Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The airframe depicted has been raised from a lake in Jonsvatnet, Norway in 2004 where it sank through the ice in 1940. Even though it was a relatively new airframe built in 1940, it already had a new wing and had been recoded on the [...]
This is my Tamiya Phantom in the early USAF gull gray & white colour scheme used until around 1966 when the SEA camo scheme came into use.
I loved building this kit even though it was a few years ago now. Cockpit is Black Box and there [...]
Another What-If? - Luftwaffe1946: After much drawn out fighting, the Germans finally capitulate.
Leaving behind items such as this D0-335 much abused & repaired Arrow. Replaced wing & lower fin in case you hadn't noticed!

Please forgive the bombs but they were in the box - & I like bombs...
Rather heavy weathering on top but [...]
Saw that Greg Kittinger wants to do a Midway B-26. Here was my interpretation, done a couple of years ago. "Susie-Q" was an early bird with short wings and different tail gun position. Valom had a kit of it, it got crucified by [...]
2 pics of older build Tamiya F-84Gs & the rest are for the latest -G bird from Pro-Modeller as promised. - Straight from the box with very flaky, original Korean War decals from Pro-Modeller (Revell) cracking & splintering all over [...]
Here's a few pictures of a kit I built as a kid. This model has somehow survived over all of these years...
Here's the background on the build:
Some dates in time, (for some unknown reason), just seem to stick with you. This is one [...]
One of Colonel George Lavens F-84Es from his time in charge over in Europe with the 527th FBS, 86th FBG, USAF .
Decal sheet is by Aeromaster and kit straight OOB otherwise.
Very colourful paint job and a lovely kit to build!
