F6F Hellcat – 1:32 Hasegawa

First, let me say this—I originally wanted to title this post, “To Hell with this F6!” But, thought our web site benefactors wouldn’t appreciate it. However, my fellow builders, this kit was anything but fun. Maybe its because [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51B “Ole II”

Here's my favorite Monogram kit of all time, the 1/48 P-51B. Over the years I must have built at least six of these (with another 5 in the stash). It is the original mold kit, not the Pro-Modeler re do that came later. It was built pretty [...]

Kitty Hawk F2H-2 Banshee

This is the Kitty Hawk F2H-2 done almost OOB, using kit decals. I added Furball canopy decals, along with a scratched metal pitot. Reading the reviews of this KH kit is not very much fun, because they highlight a lot of problems that this [...]

F-104C Starfighter in Vietnam

Hi folks, This is a cool new site. It has inspired me to add a little article. I'm building Italeri's 1/32 F-104C. It's a decent kit but lacks the refinement and detail you might find with some other manufacturers. I was drawn to the [...]

WIP giving up on Bf109 Engine!

Here is the attempted engine of my Airfix 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7. I decided to super detail the engine but airfix really doesn't give you an accuratley moulded engine to work from. I scratchbuilt many details on my own but the [...]
