Grumman F9F-8 Cougar.
It's been a very slow start to my modelling year. My own fault as I rarely give in when confronted with a difficult model. My Cougar falls into this category: one of my favourite aircraft, but not the easiest build as far as I am [...]
AFV Club 1/48 F-5F Freedom Fighter
AFV Club's first foray into aviation topics results with a vary nice kit. Their Freedom Fighter is a detailed kit that builds into a seemly accurate depiction of the aircraft. The engraved panel lines are somewhat schematic, but the fit of [...]
1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Type 21
I've always wanted to build a set of 1941-42 IJN carrier airplanes, and picked up a complete set of Hasegawa kits last summer. This is the first to make it to the workbench, a A6M2b that appears to be a 1993 issue. It is finished as Lt. [...]
Eduard 1/48 Wildcat Mk.VI
I got this one as part of my Birthday present last year along with a Bunny Club Membership.
Of course this one had to be an FAA subject.

Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J Remote Control! by Tamiya 1/35

Cavalier Mustang
For some time, I considered kit-bashing a Mustang to add a rear seat, tall tail, and tip tanks for the Fantasy Mustang I would like to have in 1:1 scale. My piggy bank was never fat enough for the 1:1 version, so I’d have to settle for [...]
Preview: The New 1/48th Scale ICM B-26B Marauder
In the spring of 2023, I got wind of a future release of a New Tool B-26 Marauder kit in 1/48th scale from ICM. The kit was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2023, but I didn’t care when it was released, I just knew I [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 Junkers Ju-87D-1 STUKA
Hasegawa 1/48 Stuka was built.
Since this product was a stock item released 25 years ago, it was difficult to apply decals, but other than that, there were no other difficulties and the kit was easy to assemble.
The kit is straightened out [...]
