KD-6 Intruder, Italeri 1/72
Just finished this beautiful and one of my favorites airplanes, the famous Intruder in KD version; had to fill some gaps but was a fun build.
This KD-6 kit by Italeri is highly recommended
Enjoy the pictures.
Movie Star Mosquito
I built this Mosquito for the De Havilland Group Build. There are a lot of great choices of planes to build for this group, but I wanted to be a little creative in my choice. One of my favorite flying movies is 633 Squadron, which is [...]
General Dynamics EF-111A (Academy 1/48)
This kit has been in my stash since the 1990’s. Some significant work was required to reinforce and clean up the front/rear fuselage join. Without internal reinforcement, there’s too much flex and too little area for glue to adhere [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Jug – “Little Chief”
This is the second model I've built since restarting my hobby after a nearly 40 year recess. The subject of this attempt was the excellent Tamiya 1:48 Razorback P-47 Thunderbolt. I really wanted to build the "Spirit of Atlantic [...]
Piper L-4 Cub / Grasshopper – Směr 1/48
I bring you a recently completed model that took neither much time, nor much effort, but which has produced a cool little airplane.
To begin, I bought this kit after seeing one in person at an airshow last month. The airshow (or fly-in) [...]
