1/48 Classic Airframes Bf 109B-2

This was built primarily out of the box with an Ultracast seat added and the prop pieced together from a CMK 109E prop. The documentation is all over the place on this aircraft. I have seen it referred to as a B, C, and D in [...]

1/48 Testors/Hawk Ryan STM -S2 (PT20)

Easy, old build that comes with floats/wheels, and it's own base. Just plain fun !

Curtiss Condor II. “William Horlick” – ITC/Glencoe 1:81 – Byrd’s expedition plane

This is the horrible ITC Condor kit, represents Richard Evelyn Byrd's expedition plane, "The William Horlick" from 1934. The kit is a "modeling nightmare" - be aware of the one build can find on the net says: [...]

Dragon 1/72 Mig-15Bis Ex LR Korea, USAF

Build from the box in the nineties, decals applied by Cutting Edge paint Xtracolor . On 21 September 1953 a disenchanted North Korean pilot made a decision that changed his life and American history. Lt No Kum Suk flew a MiG-15bis with [...]

Su-7BKL of Indian Air Force (Modelsvit 1/72)

This is my recent model Su-7 in a very unusual painting scheme for this aircraft. Not an easy kit - it's a short run from Ukrainian manufacturer Modelsvit and kit requires some attention and patience. Also instruction should be inspected [...]

1/24 Scale Spifire Mk 8

This is a Trumpeter spitfire Mk 5 that I converted to the Mk8, I had to scratch build quite a few of the components. Lengthened the nose, and changed the Engine, which is from a 1/24 scale Mustang. I resin cast the spinner as well as the [...]

Dragon 1/32 Me109E4

Hi All, Not posted for a little while, but here is one of my recent builds. This is a superb kit, rammed with detail, but goes together exceptionally well. Its up there with the Tamiya warbirds in the same scale, but costs half the price! [...]
