Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A complex model by Hasegawa depicting Arado's night fighter developed during the final months of the War.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
Hey Party People! Here is my recently completed Tamiya F-84G Thunderjet in 1/48 scale. I designed and cut my own masks for the nose number and roundels with mixed results. PE belt buckles from Tom Anyz were used along with Tamiya tape to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
