Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The inspiration for this project was the photo of torpedoes being loaded onto Helldivers of VB-2 on the U.S.S. Hornet. The aircraft in the photo is the SB2C-1C version of the Helldiver, and since I had a Pro-Modeler SB2C-4 kit that I had [...]
Making a wooden mold was easy to make, so I could "vac-u-form" my windscreen, canopy and half-round side windows. As a child of around 6 year old, we neighborhood boys all had "pen-knives" and use to sit around an [...]
Hallo to everyone, I’m a lazy modeler. If I work on a hard project for a long time (many changes, conversions in new models...), then I need a break.

My latest is the Academy reboxing of AM's P-51B, and represents" Missouri Mauler" flown my Captain Willard Milllikan of the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group. He was involved in a mid-air collision with a wing mate while [...]
The second kit I've got to share today is Trumpeter's A-37B Dragonfly, or Super Tweet as it is often called. I love the look of this plane, not only because of it's form, but also because despite it's diminutive size, it was all business. [...]
