Now for a P-51B
Personally, I like the P-51B better, mostly for its look.
This Tamiya P-51B was done with Aeromaster decals and the Falcon Malcolm hood to do Don O'Hara's "Shillelagh" of the 353rd FS, 354th FG. As a wingman and element leader [...]
A visit to the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Part 2
Here's the second batch of photos. The aircraft on display cover the full spectrum of US naval aviation, from day one to the present. The variety and quality of the aircraft is astounding, as many of them were flown in, cleaned up and [...]
A visit to the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Part 1
I've been able to visit the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida, twice in the past month. These visits were different from previous trips in that this was the first time I've been able to go with no time constraints or [...]
Hobbyboss 1/48 FW-190D-9, Halle, Germany, 1945
Here's my Hobbyboss FW-190D-9, of II/JG6 in May 1945. Its a very nice kit, but could use a few tweeks to make it really stand out. I really like the patched together scheme's of wars end.
True Details seat and Ultracast exhaust, Mike Grant [...]
A couple of old relics
I spotted these two today outside a modern public library in Zhuhai, I couldn't find any information, but I think the plane is a MiG-16 (but I'm only too happy to be corrected), and as for the motor torpedo boat, that's anyone's [...]

Today you can find brand new SBS model's nice detailed 1/72 kit for this [...]
Landwasserschlepper
Just finished the Hobbyboss LWS in 1/35. Very much an experiment in weathering techniques for me trying dot filters, oils and streaking to name but a few for the first time! Your commennts/critique is, therefore, welcome!
Airfix 1/72 Curtiss Tomahawk Mk.IIB
One of the recent "new tooling" Airfix's 1/72 starter sets, and relaxingly easy build it is!
This is an out of box build that spanned two weekends but were truncated due to other project commitments & stretched across the [...]
(..yet another) Porsche - 911 GT1
Not too much to say. I bought the kit from a UK seller on eBay - because the box was worn & scuffed, it was a steal even with the postage down here to Middle Earth.
It arrived on a Monday and by the Wednesday I was deep in to the build [...]
Fifty shades of gray.
Since in the last 3 weeks, for several reason, i did not progress much with the projects I work on , I post an article about a Revell Tornado IDS, 1/48, I build a couple of years ago, for a collegue of mine, working on the real Tornado [...]
