SB2C-4 Helldiver

Well this is my just finished 1/48 scale Revell Pro-Modeler SB2C-4 Helldiver, in the colors and markings of VB-84, U.S.S. Bunker Hill, 1945. I read that the Helldiver was not universally loved by those who used it, but I imagine this big [...]

AMT 1/48 P-40N

So my grandson and I are at the Lunken Airport open house last spring and we're watching the B-17 Aluminum Overcast giving rides. And wouldn't you know it some of the folks selling souvenirs that day also have some models to sell. I hate [...]

1/72 LS Mitsubishi Type 96 G3M Attack Bomber "Nell"

Hobby Boss Me 262

This is the Airfix 1/72 Vickers Valiant B1 one of 3 RAF V bombers Vulcan and the Victor are the other two. Excellent and easy kit for its size to build, have altered some parts such as the main undercarriage doors and some of the panel [...]
