Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This started out as a 1/72 Airfix Westland "Whirlwind". A few cuts, a few added pieces, a few cold beers, and here we are. I forgot to ad, a few squirts of rattle can aluminum. No detail, no reference, nothing but FUN !
After years of collecting references and figuring I could build the Revell 1/32 corsair into something decent, Tamiya comes out with another super kit. When it was first out it was too rich for my blood, but as these things go, patience [...]

I built this back in 2007. This 1/72 kit by Aki can stand close comparison with the magnificent 1/32 Fisher Sea Fury in terms of detail and production quality, which is remarkable when one considers this is done in the smaller scale. This [...]
Here's my just finished Stearman PT-17, a 1/48 scale Revell kit I built 'out of the box'. It is the smallest model I've built. the kit goes together real well, maybe it should be part of Revell's "Pro-Modeller' series. Maybe if they [...]
I recently picked up the limited-release "P-51D 8th AF Aces" kit from an estate sale at the LHS. I hadn't picked this up when first released because I wasn't sure I wanted to do anything with the kit decals. As it turned out, [...]
