Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

The Prodigal Scale Modeler

This is the first model I've finished in 15 years. To my credit, the last one I finished, a super-detailed 1/20 Tamiya Tyrrell P-34, won a 1st in category and a special award at the 2005 IPMS Nationals in Atlanta Georgia. But that was also [...]

1/32 Hasegawa P-40M Kittyhawk Mk.III

This is my recently finished 1/32 Hasegawa P-40(M) Kittyhawk Mk.III with the markings of GA M FR864 from RAF 112 Sqn North Africa 1943. Cockpit enhanced by Eduard PE set. I have used Eduard’s Exhaust and Wheel sets. Paints are Gunze [...]

Bell X-1, Eduar 1/48

Tamiya 1:48 Scale, P-38G, "Lightning"

Just a little more weathering and I'll call her finished. Probably the best engineered model kit of all time...my opinion, but if you've built one or are building one, then I think you know what I am talking about. I will not go into [...]
