Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Not sure how many modelers have built the Hobby Boss easy assembly kit of the Lockheed P-38, but here is my take on it.
As far as P-38 kits go, it really is an "easy" kit, but you do have to deal with very long seam lines that [...]
This is a kit by LF models and I think it may be their first all plastic kit in 1/48. It is a limited run product of very good quality. Options include cowl panels to do either the in line exhaust or the tubular. The clear parts are very [...]
I wanted to do one more model for the Sullivan Memorial Group, and a photo in Golden Wings of a US Navy SNJ-3 caught my eye. It was a very weathered SNJ-3 photographed at NAS Moffett Field in 1944. The camouflage seemed to be a cross [...]
Finally after sitting on my shelf, it's finished. A lot of new things like Vallejo Color Magnesium and a bit different than the usual camo versions? Still had a lot of leading edge seam separating?
I need to learn a more reliable way of [...]
Making a model of the plane of the 41st President of the United States has been my dream for a long time. Already in primary school, I built a simple Frog TBF Avenger model. But now it's time for a more professional construction. The [...]

This is the old Revell P-40c. It's still a great little kit after all this time and I always have at least a couple it my stash. With a little work this kit is capable of being a show stopper. I'm not a master modeler by any means, but I'm [...]
Why to build only one when you can build two at the same time? Same kit, same details and improvements than on the previous one but this time I used the kit decals, except the yellow strake on the nose that I preferred to paint it to keep [...]
This was a great kit with excellent fit and detail. Many tiny fiddly parts in the interior so I decided to build open door version.
I was not too happy with camo pattern outcome so I weathered more than usual. Decals were excellent and I [...]
