Hasegawa 1/48 J35F/J Draken

Hasegawa's Draken is a very nice kit without building complications that looks like the real aircraft.

De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth / Queen Bee - Raul Hrubisko - 1/72

Hi to all, I want to share the final photos of our latest project. The De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth series. My father made all of them while I was doing the research behind each model. As always we would like to thank all the people who [...]

Colonel John S. Chennault's 'Bengal Tiger' P-40E, Adak, Alaska.

This is another Amtech 1/48 P-40E Warhawk, built at the same time as the Robert L. Scott one (Claire Chennault 'gifted' the former to Scott, and his son flew this one!). Every one of the 11 FS, 343 FG aircraft had a slightly different [...]

Viermot Jäger: Erich Hondt Fw 190 A-5 U/12 - 2.JG/11

Here’s my latest completion, Eduard FW 190 A-5 weekend box with a bundle option of the special (and very short lived in operational use) U/12 2x20mm cannon underwing pod, of their Brassin range. Unlike the plastic, the Brassin set is a [...]

1/48 ICM B-26 Marauder

Here is my 1/48 ICM B-26 Marauder. I did a full review for IPMS USA: (link) A decent kit with nice modern tooling over the older Monogram kit. IT is NOT w/o its faults. The fuselage halves fit are a bit tricky esp. if one wants to [...]

Albatros D.III, 1:32, Roden, Lt. Karl Emil Schäfer, Jasta 28, 30 victories

I saw two nicely built Roden D.III Albatross here recently and I liked them so much I thought I'd build one too. I chose the less presented coloring of the ace Emil Schäfer. I modified a nice looking engine with pipes, cables, spark plugs [...]

1/48 P-40E Warhawk, Colonel Robert L. Scott

This is the Amtech (AMT) P-40E Warhawk, finished as 'Old Exterminator' of Col. Robert L. Scott of the AVG. While the kit itself is an easy build, to bring it up to acceptable standards requires a resin cockpit, wheels, seat, photo etch [...]

The Mil Mi-6 ‘Hook’, a truly record-breaking giant!

The heavy transport helicopter presented here not only occupies a special place among Soviet designs, but also stands out among all rotorcraft designs of its time. From the time of its first flight in June 1957, this giant was the largest [...]

State Partnership...1/48 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, 134th FS "Yellow Scorpions", Vermont ANG "The Green Mountain Boys"

Most modern aircraft my dad has built so far Meng kit, main markings with Caracal decals, stencils are a mix of the kit and Caracal ones. Overall not a bad kit. The new Tamiya kits may be superior but also twice the price... Main colour [...]
