Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The Bristol M.1C was the only British monoplane fighter of the Great War, of which only 125 were built. Most of these aircraft were used for training, but a few squadrons were stationed in Macedonia and Mesopotamia towards the end of the [...]
I have reached an age where the parts in 1/72 kits are both too small to see and assemble, so I don't normally stray into the smaller scale kits. I recently received this Arma Hobby 1/72 FM-2 as a gift from my friend Bernard (@lis), so I [...]
I would like to share with you my first attempt to build a WW1 plane. It is WNW's Hannover Cl. II "White 2" , Bayerische Fliegerschule 5, as I really liked the colour scheme (and the large lozenge decals for the other versions [...]

This is the Eduard kit from 2014. It’s the second tooling of this plane that Eduard did. The first tooling was the very first full kit that Eduard produced in 1993. The two kits have nothing in common. This was a real pleasure to [...]
This is my PREVIEW of the IPMS USA review of the ClearProp F-86A. A decent kit with some 'Caveats' but it is nice to see the early version kit in 1/48 ...and soon in 1/72! Bravo CleaProp.
Here is the link to my more Extensive IPMS USA [...]
The successful Beechcraft Bonanza manufactured since the late 40s found its way to Israel during the Independence War. A South African volunteer that became one of the founders of the young Israeli Air Force flew his Bonanza across Africa [...]
As Captain Terry Martin of the 562nd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing told me when I visited the wing at George AFB in May 1982 on assignment from Air Force Magazine to do an article on the Wild Weasels, [...]
