1/48 Mitsubishi A5M4 Claude – Empire of Japan Group Build.

This is the 2016 Fine Molds kit. I can’t speak highly enough about its quality. It’s an outstanding kit in every way. Feel free to check out my build log in the EoJ group build section and you’ll see how nice it is. The Claude was [...]

Throwback Thursday: OS2N-1

Monogram OS2U converted to an N-1 by saying N instead of U. It might be more complicated then that, but yolo. The Naval Aircraft Factory took on building Kingfishers after Vought was told to focus on Corsairs in '42. This one served with [...]

First two builds of 2021

The Tiger and the Skyray are my first two builds of 2021. Originally started back in December, these two kits were built almost simultaneously. They also hold the distinction of being the second and third kits completed in my new model [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-47M

Hello! This is my first finished project this year, the very well known and praised Tamiya P-47 1/48 kit. Nothing to add, really, a superb kit. Only some small stencils did not behave well and...disintegrated. C'est la vie! Since these [...]

Kitty Hawk UH-1H Huey

Hello iModeler! This is my Kitty Hawk Huey kit finished as a Vietnam War era aircraft using Werner's Wings decals. Typical Kitty hawk kit with typical Kitty Hawk issues, but it is still the BEST Huey kit in this scale by far, and I would [...]

Hello again iModeler! Here is my Trumpeter T-38C Talon, built completely OOB. This was a fun kit and I had no problems with it during construction. I purchased and built this kit last summer, so it did not stay idle in my stash for long. [...]
