Hasegawa 1/49 Arado 234B-2/N `Nachtigall´

A complex model by Hasegawa depicting Arado's night fighter developed during the final months of the War.

The ‘rocket with a pilot’, well, ‘with two pilots’, in this case! TF-104G Starfighter, Aeronautica Militare

This model was created as a farewell gift for a long-time acquaintance: he is the owner of the penultimate pure modelling shop in my home town. He will be retiring in the foreseeable future and his modelling shop will be closing its doors [...]

Dogs of War: 1/48th Revell F-86D Dog Sabre

Every once in a while you find a kit that was better than expected, case in point for me: the 1/48th Revell F-86D Dog Sabre. My kit builds into an early F-86D (without the braking parachute) although the version with the parachute housing [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Do 335A Pfeil

The clean lines of the Pfeil makes Tamiya's kit a pleasure to build and the authentic look of the model when completed. The only criticism I have is the rather modular design of cockpit components and the instrument decal.

Monogram 1/48 A-26C Invader "Jersey Bounce"

1/48 Monogram A-26C "Jersey Bounce" 90th Bomb Squadron, 3rd Bomb Group. Korea 1952 I started this ages ago after finding it for super cheap online with an Eduard interior set thrown in with the listing. Grad school, work, and [...]

Yalovlev Yak-15 "Feather"

This kit is made by Pioneer 2 in 1/72 scale of the Yak-15 "Feather." It was first released in 1988 and it is a very simple, basic kit. It has also been boxed by Matchbox and PM Model. The Yak-15 is one of the Soviets early jet [...]

P-47M-1RE MiniArt

Finally finished up the MiniArt P-47D-30 as a P-47M-1RE of the 56th Fighter Group aka Zemke's Wolfpack. Thanks Louis@lgardner for the Tamiya decals. Raided my Tamiya bubbletop Jug for the M prop. Used a Quickboost resin C series R-2800 [...]

ICM 1/48 Spitfire LF VIII

The model represents a Spitfire that was flown from Sardinia and southern France by F/Lt A.W. Guest. The aircraft was assigned to No. 43 Squadron on July 13, 1944. MT714 was written off on March 14, 1946.

'Ford'

So here's a thing, IMO, the Skyray is one of the most beautiful looking aircraft ever to fly, simple as that. Ok, so I have two of the still excellent Tamiya 1:48 kits in my stash and I really want to make them look as different as [...]
