Messerschmitt Bf109 E-7/B, Eduard 1/48 scale
Finally, a 109 in the collection. I've always admired the graphic design of the Wespen, and many decades ago I had a 1/72 Hasegawa kit that never quite made it to the finish line. So when I saw this Eduard version in a slightly less fiddly [...]
AmTech 1/48 P-40L
A very nice kit by AmTech with resin nose depicting an aircraft serving in the 99th FS, 79th FG "tuskegee airmen" in Italy during 1944. The aircraft was piloted by 1st Lt. Herman "Ace" Lawson.
Here is a comment that I [...]
Head-to-Head Broncos, Academy & ICM
I tried another head-to-head comparison build of a vintage and a recent new tool kit; this time 1/72 scale OV-10A kits. I built the venerable Academy kit originally issued in 1999 and the 2023 ICM kit. The OV-10 is a distinctive iconic [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk

In spite of the difficulties involving fit issues common to all Dragon's Ju-88 variants, the final outcome of the Avenger is worthy the build efforts.
Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ Aggressor
One just cannot get enough of the sublime Tamiya Falcon.
Eduard 1/48 Airco DH2
Eduard's weekend edition of the Airco DH2 is a very nice kit without building complications. Although the rigging is perfuse, I found a solution to ease the rigging process. I used stiff copper wires that come out of isolation mesh of [...]
1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw-200C-4 'Condor'
Greetings all!
Here's my summer holidays project - the Trumpeter 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw-200C-4 Condor.
I started this kit with the intention of it being some light relief and a relatively quick and simple build as a nice break from the [...]
ProModeler/Monogram 1/48 A-26B Invader
In spite of inaccuracies in shape and raised panel surface texture, Monogram's Invader is a comfortable build that retains the characteristic features of the aircraft.
