careful [...]

Monogram 1/48th PBJ-1H (B-25H) Landing on ShangriLa

H-K 1/32 B-25J and PBJ-1

I am spending the weekend getting the third of these built, the B-25J Strafer, so thought I would put up some pictures of my other H-K B-25J models. "Ruthie" is from the 340th Bomb Group, the "real" Catch-22 outfit [...]

Video: Sweet's 1/144 Lucky the Cat, I mean Wildcat!

A video with so many cats, it should be on facebook!

Hobby Craft 1/48 Bell P-59 Airacomet

Since this was my first attempt at building a jet, why not build America's first attempt as well. Did purchase a True Detail cockpit set and it fit extremely well, the kits office is a joke. Saw a photo of a P-59 with drop tanks so I added [...]

Classic Airframes 1/48 He-51 Legion Condor

Hello everyone, today we have the early period of the Luftwaffe - He-51. Model of Classic Airframes, quite good, but still requires work hard. The cockpit is almost completely self-made, a lot of fuss was with landing gear. Was not easy as [...]
