Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
1/32 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback by Trumpeter. I think the Razorback version is much nicer than the later Bubbletop. The kit is of excellent quality. In terms of price, it belongs to the cheap kits, but I was very surprised by the quality [...]
Hasegawa's Wurgers are excellent kits. Not only that they are highly detailed and accurate in dimensions, but also the fit between parts is very good and the build is free of complications.

Raiden is my favorite Japanese aircraft from the WWII era. I made it in 1/72 scale, so now it's time for a king size J2M3.
I picked up a kit from Zoukei-Mura's for it. Mainly because I wanted to try something from this manufacturer. I had [...]

This is the Roden kit which has been available for a few years. I’ve always wanted one of these in this scale and bought it when it was a brand new release. Unfortunately, the decals were useless as always with Roden products. Vintage [...]
Every airplane model airplane I’ve worked on since reigniting my modeling hobby has been of World War II vintage powered by piston engine and propellor. This latest kit is my first foray into a more modern jet age, though the subject at [...]
Tamiya kit...say no more. I've been waiting a long time to do a model of an aircraft that participated in "Operation Starkey". (link) I was originally going to buy decals for a clipped wing Mk.Vb, L⦾SH s/n W3320 as seen by [...]
