Matchbox 1/72 North American T-2 C/E "Buckeye"

Another "oldie" , built OOB, just because I like the unusual paint scheme. It's been re-popped by Revell, and is still available. It is a very basic kit, more fun to paint than to build.While it wasn't much of a challenge to [...]

Ryan STM, A50-2, 3 Communications Unit RAAF 1942.

1/72 MPM, I replaced and added a few things, exhausts from sprue, pitots and bracing from brass wire, air scoops from alloy foil, finished in Humbrol and MM enamels with Future and Micro flat over kit decals.

LaGG-3 in winter colors (Roden 1/72)

Winter LaGG-3 series 35 in 1/72 scale. Original kit by Toko, produced by Roden nowadays. This is an old kit back from the late 90s. The kit quality is far, far from good – it took me two months to get it done. Completely not suitable as [...]

An update to “What do you do the day after you get a tooth pulled?… You build a crazy build!”

Hi Folks; A few weeks back I posted a build that I did in a day. I got a tooth pulled so it was either doing the build or binge watching "Grey's Anatomy" on Netflix. A few days back I found a few Spanish Ejercito del Aire (Air [...]

Hasegawa 1/72 E7K1 Type 94 Alf

This was a fairly straight forward build. It did require thinking through the final assembly and rigging sequence to make sure I could handle the model carefully while getting all the fiddly bits and rigging installed. Because I used after [...]

Brengun 1/72 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Floatplane

I just finished this for the Water Wings group build. It's the Brengun kit with the brengun Photoetch set for the cockpit and the ladder on the side. I also took the exhaust and oil cooler from a sword spitfire kit. The paints are all [...]

DC-3 OLYMPIC AIRWAYS, ITALERI 1/72

This is a OOB build with hand made decals.I hope you like it

Monogram 1/48 Messerschmitt Me-262 “Red 17”

The Me-262 is, hand's down, my all-time favorite aircraft. I really love them! In fact, when the "Stormbird Project" was building its replicas, I got in touch with them about volunteering. (link) Unfortunately, the commute from [...]
