Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello, fellas!
This is the well known Tamiya Mustang finished in the “clown suit” markings - no disrespect meant to the men who flew and mantained it, it is just that the flamboyant pattern applied to the cowling reminded me of a [...]
Since I am not as young as some hobby friends, I have many recordings of the good times of Revell in Brazil, between the ages of 60's and 70's. I intend to build some models that make me return in time, as a rescue of the memory of [...]
Long time no see, finally i˙ve managed to finish something so here it is, Su-2 from ICM of Ukraine, not a very successful plane as i˙ve read in various books, but still a nice plane. The kit itself is a tipical ICM, some hard spots here [...]
This is my Tamiya 1/48 Viper in the Arctic Splinter scheme. I used pre-cut masks from www.dnmodels.com for the paint job and custom decals from www.twobobs.net. The decals come with walkway lines in black, white and grey to make it easy to [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
I found another good photo of my paint table out in our garage when I lived near Cortez, Colorado. It's about 2 feet square/610mm. I attach two 7500 daylight bulb lamps to it. I could set my turn table on the table that had the big 1/18th [...]
This is one of my longest builds (years) from start to end. I got the model from my now departed friend Mike Franklin in the mid-1990s and I finished it in 2016. The kit is the classic 1/48th Hasegawa F-15C but before the electronic [...]
