1/48 AMT P-40E

Been stuck on building P-40's lately and just had to finish this one. Only problem was no canopy in the box. Another modeller from this site offer one up and presto we have a Lend Lease P-40E.. The A/C depicted was flown by P. A. [...]

The Eagle Has Landed…on my model shelf

Now I need a bigger shelf... This is the Revell 1/48 scale F-15E Strike Eagle, built 'out-of-the-box' using the markings for #80-0487, 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron, the "Chiefs", 4th Fighter Wing, Operation Desrt Storm, 1991 [...]

1/72 Lindberg Mitsubishi G4M2 "Betty"

The box art says 1967 ! This has to be one of the oldest kits I've built in a long time. I picked it up at an estate sale, and thought it would be an opportunity to add a "Betty" to my recently started WWII Japanese [...]

Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator stop-motion build

(link) Found on Youtube today is this animated build of Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator by Tom Grigat. Don't ask me how the video was done - I have no idea, but it sure is beautiful!

Tamiya 1/48 F-117

1/72 Revell EC145 Rega

Look what just landed in the back yard ! (snicker snicker) I like building helicopters. I made new parts for both sets of rotor blades from brass rod, tubing and E string. This allowed free spinning for the photos and to prevent breakage [...]

1/48 A-7E Operation Praying Mantis 1988

I am happy to share another of my low vis A-7E's. The first one I posted a while back was a Desert Storm A-7E, and I didn't have much luck with photographing the intake - or the photography of it in general! I think this upload is better- [...]

1/48th AMT F7F-3N Tigercat

I found this F7F-3N AMT kit to be a smooth build with no noticeable problems other than those that were self-inflicted. Despite filling the nose with lead, I found the model to be a dedicated tail-sitter. AMT must have been aware of that [...]

This is my Focke Wulf 190 F-8 I./SG2 Red 10. Flown by an unknown pilot in Raab – Hungary, January 1945.
