Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Hasegawa 1:48 scale Kawanishi N1K1-Ja

Little older kit here but fit seems decent. So far so good and it's about ready to paint her up. NMF on the lower surfaces and Kawanashi Navy Green on the top. More pictures to follow... Freddie

Hasegawa, 1:48 scale Mitsubishi F1M2, Type 0, Model 11, Observation Seaplane- "Pete"

This was another recent Hasegawa release that really is a blast to build. First attempt at a bi-plane as well. Kit builds very nicely and is another OOB effort...again. Painted with Model Master Enamels in early war Imperial Japanese Navy [...]

1:32 Scale Hasegawa Focke Wulf Fw-190A-5

This is one of Hasegawa's newer kits of this famous aircraft, and one of the fastest models I've ever built. I think it took me about a week, maybe a couple days longer from start to finish. Model was again built OOB, with the only [...]

Special Hobby 1:32 scale Mitsubishi A5M4 Claude

Hello, This is my latest build. The Special Hobby , 1:32 scale, A5M4 Claude. The kit gave me fits sometimes. The instructions weren not all to clear, instructions for the windshield part, decalling and painting for the version I've build [...]

Terry Schuler’s “The Cotton Chopper” (Tamiya, 1/48th)

This article was originally written and posted by my good friend David Hansen who was on imodeler at the time and I was not. Therefore this article puts me into a third person position. Being transferred to my blog March 2015, I decided to [...]

1/32 HPH Avia B.534 Serie IV

It is hard to believe nowadays, but in the 1930s, there was a vibrant aviation industry in both Poland and Czechoslovakia, the original designs of which rivaled anything created in Germany, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, the [...]
