Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane IIC

This is one I built for IPMS USA for review which should be appearing very soon online. The kit was a pretty nice build and rewards the builder who has patience with an accurate & well detailed 1/48 Hurricane. Arguably the best in [...]

Correcting the Azur Vickers Vincent

In 2011 the Special Hobby/Azur group introduced a series of injection molded kits covering the Vickers Vildebeest and its associated variants. This was exciting news as previous kits had been the Contrail vacform and a couple of resin [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-4E Phantom IDF

Although showing its age, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-4E model looks like the real aircraft when completed. It has many shortfalls but, the relatively low part number count allows the builder to get to the painting stage quickly. In this model, I [...]

1/72 RAF P-40 North Africa Airfix

Hi Everyone, Well it’s been a couple decades since I built an aircraft so I decided to give this simple 1/72 Airfix kit a whirl and see if I can relearn some techniques. I love the P-40 especially in desert camo scheme. It’s OOB [...]

Another build with the nephew, Monogram/Mattel F-14A Tomcat

Noah, my 7 year old nephew paid a few more visits this summer. Lucky for him that a few family birthdays were celebrated at our house, since we have the pool. When I showed him the old Mattel/Monogram F-14 with its swing-wing action, he [...]

Airfix de Havilland Mosquito PR.XVI 1945, 1/72

Having completed the new issued Airfix Mosquito kit earlier this year, i knew i was in for a treat. The PR version flown by the South African Air Force in Italy was a must ever since it was first announced last year. Look at that [...]

Arado 68 F-1, Roden 1/48

Roden from Ukraine is well known producer of plastic kits. They made two variants of Arado 68 in version E and F-1 in 1/48 scale. Both kits are almost same, except front part of fuselage with engine and propeller. Kits are most likely made [...]

Supermarine Spitfire IXc 1/24 Airfix

Yes, yes, yes. I do it. 🙂 My dream is done. Only decals and seatbelts aftermarket. And some little homemade parts 🙂

Ford Tri-motor

Looking through some pics of my old builds from the Jurassic period, here's an oldie. Revell's box scale (about 1:77) a friend got at a garage sale. Someone had already started building it, got some paint on parts still attached to the [...]

F4U-1D - Corsair - VF84

Dear Modellers, Here is my version of the 1/32 Corsair F4U-1D. It took me 10 months to build it. I spent a lot of time building the cockpit and engine. I used this time a lot of products from ANYZ and the belts are from HGW models. I used [...]
