Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Latest off the bench as part of Jeffrey Kolln's @421stwidow Night Fighter Group is Cpt Eugene Derrickson's VMF(N)-513 Corsair. The -5 Corsair was considered the ultimate model in the Corsair line, with the -5N adding a radar dome, extra [...]
This is the old but still the best, Monogram kit. The last time I built one of these was when it came out in 1979. This one was made from a 2008 Revell release, made in China. Since Revell’s bankruptcy, I’ve noticed that a lot of [...]
My father always liked but avoided this camo because he thought it would be hard to do with the airbrush. Back in 2013 he took the challenge and it wasn´t as hard as he had feared.
Used a Hasegawa G-2 kit from their old "J" [...]
This was a quick build of Tamiya's beautifully engineered Ki-61-Id Hien kit in 1/48 scale which I bought on a work trip to Tokyo years ago and have only just got around to building now that lockdowns are over and I can access my workshop [...]

Painted it in prototype style, some metal some primer some [...]
It's certain that there are a large number of modelers who have Revell's big 1/48 F-89D/J Scorpion sitting on the Shelf of Doom. Here's a reason to drag it out and set to work.
Chad Summers (Flying S Models) has created a 3D-printed resin [...]
