Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is a major conversion of Trumpeter's 1/48 HU-16A Albatross into an RCAF CSR-110, the long winged version similar to an HU-16B, UF-2, but with engines and props (R-1820-82's) from the RCN Tracker.
The conversion involved increasing the [...]
Hi everyone,
Here are some pic's of my Fine Molds F-4e in 1/72 scale.
A very nice model - easy to build, good fit and very detailed, too bad it comes without armament, only with fuel tanks.
I added resin wheels, 3D printed exhaust [...]
Here is the veteran Accurate Miniatures #85061 1/48 Yak-1, finished in the markings of Lydia Litvyak. I used a set of photo etch seat belts from Eduard to dress up the cockpit. I tried drilling out the exhaust stubs that came with the [...]

I built this kit for the Phoney War Group (thanks, Felix @fxrob). I have been wanting to build the 1/48 Airfix kit for the Bristol Blenheim Mk.1, so a little research confirmed that the Blenheim took part in the Phoney War. In my [...]
I completed the Saburo Sakai autobiography “SAMURAI !” some time ago and it was a very enjoyable read. The publication has been around for quite a while, my Balentine Book edition was printed in 1957 with a posted price of 50 cents! [...]
This AH-1F/S Cobra a simple build, perhaps a bit too simple as the engine is only two parts split down the middle which makes clean up a bit challenging. As with the vintage Monogram kits raised panel lines are present and accounted for [...]
Finally got around to snapping some pics of my 1:48 Fairey Battle. I found it to be a good build without issue. Landing gear is a bit shaky so handle with care. Never realized how big a critter it was! This is one of the reasons why I [...]
