Tamiya 1/48 scale P-51D Mustang with Custom Markings for a Christmas Present
This idea hatched in August, 2011 when my sister expressed her love for the Mustang! "It's shiny and sounds so cool"! Little light bulb in my head went "Ping!" and this was the result. It is my first time playing [...]
Chino’s MiG-15 in flight
Proving just how good a pilot Steve Hinton is, here he is flying formation with a Cessna 210, from which I took these pix. And in case you want to ask "How close was he?" these photos were taken with a 55mm lens and are [...]
Nichimo 1/48th Ki-45 ‘Toryu’ OOB Dual Build
This pair of Nichimo Ki-45s was built with no extras other than seatbelts. These had been in my stash for years and I'd also obtained the Hasegawa kit, so I decided to build these first since I was in the mood for a quick no fuss project. [...]
1/48th ProModeler by Revell-Monogram Bf-110G-4

Tamiya 1/48th F4F-4 with KMC F4F-3 Conversion Set
This Wildcat is finished in the VF-42 markings of the machine flown by Scott McCuskey at the Battle of Coral Sea, while shipped aboard the USS Yorktown. The KMC -3 wings fit very nicely, but cutting and filing the mating surface requires [...]
Koga’s Zero
"ONE OF THE GREATEST PRIZES OF THE PACIFIC WAR."
As part of the greater battle of Midway, this Zero flew from the Ryujo and took part in a raid on Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians. The Zero was damaged in that raid and made a [...]
Grumman F6F-3 Otaki/Arii 1/48
Started with the best of intentions to be a straight forward OOB build, the urge to add a few extra details began as I realized how well the rather basic kit captured the shape of the Hellcat. The discovery of an aftermarket resin cockpit [...]
