Hasegawa 1/48 TF-104G Italian Starfighter

Hasegawa's excellent Starfighter adorned with Aires cockpit and Martin Baker ejection seats.

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. The spectacular look of the aircraft in the Champlin Collection was an inspiration for me. At that time, the aircraft was displayed following the first restoration effort consisting of [...]

Revell 1/48 P40 B Flying Tiger

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1

The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.

1/72 HELLER DC-6B

I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]

Junkers Ju 290 A-5 "Seeadler"

Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat

During the 60s, the USN sought a long range high performance interceptor to defend its fleet. For this Fleet Air Defense (FAD) aircraft and in favor of versatility, the Navy was directed by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara to [...]

Airfix Avro Lancaster Mk.II 1/72

This is the Airfix Avro Lancaster Mk. II, representing "Zombie" from 408 Sqn. in 1944. Painted with AK interactive acrylics, some pencils for weathering and a panel line wash from Ammo Mig. A matte coat at the end. I was looking [...]

Amtech 1/48 P-40M Kittyhawk Mk.III

The venerable Ertl kit re boxed by AMtech depicting an iconic 112 Sq. aircraft that was the first to use the shark teeth emblem in North Africa.

P-40B "Pearl Harbor" 1/48th Airfix

I have always liked the P-40 in all its variations, although I do think I like the earlier variants better, like I do for the P-38. When I saw the Airfix kit and read the reviews I knew I wanted to build one. Unfortunately I am trying to [...]
