Academy 1:48 Hunter F.6

For your consideration, an Academy 1:48 Hunter F.6. I replaced the undersized cockpit with a KMC resin replacement which looks and fits nice. Used aftermarket Hunter Xtradecals decals for 4 FTS at RAF Valley. While kit has accuracy [...]

The Old Hawk Lysander

I was excited to hear that Airfix was coming out with a new-tool Lysander this year I have always liked the look of this aircraft going back to my youth when my mom, for Christmas, 1973, gave me the Aircraft in Profile volume that [...]

Airfix 1/48 Sea King HU.5

An excellent model by Airfix. The build is complex, but not complicated. There are plenty of details and much scratch work to add. I detailed the crew entry door and more. Instructions however, are missing some of the holes required to be [...]

Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 XV424IAT Greenham Common 1979.

Another in my series of Phantom builds. The Airfix kit went together in it's normal fashion. The decals were a very different story, brittle, thin and had to be patched many times from the spares box. I wouldn't recommend them to [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 F100 D Super Sabre

My latest build with the following corrections and additions: 1)Corrected the inaccurate nose intake with plastic card & Magic Scalp. 2) Shortened the main undercarriage so that the model sat with a more nose up attitude. 3) Cockpit [...]

Fairey Battle mk. I Azur / Frrom AASF, France 1940.

(link) First of all, I invite you to watch the video. I think this time I managed to present the new product I built to the first person on YT. I waited a long time for a good Fairey Battle model and I finally got it. The construction of [...]

F-16 Aggressor Viper

I’m excited to show off my completed F-16 Aggressor Viper in the Splinter Green markings of 86-295 operated by the 18th Aggressor Squadron from Eielson AFB in Alaska. I assembled this 1/48 replica using the @Tamiya Block 50 kit. In [...]

1/72 Airfix Mosquito

This build is of an initial boxing of the old 1972 Airfix Mosquito that I picked up on a sale table. There’s a far better 2021 new tool Airfix but this is my first Mossie so thought I’d start with an easy one. I decided to finish it [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88A-4 Trop.

My favorite Ju 88A in the MTO. The model depicts an aircraft of 3.KG54 based in Catania, Sicily.

1/72 SBD-3 "Dauntless"Lt. Richard Best at Midway

This build is of the new Flyhawk kit, and represents the aircraft flown by Lt. Richard H. Best, commander of Bombing 6, and & ACRM(PA) J.F. Murray on the U.S.S. Enterprise (CV-6) at the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942. On June 4, [...]
