F-16 Mania!ESCI 1/12th Fighting Falcon Cockpit

After my Tamiya 1/48 F-16 build earlier this year, I came across this 1/12th cockpit kit on E-Bay by ESCI. Which, I've seen before, and I figured it would complement the 1/48th build on the shelf. And given my admiration for this [...]

David's Scale Models 2022 – The Year in Review!

The year is coming to a close in just a few days. This year I completed eight builds. The first build completed was the Trumpeter 1/350 USS Hornet CV-8 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. This build was for a museum [...]

Arma Hobby Hawker Hurricane 1/72

Hi everyone, this is my Arma Hurricane made up as a RAAF aircraft. These kits are little gems in 1/72 and would recommend to anyone thinking of building in 1/72. Nice build with great details. Hope you like it. Cheers, Riccardo.

What-If Build: Northrop F/A-20C TigersharkFreedom Model Kits 1/48

Good day. As we wrap up 2022, I've been fortunate enough to have some time to wrap up one more kit. This time, I present something a bit different, a "whiffer" or what-if aircraft, an ANG "F/A-20C" Tigershark. The [...]

Fear the Bones. 1/48 Fighters of the Jolly Rogers Squadron

One of the most documented Naval fighter squadrons in all of the modeling world, I give you my builds of the vaunted Jolly Rogers. In the history of the "Bones" five squadrons have used either the designation VF-84 or the name [...]

Eduard 1/48 Grumman Hellcat 1 (F6F-3)

This is a great kit that I thoroughly enjoyed building and am reasonably happy with the results. Anything else is superfluous. It's one half of a twin boxing-still have a Hellcat 2 (F6F-5), Pacific Theatre.

1/48 USAF Thunderchief

This is my recently completed Revell -Monogram 1/48 F-105F. The last one for 2022. Although it’s a kit from long ago , it still builds up nicely and looks good collecting dust on the shelf . For such a large model it doesn’t have a [...]

ZM 1/32 A-1J Skyraider

ZM Skraider built OOB with the exception of some improvements to the Yankee Extraction System and seat. There were also one or two minor tweaks. I still however need to add a scratch 150gal tank for the starboard inner wing pylon but that [...]

Eduard P-39N Airacobra, 1/48. 'Lend-lease Ace Maker'.

I got this kit to be a bit of a quicker build and recover some mojo, and it's generally been a fun build. Whilst the kit is for American P-39Qs, the Eduard set comes with the parts for any of the versions. Foxbot and Montex was used to [...]
