1/48 P-40N
This is the old AMT kit from the mid 1990s. All of the AMT P-40s are still solid kits. Each seperate version also has its issues. The cockpits are weak, but the canopies build up well in the closed position. The surface detail is very [...]
Victory 200 : F-14A, VF-84, 1986-1988.
I started this kit back in November 2016, when it was released.
As the Tomcat is a complex machine, so is every model kit of it. I worked on this off and on, fighting boredom and loss of interest for 3.5 months. It's a very, very good kit [...]
LS 1/72 G3M1 Nell
Another of my recent 1/72 builds, this time it's old LS Nell. Built basically OOB, with some additions in the cockpit. Painted with spray can silver and Gunze red and black. Wash is Tamiya. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome, as [...]
1/48 P-40B
This is the latest, and greatest P-40 kit. The brand new Airfix P-40B! What's not to like about this one? I built it out of the box including using the excellent decals provided for Lt. Welch's Pearl Harbor a/c. I mixed the cockpit's [...]

The picture shows the "Albatros W4» flying in the sky of Sevastopol in 1919. "Albatros W4» was a rare [...]
Building a Better Hornet….Improving Classic Airframe’s DH Hornet in 1/48th
I've always been intrigued by the lines of this plane, sleek and muscular at the same time. While not used in great numbers due to the rapid pace of jet powerplant development it saw extensive use in the battle against communist forces in [...]
Revell 1/48 Dornier Do 335
Next on the oddball list: This aircraft was captured by the Americans and turned over to the British. A nice kit that can be built as a single or two seater by virtue of inserts fitted over the spine. I had some fit issues here but nothing [...]
Water Wings group build
Ok, everyone, we have a week left until the deadline, so let's get those models finished! If I counted correctly, there are 14 builders, some with multiple models, in the group right now and there may be a few surprises in store. Some of [...]
BAE Systems Hawk 51, HW302, Jaska 4, Finnish Air Force Kauhava 1990.
