UH-1H Huey, A Co. Little Bears, 25th Avn BN, Cu Chi, Republic of Vietnam 1969

Hello! This is the Italeri 1/48 scale UH-1H Huey that I built for a friend and fellow veteran, who asked that I build for his brother, who is also a veteran and also a fellow former crew chief. This is meant to represent his bird while [...]

Cessna A-37B Dragonfly

The A-37B Dragonfly was one of those unsung heroes of the Vietnam air war. Over shadowed by more glamorous jets like the Phantom, Crusader, Super Sabre and Thunderchief, the A-37 was deployed to Vietnam to replace the F-100 and B-57. It [...]

Sukhoi Su-34 Platypus

This is Italeri's 1/72 scale rendition of arguably the deadliest of the Sukhoi design bureau's fabulous Flankers. The side-by-side seating Su-27 variants are radical developments of the original Flanker interceptor. The Su-27 IB, Su-32 FN [...]

1/72. P40 Academy

Hello Guys An old kit I made 10 years ago. It was very relaxing but when I took a look on the pics, I realised that I have some improvements to do on the paint, decals and details during the assembly. Have a good week end and as [...]

1/48 Lightning F.2A

This is the 1/48 Airfix Lightning finished as "King Cobra" , 92Sq. Squadron Leader's aircraft, RAF Germany, 1972. I built it from the recent Airfix re-issue of the 1997 vintage kit. This is the release that you want to get if [...]

1/72 SAAF Canberra

Morne Meyer's outstanding Canberra inspired me to share mine. This is the 1/72 "little brother" to Morne's 1/48 model. I think this was the first new tool kit that Hornby did after their takeover of Airfix. The shapes are [...]

The Mother of all Zeroes…prototype #1 (ichi-ban)

Hasegawa's limited-release Zero prototype in 1/48th scale. Built this one a while ago when first released, an easy build. AFAIK there are no images in existence of this machine so we can only hope Hasegawa got it right. The engine/cowling [...]

English Electric B(I) Mk.12 Canberra

In 1963 the South African Air Force (SAAF) procured six B(I) Mk.12 Canberra interdictors and three T. Mk.4's from Britain. Initially the Canberra was seen as an interim measure until the arrival of Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneers in 1965. The [...]

1/48 Pfalz D-VIII

Howdy, The Pfalz D-VIII is probably my favorite plane of World War One. It's stubby fuselage was a radical departure from the elegant shark like fighters that the Pfalz factory produced before. This is the Tom's Modelworks resin kit. [...]

LaGG-ing behind-the theme lurches on….LTD version..

Before ICM there was the only ballgame in town, LTD Model's limited-run 1/48 LaGG. At least it is actually 1/48, I have heard the ICM is a tad underscale. The size difference is noticeable. As mentioned, I reaLLy likE LaGGs so I tried my [...]
