PTO builds you say?

I'm in with my classic Monogram SBD, built as close to intended by the gang in Morton Grove as I could, then my Monogram TBD, with some scratchbuilt details, and my Tamiya 1/32 Corsair! I actually think the SBD is my favorite, brought [...]

Tamiya A6M2b type 21

one of my favorite aircraft so it was surprising to me that i had not built a A6M2 Zero-Sen in my favorite scale (1:72 of course). the kit build was augmented with the following bits. Eduard P.E. set, brass tubing for the cannon barrels [...]

So you want to be a Naval Aviator?

Airfix Hawker Typhoon MKIB.In 1.24 scale

Here is my WIP guys.

A "pro tip" for us all.
