Some of my work over the years
Have been modeling for over 40 years. Have been doing aircraft, ships, big trucks, and sometimes cars. The cars really kick my butt though. Here is a link to my websites: (link) . Enjoy the pics...
iModeler Aviation
Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Tamiya 1/48 F-4U-1 Corsair
Marine Fighting Squadron 213 (VMF-213) was formed on July 1, 1942 at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, Hawaii and was a reserve fighter squadron in the United States Marine Corps. The squadron left Ewa on February 21, 1943 and arrived at [...]
1/72 MPM XP-55 Ascender
In 1939, the US Army issued Proposal R-40C seeking unconventional aircraft designs that would achieve superior performance, armament, and pilot visibility over existing models. Specifically, the aircraft would need to operate from a [...]
Fiat Cr.42 Falco , Major Tito Falconi, CO 23rd Sqn. 1940 Sicily
1:48 Italeri
All was going quite well until the top wing had to go on. The locating 'male' nipples on the ends of the struts were ~ 0.3 mm deep, almost pointless. Combine that with struts that were probably from different kits and you get [...]

Oil paint weathered
Fiat G.50bis-AS, Capt.T de Prato CO 150 Sqn. 2nd Groupo Autonomo, 1941
Flying Machines 1:48
Awful kit!
Lots of flash++
Mould step
Cowling no where near correct...should be closer to the fuselage. Not possible to move forward as the rear upper lip would have to go and it would have risen up into the path of [...]
1:48 Eduard P-51 Mustang & FW-190 Dogfight Diorama
Prior to the whole pandemic kerfuffle I had an idea to build a dogfight diorama. I purchase the two Eduard Profi-PACK kits back in 2020 and promptly put them on the shelf until the time was right. After a little research I knew the Mustang [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Ki-44-II Hei Shoki
Here are some photos of my recently completed 1/48 Hasegawa Ki-44-II Hei. First released in 1995, I think, this is the newest 1/48 scale Shoki kit available, so if you’re listening, scale model industry, it’s about time for a modern [...]
RAAF Kittyhawk P-40E.
The role of the RAAF Kittyhawks in the defence of Milne Bay in 1942 has been well documented elsewhere & this particular aircraft was in the thick of it with 75 Squadron. Apparently flown for the most part by Flying Officer Geoffrey [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 Wyvern S. Mk. 4
The Aircraft:
The Second World War saw the development in naval aviation of a single-seat strike fighter concept that performed both fighter-bomber and torpedo-strike. In the U.S. Navy, this ed to the Douglas Skyraider, one of the most [...]
