Academy 1/48 MiG-21 MF Fishbed J, Syrian Air Force, 1982 Lebanon War

This is a pretty good kit which goes together without problems. There's a bit of a step between the the front and rear fuselage sections that I wished I had paid more attention to. I used Eduard wheels and the AirRes cockpit set. I also [...]

Italeri 1/72 OA-10A NAIL FAC

During my USAF career, I had the honor and pleasure to fly the A-10 Wart Hog for twelve years. It was a joy to fly…and to say that shooting the GUN was a thrill is an understatement. I built this kit for an old fighter pilot friend of [...]

North American P-51H MustangModelsvit 1/48

As an addition to Eric's recent post and lovely California ANG built P-51H, I'd like to finally share my Texas ANG P-51H, built completely OOB, with exception of the use of Eduard belts. I began this build back in Oct/Nov, and had at the [...]

1/32 Trumpeter P-40F Warhawk “El Tigre”

Yet another one from the pandemic isolation days. This is 1/32 Trumpeter P-40F Warhawk “El Tigre” (41-14245) tactical code “87” from 66th FS / 57th FG Sicily 1943. The kit’s top curve of the nose is off, it is not as it needs to [...]

1/72 Revell F4U-4B

Revell's quite recent kit of the F4U-4 which has some short cuts and emmisions due to being offered as both an F4U-1 and F4U-4. I didn't bother with most of the inaccuracies and built the kit mostly out of the box. The overall shape [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate

While I've a pretty extensive Luftwaffe library, I got ZIP on the pacific, so this is a truly OOB build- kit decals (Grrr... thick Hinomarus 🙁 ), no A/M, not even an Eduard mask! JAAF Green is Tamiya which performed brilliantly, most [...]

Modelsvit 1:48 P-51H ANG

The P-51H was the last and a completely different version of the Mustang, redesigned in an effort to reduce weight and increase speed. Tom Cleaver built this Modelsvit kit back in January and has the P-51H’s history down plus some good [...]

Tamiya 1/32 Scale P-51D with aluminum skin Part 1

Hello fellow modelers! Well i'm at it again with the aluminum skin builds. As you can see I am well under way on this P-51D from Tamiya. Great kit so far, few little fit issues but nothing crazy. Scratch built the seat cushion some wiring [...]

Boeing 777-31H/ER "Emirates"

Greetings all, My latest completion is Zvezda's 1/144th scale Boeing 777-300ER finished in Emirates colours courtesy of 26-Decals. This kit is an absolute joy to build, with no filler required. Levels of detail are great and a huge step [...]
