1/48 Fine Molds Mitsubishi Ka-14

This is my first group build for The Empire of Japan. I’m a big fan of Japanese aircraft so I thought I should join the group. I love the animation “The Wind Rises” and I didn’t know about this plane till I saw the movie. The [...]

1/72 S-3 Viking

This is the old (1978) Hasegawa S-3 Viking in 1/72, a nice kit that has aged well. Apart from the raised panel lines and over-simplified cockpit, it stands up well against current releases; the fit was amazing, trailing edges were sharp, [...]

Salem Representative Tamiya 1/48 scale P-51B Mustang

Salem Representative...Ralph Hofer had a way too short but storied history with the 8th. If you have any interest in Ralph Hofer I highly recommend Troy White's book "Last of the Screwball Aces". On July 2nd 1944, 23 year old [...]

MODEL SNOW

My last segment was written about using "Bacon Soda" for my snow and became a great learning experience. IT'S LIKE: "Would you put water in your car's gas tank to see if the engine would still operate? I"m re-sending [...]

This is my fourth and final(!) Lindberg Jenny project. It was love at first sight when I discovered the internet photos of Curtiss Jenny 4983 at the Air and Space Museum - the paint scheme, the unique markings, and the weathering all [...]

Hi everyone! This is my 1/72 Airmodel Messerchmitt Me-261 ”Adolfine” vac. The Adolfine was a long-range reconnaissance aircraft designed in the late 1930s. It looked like an enlarged version of the Messerschmitt Bf 110. It was not put [...]

Bacon Soda

My pride & joy F2G Corsair got ruined by my stupidity...I should have did an experiment before I put the soda on the model...RJW

EoJ entry: The Plane that came from a Sub- Aichi Seiran

This was my joy for the last 8 weeks or so, building a kit that although not the cutting edge of today Tamyia still bears the hallmark of this brand- an easy and straightforward build. SonI took most of that time detailing, either with [...]

Alpine Canary...1/48 Saab 91D Safir, Austrian Airforce

Like the T-6, this was also built by my dad for our homeland collection some years ago. The Tarangus kit is for a B, C and D model. But for a 100% correct D Model some minor changes have to be done, my dad did not all. The D model had a [...]
