Revell Junkers Ju 290A-4

Ju 290A-4 W.Nr. 110165 was originally assigned to 5 FAGr on long-range reconnaissance flights supporting U-boat operations in the Atlantic. As the Allies pushed into France many 5 FAGr aircraft were transferred to KG 200, the [...]

Academy 1/48 Mig 21FM India Air Force

Although not accurate in outlines, Academy's Mig 21 still makes and attractive looking model given the variety of colorful camouflage schemes that the aircraft adorned in Air Force units throughout the world.

Seaking UH.5 (Airfix 1/48)

Airfix A11006 Really a top model to ride... The decals are thin and apply easily Just missing the masks and 2 pilot figurines and it would be 20/20! Manque juste les masques et 2 figurines de pilotes et ce serait le 20/20 ! See [...]

Tempest

Bought this on impulse at my local (only) toy shop a couple of months ago... at one point I thought about giving it away, but I'm glad i didn't. Like the wee Jet Provost, this - IMHO - is a future Airfix classic. It's a gem of a kit, build [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 TF-104G Italian Starfighter

Hasegawa's excellent Starfighter adorned with Aires cockpit and Martin Baker ejection seats.

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. The spectacular look of the aircraft in the Champlin Collection was an inspiration for me. At that time, the aircraft was displayed following the first restoration effort consisting of [...]

Revell 1/48 P40 B Flying Tiger

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1

The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.

1/72 HELLER DC-6B

I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]

Junkers Ju 290 A-5 "Seeadler"

Here’s my build of the Revell Ju-290 A-5 in 1:72. Not my scale, but I have quite a few subjects in 1:72 (or smaller) that interest me. I picked up this big beast at the local hobby shop on impulse a couple of years ago and finally got [...]
