Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 model is dedicated to the holiday on February 23 "Red Army Day", to replenish the Water Wings group build
The picture shows the "Albatros W4» flying in the sky of Sevastopol in 1919. "Albatros W4» was a rare [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
1/72 Italeri, almost OOB, finished in MM enamels with Future and MM 20000 acrylic over kit decals.
My oldest son bought this kit in the mid 90's and never built it, so I built it as a gift to him. Dragon 1/48 Fokker Dr. 1, OOB. LT. Josef Jacobs, Jasta 7, 1918, 48 kills. Pour le Merit. Tamiya paints. The first time i've used PE [...]
Finished some time ago, OOB. Colors are Gunze acrylics, decals from the box, a few things added in the cockpit. I simply love the Airfix Mosquito, somehow it looks just right to my eye. Thanks for looking, comments are always welcome!
