Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
1/32 Hasegawa Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8 built OOB, except for an Eduard PE seat harness.
AK Interactive acrylic paints, except for the RLM 74-it was a bit light, so I used Gunze-Sangyo.
The base is from Zoukie-Mura.
Weathered with oils.
I [...]
It is just for interesting. I made this kit about nearly 20 years ago when we received a sample from AllianceModels at Model and Maquette Magazine (long defunct sadly). These kits were fairly rare even when they released (and not too high [...]
Out of the box build, having fun weathering as I like to treat it as a 3D illustration.
I've been experimenting with different techniques, pastels, graphite pencils and a paper stump.
1/48 Tamiya P-51B
"Princess Elizabeth" P-51B HO-W 42-106449 was the personal mount of Lt. William T. Whisner of the 487th FS, 352nd FG in the spring of 1944. Lt. Whisner shared a victory over an Bf109 with Major George Preddy on [...]

I asked Santa for an F-2A when it was first [...]

Yes, only a 9 1/2" wingspan! I built this as a presentation model for a buddy of mine. He flew F-4s in SEA then transitioned over to the 141s until retirement. He specifically requested the stretched version (B) in Lizard paint. [...]
I have been an Airfix fan for many years and in recent times their new moulds just keep tempting me to buy and build.
The Harrier kits are excellent, well detailed and an enjoyable build.
My passion for rotary wing has spilled over into my model making with this build coming strictly out of the box. The above aircraft featured is from the Army's inventory of helios, the ubiquitous Bell 47 or in it's armed forces livery the [...]
Many years ago I commissioned a gentleman in California to custom fabricate this 1:24 scale Bell model 47 helicopter. The craftsmanship and detail are so beautiful that I wanted to share to this website. Due to the fact that it was [...]
