Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

GAF Jindivik Mk 203B

Another Jindivik? Yep. This one was photographed at the South Australian Aviation Museum in Port Adelaide, a short ride by train from Adelaide city centre. From a distance they look much the same but once you are up close you will find a [...]

1/48 Accurate Miniatures B-25D Mitchell “Tondelayo”

This is 1/48 Accurate Miniatures B-25D Mitchell finished with the markings of Tondelayo from 500th BS 345th BG in Nadzab New Guinea during 1944. Camouflage is Olive drab over Neutral grey with red cowl rings and a white stripe completely [...]

1:48 scale Eduard F6F-5 Hellcat

Here's my latest effort, Eduard's 1:48 scale F6F-5 Hellcat 'Weekend Edition' (which, ironically, took me six months to complete.) The Eduard series of 1:48 scale Hellcats were hailed as the best in scale when they were released in 2008. [...]

Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 REAF (1:48, AMG)

Here is my latest build, Hawker Sea Fury in Royal Egypt Air Force service. Honestly, this was mentioned as "build just for fun and display case". Even if I wanted, this kit is not good enough for any competition. Too many [...]

de Havilland DHC 3 Otter, A100-392, 1 Aircraft Trials Unit RAAF Woomera SA 1962.

1/72 Hobby craft, almost OOB, I added static dis-chargers, antennae and anti collision light, finished in MM enamel with Shine magic over Aussie decals from the spares box.

1/48 Monogram TBD-1 Devastator

First, this is not a Midway Group build model. It is however one of the first Navy kits I wanted to build back in 2010 when I re-started my interest in this hobby. Build mostly straight out of the box, but did add some PE belts, some [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F4U-4 Corsair, NAS Miami

It's been a while since I have posted an article with a completed build here on Imodeler. I have been very busy lately, with the Midway group build, and some projects going on out in the work shop. The other day my wife and I were in [...]

Monogram McDonnell-Douglas F-15C Eagle

This is another older build, circa early-mid 1990s. It had never had a photograph made until the late February session with my Me-262 at the Cameron airport. It's painted with Humbrol and Model Master enamels and built basically out of [...]
