Hi fellow modelers from on the third rock from the Sun. After some mostly trial and error self-education (and many many helpful advice and help from Otto Jozsa from SBS - Thanks Otto!) here's my first 3D created aeroplane and model a Miles [...]

T-38A Talon ‘USAF Thunderbirds 1974 – 1981’ Hasegawa 1/72

This is the T-38A Talon in USAF Thunderbirds dress from 1974 through 1981. The kit is Hasegawa's A17 T-38A Kit with instructions showing the kit is basically an F-5B with its leading wing edges trimmed back. The Decals used were Microscale [...]

MPC (ex-Airfix) 1/72 Hurricane

Since my return back into this hobby last year, I basically just want to build the old kits that I had a chance to build back in the 60's to 70's. I really do not mind if it does not look perfect but I do like to see if the older kits can [...]

Revell's 1/72 B-24D Liberator

This is the very old 1/72 Revell B-24D that was first released back in 1964. This boxing was from the 1979 release (kit # 4403). I built this back in the end of 1986 and remember enjoying the build very much. I did a lot of work to bring [...]

Bf-110G-2 ZG1, "Skeletal Hand" Revell 1/48th Scale

I have always liked the Bf-110, it just has very pleasing lines to me. While it proved a general failure as a heavy escort, it still proved to be a formidable foe in other roles. I have built this kit before under a different boxing, and [...]

In Stark Contrast to The Fire Station

The same month I was arguing with that darned fire station I was also building a 1/48th scale FineMolds A5M-4 "Claude" for some much-needed relaxation. Like all recent kits from that manufacturer this one just fell together, [...]

1/72 Academy P-51 "North Africa"

I just finished the 1/72 Academy P-51 "North Africa" boxing. I think the kit had been languishing in the stash for about a decade so it was time to get it built and I kind of like the look of the Allison powered Mustangs. The [...]
