F-4B Phantom “Sundowners” 1:48 (Eduard / Academy)

1/48 Ryan PT-20 US Army Air Corps Trainer

Here's one for your enjoyment that's hot on the heels of my XP-51. Tonight's "Pre War" themed article is about the ancient Testors kit that I finished early last year. It was the first plane that I completed in 2016. I'm [...]

1/48 Accurate Minatures P-51A Mustang XP-51 s/n 41-039

Henschel Hs126B-1trop ICM 1/48

Another desert rat. I wouldn't call this kit terrible but it does have it's downsides, worst of which are a somewhat rough surface which lacks a lot of detail, some pretty poor engineering especially where attachment points and smaller [...]

Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt BF109F-4

1/72 Academy, my third Catalina, I modified a few things, finished in MM and Humbrol enamels with Future and Micro flat over spare decals.
