Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I wanted to model a between-the-wars (WWII and Korea) Naval aircraft and decided on the night-fighting Hellcat. For the markings, I selected the USMC squadron VMF(N)-114 with the underlined modex 'LK'. the underline was dropped sometime in [...]
Thought I would pass this on.

This project took a few left turns. I had secured two Hasegawa F-15C kits over the years, either from ebay or from vendors at model shows. A few years back I saw a DMX decal set for Japanese F-15 aggressors, as the color schemes really [...]
I built this model to attend GB about Mediterranean Conflicts in our local model club, focused in Tripoli, Libya, January 1942.
The Heller kit was originally released around the early 70s. Parts are still sharply molded and fit together [...]
1/48 Copper State Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin, 16 Sqn RFC 1918. Fun, easy build with ez line fine rigging. My first build of this brand but definitely not the last. I have their other kits, but the more WW1 1/48 they bring out, the more I'll do. ?

Info indicated the markings are of L.Cmdr. Egusa's Val 'BI-231' from the Carrier Soryu with the [...]
Hello Fiends,
This time, i'm showing here a kit that I built many years ago, where my skills weren't so good yet, and still aren't (always improving and learning), but I was already mastering some camouflage with airbrush with hands free, [...]
To say that the Tamiya P-38 was a joy to build is an understatement. Having built the Academy and Hasegawa Lightning's which are good models of the P-38, just that Tamiya had really taken a rather complicated twin boom air frame and made [...]
You never know where this hobby will lead you.
Three years ago, a friend of mine, knowing I am a bit of a history nut and modeler introduced me to Vincent who resides at a local nursing home here. Vincent was a bombardier on B-24's [...]
This one was a real challenge. Apparently the molds are old and the kit had a TON of flash. Was pretty happy with how my "wood" prop turned out. I don't work much on WWI planes, but this was fun and looks nice on the ceiling [...]
