1/48 Airfix F-51 "Rotation Blues"
Here is my take on Airfix's Korean War F-51. Great kit with excellent value. Built OOB with a few scratchbuilt modifications- namely a seat cushion with seat belts and some additional Korean War radio equipment that was not included in [...]
Tamiya 1/48 F-4B Phanton II
My first completed build for 2024 (OK, I started late 2023 :D). I had such a great time building this kit. The Tamiya engineering is spot on, and I didn't have to work on gaps or seam lines. The only complaint I have is with the decals. [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 Saab J-35FS Draken in Finnish service
Finnish Air Force Draken (DK-271) Fighter Squadron 21 (HävLLv 21).

Hasegawa 1/48 Nagajima Ki84 TYPE4 FIGHTER HAYATE(FRANK) 10th Operational Flying Training Unit
Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit
I finished my personal favorite kit, which is one of Hasegawa's most well-made kits.
We focused on the metal representation and weathering of the used fuselage to finish it.
Riveted expressions are added throughout [...]
Academy 1/48 A-10C
The most trouble free aircraft model I've ever put together, I can't sing praise enough. The only AM are the seabelts, and I tossed in a few bombs I had lying about spare.
Painted in Tammy Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey with a black Flory's [...]
Revell 1/48 F-89J Scorpion
The origins of the F-89 (the name Scorpion came from the elevated tail and high-mounted horizontal stabilizers) can be traced back in summer 1945, when USAAF issued a specification for a twin engine night fighter to replace the P-61 Black [...]

Here is my 1/32 Revell (ex Dragon) Bf 110G-2 with AIMS conversion set from 5./ZG I in winter of 1943/44 based at Wels-Austria
I have used Red Fox 3D interior decals, Quickboost exhausts, Master details pitot tube and Henri Dahne propeller [...]
Hasegawa TBF-1C Avenger
This is the 1/72-scale Hasegawa TBF/TBM 1-C Avenger from 1995. It's a quality kit: good surface detail and nice fit. My son built the Academy kit alongside me, and my impressions are that the Hasegawa has more detail in places, like [...]
Tora Tora Tora!
This build took roughly a year to complete and features 3 Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft involved in the assault on Pearl Harbor.
I discovered this kit from Hasegawa around the fall of 2022 and had a pretty rough time tracking it down. [...]
