Boeing 281 (P-26) ROC Air Force 1/32 scale Hasegawa

Well the Koppos ROC Air Force has grown again. Yes, it is officially a Boeing 281, the export model P-26, of which the Chinese Government got 10. There were 12 altogether, one crashed in China and the other went to Spain, fate unknown to [...]

1/48 Hawker Hurricane IIB.

This is the excellent Hasegawa kit of 1990s vintage. I’ve wanted to do this particular Hurricane for some time and finally got the opportunity when I found this IIB on the vendor tables at a show back in June. BE171 belonged to 17 [...]

SU-7BM

Hello guys. The last model. A very old mold of Kovozavody Prostejov. Bad kit with fgs additions, resin wheels, resin seat and riveting. I hope you like it. Greetings

Convair YF2Y-1 Sea Dart, 1/72 Mach 2

1/72 Fujimi A-7B Corsair II

The LTV A-7 is a subsonic, carrier-based attack aircraft developed in the 1960’s for the U.S. Navy as a replacement for the (still relatively young) A-4 fleet. Vought based its proposal for the A-7 on its successful F-8 Crusader, with [...]

Classic Airframes 1/48 Fairey Gannet

A limited run kit with resin parts is a sure sign of ample dry fitting. Classic Airframes' Gannet is no exception. Yet. I like the looks of this big and rugged naval aircraft. The mold of plastic parts is basic. To add insult, the kit [...]

1/72 Hobby 2000/Fujimi , IAF, TA-4J, Skyhawk

Hi Everyone, Here is my: 1/72 Hobby 2000/Fujimi , IAF, TA-4J, Skyhawk

Drone junk yard, China Lake, late fifties early sixties.

I recall several modelers building Hellcat drones in the past, this is where they go if they don't get shot down or a stint as a ground target. Looks like there's pieces of a Couger in the photo.
