iModeler Aviation

Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Major Michael Jackson's Teddy

This is the venerable Tamiya P-47D with Aeromaster decals. The paints are also Aeromaster. They stir up well years, or could be decades at this point, after purchasing them. The decals did not tear or shatter. I did have serious silvering [...]

A model that I originally didn't want to build at allbut which was (and still is!) a lot of fun: Zlin 137 Agro

The path to building this model of the Zlin 137 Agro is so entertainingly winding and full of twists and turns that I would like to start this report with a description of it. Sometimes the journey changes the perspective in such a way [...]

"Riding My First Mustang" (Mk IV, Eduard 1/48)

Hey Everyone. As you may recall, I have been trying to challenge myself more with attempting more plane models and getting myself out of my armored comfort zone. I started with the Wurger, then onto the Corsair and now I've tried riding [...]

REVELL Bf109 G-6

Here is my latest build after quite a long, ongoing illness. Its the 1:32 Revell Bf109 G-6. The build itself was basically OOB, except for some PE seat belts, and a seat "pad" made from an off cut of material (again, not correct, [...]

Amtech 1/48 P-40K

The series of AmTech's Curtiss P-40 Warhawks explores a highly diversified topic of Allied fighter both, it terms of variants and camouflage schemes. The kit origins from Ertl and was once among the better games in town with respect to the [...]

Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf-110C

Hello! Here’s my recent project, the Bf-110C. It has been in my "need to build" list for a while, such an iconic bird. However, I have to say, after several built Eduard kits, this one was kind of a disappointment. I mean, the [...]

Spitfire IX, Royal Egyptian Air Force, Kovozavody Prostejov (KPM) 1/72

Does the world need another Spitfire Mk IX kit, especially short run, when there are so many mainstream kits out there? Probably wouldn't have purchased the kit, but my buddy won it at a model show raffle, and it's not his scale. This [...]

He111H-22 missile-carrier

This is my latest build using the ICM He111 and the Tamiya V-1 flying bomb. Although there are a few issues with the Heinkel, it does build up into a nice model and looks good alongside the V-1, which has no issues at all in construction. [...]

Hobby Boss 1/72 T-6 Texan

The origins of the T-6 can be traced as far back as 1935, where North American Aviation introduced their first trainer aircraft. Designated NA-16, it became the forerunner of a variety of single-engine, low-wing monoplanes with tandem [...]

Eduard 1/72 Avia CS-199

Second completion of the year...Eduard Model Accessories 1/72 Avia CS-199. What a great kit. Improvements (that aren't needed) include Quinta Studios #72064 interior decals, Eduard #672321 external fuel tank, and ceramic wire antenna [...]
