F/A-18E Superhornet, VFA-31, Final Felix, Italeri 1/72.

This is the last of post WW 2 Felix rides, I hadn't really planned on doing it,not being a fan of the F/A-18, but when I saw the Two Bob decal sheet I changed my mind, I opted for the Italeri kit, being the cheapest that I could find, [...]

Academy 1/72 P-40M

Fujimi Spitfire Mk. Vb 1/48 scale

Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair, 1/48.

Man it's been a while... I picked this up at an "antique" store for a couple bucks and decided to update the paint scheme. I tried to create a stone look on the base by over-spraying Lt gray, Dk gray, black and white. I hope you [...]

Hamp Over Salomon Islands

Here is one I finished up last year ; its Hasegawa's 1/48 Ki-61-i Tei Hien . I bought it as part of a double boxing along with its sister Ki-100 I Otsu. I finished it up as a Chinese Nationalist aircraft just to have a different one from [...]

A6M2b Oita advanced Flying School

I had a desire to make an airplane in the painting of the school unit. And this is how this Zero-Sen model from the Oita flight school was created. I did an attractive painting of the lower surfaces with H24 paint. Cockpit details such as [...]
