Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I built this model from Revell kit number 5629 to honor my Uncle Harold Fox Jr.. He was the ball turret gunner aboard the aircraft when it was shot down over Austria in May of 1944. He bailed out and survived. I did a lot of research to [...]
This is the new Dora Wings kit. Truly something that I didn’t think we would see molded to this high of a standard. This is the third Dora Wings kit that I’ve built and was the most enjoyable of the trio. The P-43 and Vengeance were [...]
I really enjoyed this coming together, well, except for all those flaming stencils.
Yes they are all on and I totalled the time out at 10 1/2 hrs for the main fuselage ones alone.
There were one or two tricky moments with the intakes [...]
This kit from Special Hobby sure has it's challenges. Most difficult part was connecting the wings to the fuselage as the fitting was quite dramatic.

Hope you like it.

1/48 Tamiya kit, Fightertown "Pukin' Dogs Last Ride" decals. Pain-free as far as assembly goes, but do be mindful of aligning the wing-sweep teeth otherwise you'll end up like I did: the wings will over-sweep aft and never be [...]
Recently completed Revell 1/48th B-25J for my D-Day scheme. Added a pre-assembly photo (pic2) and some maintenance equipment from some other kits. Overall the model is well detailed with some trouble spots. The nose, wings and the engine [...]
Most recent off the bench is this old AMT P-40 kit. Not really sure they ever offered a M model, but some of their P-40 kits included a fuselage for an E as well as one for the N. The N model had the fuselage extended by 13 inches. Use the [...]
