P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit

This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]

Revell 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

This is my latest off the bench and one that gave me lots of problems. Most if not all of the issues were self inflicted. The kit supplied cockpit is OK but wanting more I found a True Detail set a.k.a. Victor, that I was really happy [...]

1/72 REVELL Canadair CL-415

Really not much to say about this kit. Not a bad kit, but decals are frustrating. Would have never bought it if I didn't get this idea for this mini diorama. Water and fire effects made out of silicone, isolation foam and cotton.

Russian mig-31

Today I have for you this Mig-31 from zvezda. This is an old model. it was my second paint job with the airbrush. The kit is really simple to build. Let me know If you like it!?

Real aluminum paneled Italeri 1/32nd scale F-104CBuild in progress!

Hello, guys! The IJN experimental fighter Shin-den (literally, “Magnificent Lightning") made its maiden flight on August 3, 1945, about 10 days before Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces in WW2. Although this aircraft of the [...]

An English Racing Plane

While surfing the web, I found this first photo, then the second one and being an "air racing" modeler, I just had to have it. The kit parts had next to no flashing and all the "fits" were next to perfect, except for [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Hs 129B-2

A very good kit, especially considering it's age. A lazy paint job on my part... no effort at topside shading/weathering, etc. I'm not such a fan of the Eastern front or Schlachtgeschwaderen, but it's a twin and not something you see [...]

North American T-6G / Israeli Air Force

The North American Aviation T-6 is an advanced American single engine training aircraft used to train pilots from the United States and more than 60 other countries. I am particularly passionate about this plane, mainly for its use in the [...]
