Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is the new mold Airfix C-47A in 1/72 scale. It is a fine kit in all respects, it builds up quickly and with no surprises. The interior is perfectly adequate, very little can be seen in any case and I would advise against adding [...]
This is 1/32 Pacific Coast Models Hawker Hurricane Mk.1(early) with the markings of L1909 LR-R, 56 sqn RAF North Weald, mid 1939

This was one of three F-100Fs utilized as Chase aircraft early on in the X-15 program at Edwards AFB. Flying Chase -1, it would take off with the NB-52 and fly formation during the climb out and cruise to the launch lake. The chase pilot [...]
I ran out of time to finish these 2 airliners due to the fact that someone bought our house that was "for sale." I helped my wife, son and a grandson pack up our household items in a big moving van and drove out of our driveway [...]

Let me prelude this by saying this is an older build– from 2005, in fact. It's spent the last 14 years in a box under the stairs, but this weekend I dug it out and decided to shoot some new photos of it. There are plenty of things I'd do [...]
This will be the future model of crashed Airbus A 300 DHL. This Airbus crashed while landing at the M.R Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, Slovakia. Scale: 1:144. Old Airfix model kit.
My first "Zebra" model was made in 1988, then sold a year or so later. I was going to build another one real fast but that never happened, however I built one in 1/48 scale several year's later in the mid 1990's and/or early in [...]
