1/48 SB2C-4 Helldiver

Another one I never posted from a few years back. This is the Revellogram Promodeler kit from the late 90s. The decals were terrible and yellowed, so I cobbled together spares to model a USS Bunker Hill Helldiver. I painted it with [...]

1/48 Brewster F2A-2

Who doesn't like the Tamiya Buffalo? This is one I built a few years ago but somehow neglected to post. I built it straight from the box and finished it with Yellow Wings decals. The only other remarkable fact about it is that it is [...]

Avia S-199 is one of the last produced post-war Me 109's variations and was the first fighter obtained by the IAF, forming Israel’s first fighter squadron. First Israeli’s aerial victory was also scored by S-199. So, I wanted this [...]

Douglas A-20 in 1:48 from Italeri

The Douglas 20, sometimes called ”Boston”, sometimes called ”Havoc” is a bit of an unsung hero. This, and its kool looks, were the main reasons I wanted to build a model of it. It served in the French, the British, the Soviet and [...]
