Special Hobby 1/48 Airspeed Oxford Mk.I

A reissue of their 2011 kit with new decals. Fairly typical Special Hobby fare which repays careful dry fitting and sanding. An enjoyable build painted up as a Norwegian version. Primed with Tamiya Gloss Pink. Painted with, MRP True Blue [...]

Build update on 6 1/32 scale AV8BII Harriers commission build for the USMC Blacksheeps

Whew! This is a hell of a project, one that can drive you nuts, especially if the kit is sub par. The way I am tackling it is by doing each section completely for one aircraft and I figure out any issues during assembly of that step. Once [...]

1/48 AirFix Bristol Blenheim Mk.1

Been quite a long time since I have been on the site with a completed model! A lot of "life" has kept me from the bench for almost a year. I picked up this kit on Facebook Marketplace along with an AirFix P-51D for $15. [...]

Late War 109 G-14 AS

Finished yesterday, my interpretation of a 109 G-14 AS that saw several distinct interpretations of its Reich verteidigung band. Seems that white/red interpretation is more likely true than the white/green depicted by kit and decal [...]

GWH SU-35S Flanker E 1/48

Hello! This is my recent project, a GWH SU-35S Flanker-E, 1/48 scale. It is, undoubtedly, my most demanding and longest build since my return to the hobby. It certainly could have been a much easier and quick build, but after seeing [...]
