Hobbyboss 1/48 F8F-1 Bearcat

the Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat came on the scene too late to serve the U.S. Navy in WW11.. they were on the carriers halfway across the Pacific when the war with Japan ended...it was the fastest thing Grumman ever came up with to that point and [...]

F-16C HAF 068 1/48 Tamiya

F-16c 1/48 from tamiya. Beatiful kit with no putty at all. I had to put parassute resin because the kit does not have Painted with AK Ghost colours and winsor varnish

Scrappy Scooter! 1/72 Hobby Boss A-4E Skyhawk

OOB. If you’ve built the Hasegawa Scooter, this is pretty much the same but in 1/72. It’s just missing the deployed slats. Why won’t anyone do this?!?

Williams Brothers 1/48 Ford Flivver

Hi All, This is a delightful little kit. I added a lap belt, instrument bezels, some stretched sprue rigging for the tail and spark plug leads. You could probably do it in a weekend but I took a bit longer because as usual life got in the [...]

Yakovlev Yak-28-64, Anigrand 1/144

The Yakovlev Yak-28-64 is a truely exotic airplane. Designed in competition with the Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon, the protoype was difficult to fly and the project soon ended with only one plane ever flown. Few pictures can be found in the [...]

Airfix 1/48 Curtis H81-A3 (P-40B Tomahawk)

This is a nice kit but my problems started when I decided to put the Aires cockpit in it. It was not that great of an improvement to the kit parts and it was too wide. I sealed the fuselage and inserted it as a unit up through the wing [...]
