1/72 Hobbycraft DHC-4 Caribou- Goats, Chickens, Beans and Bullets

The C-130 Hercules gets all the glory for the role it has and continues to play in the arena of tactical airlift. Perhaps less well known but, not insignificant, is the humble De Haviland of Canida, Caribou. It is smaller than the 130 [...]

1/48 Wildcat VI (FM-2).

I finally got to build my first Eduard Wildcat. Eduard hit a home run with this one. Not only is it an accurate FM-2, but Eduard really raised the bar for 1/48 Wildcats. This kit renders the Tamiya Wildcat obsolete and in my opinion [...]

F-16A MLU RNLAF 322nd Squadron "Polly Grey" 60th anniversary 2003

With the 50th anniversary of the F-16 today, I repost the F-16 I finished recently as part of the GB initiated by Erik Gjørup @airbum. It’s a rendition of the F-16A MLU with registration J-063 from RNLAF 322nd Squadron based at [...]

Revell 1/32 Focke wulf 190F8/9

Revell's big Wurger is a very nice kit. Fit of parts is good and the BMW 801 is included. This combination is rare among Wurger model manufacturers because in most cases cowling panels would not close properly on the engines not to mention [...]

Hasegawa J2M3 Raiden

The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden was a local interceptor that served in the defense of the Japanese homeland against high-altitude Allied bombers. It was therefore a good, quick climber without frills. The earlier J2M2 and J2M3 (both designated [...]

Dassault Super Mystere SMB.2

1/72 Special Hobby kit. Added Eduard "Zoom" set, Reskit wheels/tires, and Reskit exhaust, Hataka lacquer paints and kit decals. By far, the best Special Hobby kit that I have built in terms of fit and engineering.

Tamiya He-162 Salamander

Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale. It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]

Nothing is impossible: the Bartini-Beriev WWA-14

When looking at some of the flying machines, the question immediately arises as to how anyone could believe that something like this would ever take off! In fact, the original of the WWA-14 M1 shown here has flown - and not at all badly, [...]
