Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A really nice kit except for the decals, they fought me all the way. I think these are at the change-over when Eduard changed the decals to a peal off film.I learned the hard way when I started with the swastikas.They grabbed like [...]
It took a long wait until I found a model without (horrendous) shipping costs. By far, my favorite Monogram model. It just looks grand like the real aircraft.
One that had been on my list to do for a long time but the amount of resin that came with the kit scared me off a bit.
The kit, as we all know, has fit issues but with the help of a number of build threads I was forewarned of the areas of [...]
Although this 2004 kit is boxed as a 1/48th Monogram F-4E Phantom II, the plastic mold is actually the 80s Hasegawa F-4E. I built this aircraft in the markings of 68-0338 which had two MiG kill markings on the splitter plate. The victories [...]
This was a challenging model, mostly because I had so many fit issues. But, this particular Kitty Hawk model's reputation proceeds itself, wow! I went with the VFC-111 Sundowners U.S. Navy version, and free-hand airbrushed the desert [...]

Here is my interpretation of the Nakajima Ki.84 of Major Koki Kawamoto (8 kills), HQ Chutai of the 50th Sentai in 1/32nd scale. This aircraft was based in Phnom Penh, Indochina in 1945. All the markings, including the lightning bolts, [...]
Revell's 109G-6 with Erla canopy depicting Schwarze 14, pilot and W.Nr. unknown of 8./JG1 at Detmold, Germany in February 1944. Decals are EagleCal.
Today, I would like to upload a biplane I adore, the British Royal Navy's Swordfish. This is Tamiya's 1/48 Swordfish Mk I floatplane. Normally, I avoid 1/48 scale due to space constraints, but my desire to build this aircraft won out, and [...]
The origins of the Mirage 2000 can be traced back in 1965, when France and Britain agreed to develop the "Anglo-French Variable Geometry" (AFVG) swing-wing aircraft. Two years later, France withdrew from the project on grounds of [...]
