Nostalgic Build, a Fun Trip Back in Time
I saw this model in a friend's stash and waxed a bit nostalgic, and he let me buy it off him. I had built this model in grade school, but lacked the skills, and I believe it ended up packed with fire crackers in the backyard. Fun kit, [...]
Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1
The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.
1/72 HELLER DC-6B
I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]

The venerable Ertl kit re boxed by AMtech depicting an iconic 112 Sq. aircraft that was the first to use the shark teeth emblem in North Africa.
P-40B "Pearl Harbor" 1/48th Airfix
I have always liked the P-40 in all its variations, although I do think I like the earlier variants better, like I do for the P-38. When I saw the Airfix kit and read the reviews I knew I wanted to build one. Unfortunately I am trying to [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 A6M2-K Zero Trainer Type 11
Our eyes follow small objects and areas that are brightly colored within the field of vision. Hence, models painted in white or yellow are eye catching by comparison to drab camouflage colors.
With its spaced two cockpits, Hasegawa's Zero [...]
