Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Revell produced a good 1/32 kit of the 262B. Yet, the definitive 262 kit in the scale requires the combination of Trumpeter's wings from their excellent 262A kit. The wings are matched with Hasegawa's old 262B kit that has the correctly [...]
ProModeler's excellent Bf-110G with Aires detail kits.
After 20 or more years, I’m just going to share what I’ve got done so far. The plan was to have an open canopy, but my eyes refuse to coordinate with my fingers on making the canopy cord.
I started this s****r at the height of my AMS [...]
Although not free of glitches and requires a considerable attention during construction, Hasegawa's Nick represents a model painter's paradise. The main construction issue is the fit between the wings and fuselage. I cut the flaps' panel [...]
I took a long break from the resin Macchi M39 because I'm having trouble with boot alignment... I've been building another Corsair, the second from Magic Factory. I chose the unusual subject of Ike Kepford 😉 that others on this forum [...]
A little easy kit from Revell 🙂 the instructions are not correct to build this option (the MK58 has some diferences), but all the pieces are in the box, although listed as 'not to use' so, one just need to do some research.
I built this [...]
With all its short falls concerning mostly with fit issues, Hasegawa's Lightning is very convincing.
While not as famous as Spitfire, Hurricane formed the backbone of Royal Air Force early in the war and was used throughout the conflict in all major theatres in various roles. It was designed in 1930s by Hawker and made its maiden flight [...]
For the recent F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury group build, I chose markings of one of the top U.S. aces of the Korean War: Maj. James Jabara. I used Warbird Decals 48027 Korean War F-86s, Part 2 and 48027 F-86F Common. You need both sheets.

My favorite Dragon kit is the Mistel Fw 190A-8 and Ju 88G-1 combination. The model depict a Mistel captured by the American forces that was used for training. Hence, the Junkers was piloted without the warhead.
