Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Both Corsair IIs, the FAA designation for the Vought-built F4U-1A.
The British were the second-largest user of the Corsair. While the US Navy was sending the Corsair to the Marines because it couldn't operate from a carrier (too bouncy, [...]
Received this kit as part trade from the daughter of an IPMS modeler. Was one of my first attempts at building a twin prop AC. The B-25H was designed as a commerce strafer and carried a 75MM cannon in the nose as well as four .50 Cal Mg's. [...]
This is 1/32 Hasegawa Focke Wulf 190D9 finished in the markings of Platzschutzstaffel (Airfield protection squadron). Jagdverband 44 was established in February 1945 as a jet fighter squadron. Because of the greater length of runway it [...]
The second Eduard 1/48 I built, I can't seem to locate the pictures from my first build. A few errors here and there, but I really love these kits fiddly, but fun and the weekend ones are a great value. I chose "Brown 17" since [...]

I did cram an Eduard PE interior into it mainly for the instrument panel & belts.
I'd guess my total [...]
This is my P-47 that was built out of the box except for the decals which are from the Wolf Pack series by Aeromaster. I have always loved the P-47 and when I was a kid I built at least a half dozen of the Monogram kits and painted them [...]
Here's my latest build and first attempt at an Internet upload. The 1:48 Tamiya A-1 was a pleasure to build, my only additions were the Eduard zoom set, hypodermic needle gun barrels and a Milliput shroud behind the cockpit. It was painted [...]
I had built the 1/48 Isuzu petrol truck with the Ki-45 Kawasaki "Nick" it came with, and thought it would work well with the Shoki too. So I set up this quick scene using a generic base, a couple of drums and a bicycle from an [...]
This Dora is finished as an aircraft belonging to JG26 during 1944-45.
The model is the Tamiya offering built straight from the box with a set of Eduard seatbelts added.
All markings were painted on with Eduard masks, using an Aeromaster [...]
