Morko Morane

MPM's 1/48 Finnish Morko Morane of HLeLv 21 based in Rissala, Summer 1946. A real oddball this one, & some folks may already be doing a double take at this point, possibly thinking isn't that a Morane Saulnier MS 406? Well, yes it is [...]

Airfix Defiant in 1/72

Hearing of the new Airfix 1/48th Defiant NF.1., I was minded I had the recent tool 1/72 one in my stash. In fact I've been planning off and on to build this as part of my Battle of Britain series for quite some time but other projects kept [...]

1/48 Hobby Boss A-10 Thunderbolt II

This is one I built some years ago but as far as I can remember there was no problems with it. The only thing you must remember to do is to put a large weight in the nose or it will sit on its tail.

Tamiya 1/48th MiG-15 N. Korean Air Force, Korean War 1952

1/48 Hobbycraft T-33/TV-2D Naval T-bird

Hobby Boss 1/72 Northrop F-5E Tiger II

This F-5E Tiger has been built for some months although , life has gotten in the way and I have only just got around to posting it. Its a very inexpensive kit with 4 nice decals schemes including my favorite for the USMC VMFT 401 'the [...]
