Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I am a fan of cold war reconnaissance aircraft and so, like some folks out there, I had the Mach 2 RB-57 kit just sitting on the shelf. I had read the reviews and new the kit's plastic was less than optimal and so it just sat there, for [...]
I had this Hasegawa ‘F-16A-Plus’ Kit 601 partially built for some time and decided to finish it, but I wasn't sure which scheme to choose for painting.
Checking my decal stash, I found 'ModelDecal' Set #74 which features F-16A J-252 [...]
My growing collection of twin boomers!... I completed this one last week in my Vampire feast...looking to do a 1/72 and 1/144 one too!
IT was a pretty nice build..no real issues BUT it does need considerable nose weight to avoid tail [...]
Two Lancaster models are presented here that differ in the engine layout and the H2S radar.
Tamiya's venerable Lancaster was criticized for the poor fit of parts, especially the engine nacelles to the wings and (wrongly) for the raised [...]
The small miniature scale of 1:144 and the experience of impressive size, which can only be handled with caution above the "airspace" of the workbench or squeezed into the limited room of an airbrush extraction cabin, do not [...]

I converted the 1/48 ICM Spitfire to the Soviet AF UT version. Their own pilot rainer.
Soviets rebuild nearly any used western aircraft type to a trainer version to help the pilots to understand the aircraft during the training.
The kit [...]
We all know the Japanese Army AF tested the FW-190A-5 aircraft.
My Idea was to create a production version build by the Nakajima company.
I used the older 1/48 Dragon kit for the project.
The wings were reengraved and converted to install [...]
This is the best kit I've ever put together, without a doubt. Beautifully engineered and produced, zero flash and no problems with any of the fit, apart from the front of the cockpit glazing being maybe half a millimetre too narrow to fit [...]
This is 1/32 Bf 110 C6 with the markings of 3U-XS from 8./JG 26 in Western desert late 1941.
I have used Revell’s Bf 110 C2/C7(ex Dragon) kit with AIMS Bf 110C-6 conversion set.
Cockpit was modified by Quinta Studio 3D resin interior [...]
