Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This model represents a Defiant NF.I of No. 264 Sqn. flown by Sqn. Ldr. Philip Saunders, amongst others, between December 1940 and February 1941. I picked this scheme for the unusual fuselage roundel.
Mid war theory held that wars would [...]
This is my latest completed model. Eduard's Spitfire range is great in 1/48, 1/72 even in 1/144, but my copy of this legendary fighter was full of surprises... The surface of the kit was greasy and cellulite looking. Sanding, sanding...The [...]
The Airplane:
By the end of November, 1950, the Navy knew that its main fleet fighter, the Grumman F9F-2 Panther, was seriously outclassed by the opposition. LCDR William T. Ament of VF-112 had shot down the first MiG-15 confirmed by the [...]
This is my commission build for a friend of Lt. Richard W. Lander's family who flew this aircraft while assigned to the 315th FS, 324th FG, in North Africa, 1943. As most P-40 builders know this kit needs a few modifications to represent a [...]

It is big bird, looking either elegant and weird. It was planned as turboprop-powered heavy attack fighter for US Navy carrier decks in 1950s.
However, Navy did not allowed the plane to operate due to troublesome power unit and due to its [...]
This is my entry into the Falkland's War group build - the new-tool Airfix A-4. Built OOB except for the replacement of the spine aerial and the addition of fin loop aerials to convert from a B to a P, and the addition of a TER to handle [...]
Hi everyone!
This is my Revell/Matchbox 1/72 T-2E Buckeye, finished as a HAF bird.
Still the only training jet aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force , it’s high reliability and excellent, forgiving flight characteristics (it easily recovers [...]
The Bf109g series was the most produced variant of the Bf109 fighter. It has been a popular subject in scale modeling. Scalemates lists 256 kits--126 in 1:72 scale--starting with a 1959 Airfix kit. I thought it would be interesting do a [...]
This post will be quick and dirty, just like this build. The kit itself is very simple, as is the airframe. It does have a nice petite coke-bottle shape that most can appreciate, and the model itself scream petite when you pick it up. It [...]
