P-51B "Shangri-La"(KP 1/72)

I've built this KP kit together with the Arma Hobby to compare the kits. KP is a very good kit, whilst it doesn't have the same detail level as the Arma Hobby, it does build easier and straightforward. Recommended.

P-51B "Evalina"(Arma Hobby 1/72)

My first Arma Hobby kit to be built. Excellent details, however it requires attention selecting the parts for your select4ed version and careful dry fitting the parts before glueing the parts. Overall a nice build.

Hurricane MK.I, "The Last of the Few" Tribute

Pilot Officer, John “Paddy” Hemingway, D.S.O., the last surviving pilot that flew in the Battle of Britain, died March 17, 2025, at the age of 105. (how appropriate for an Irishman to die on St. Patrick’s Day…God Bless Him) This is [...]

F-Toys 1/72 A6M2 Model 21

The F-Toy A6M2 Zero ain’t no freaking toy……but it can be a lot of fun. This is an impressive kit with more components than a couple of 1/32nd scale kits I’ve built. The F-Toy name may be misleading as this is no toy, with engine [...]

NORTH AMERICAN FJ-1 FURY in 1/48 scale

I had originally posted this in the F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group last year. For more details on the build, go to here: (link) HISTORY North American began designing its first jet fighter in 1944. N.A. actually created two straight-wing [...]

Eduard 1/72 MiG-15 bis N. Korea

From an Eduard double kit (Czech decals, but both will end up N. Korean). First time building an Eduard kit. I have to say there is some incredible engineering, some over-engineering, and some frustrations, all in the same box! The cockpit [...]

1/72 SAAF De Havilland Vampire

Recently completed De Havilland Vampire trainer in the colors of the South African Air Force. The 1/72 Airfix De Havilland Vampire T.11 kit used was as a base with decals from Xtradecal and ResKit resin wheels. Straight forward build with [...]
