Every now and then I like to unwind with bit of fun, and these little kits really fit the bill. I strip the chrome so I can clean up the seam lines, then replace it with Alclad. The body is Spaz Stix Flourescent Blue from a spary bomb. The en[...]

Outstanding 1/48 Tamiya kit finished with equally outstanding decals from Aeromaster's RNZAF special package. You really can't go wrong with a Tamiya Corsair.

Keeping with the WWI theme, this is my first Wingnut Wings model. Another outstanding kit from the New Zealand modelers. I used Tamiya acrylics, as usual, for all of the colors. I paid particular attention to getting a 'used' look to the camo co[...]

This is from Eduard's fine 1:48 scale Dual Combo Profi kit of the Fokker Dr.1. The model was built out of the box. All color, except for the national insignia and 'face' on the cowl are painted. I used Tamiya acrylics for everything except the F[...]

I added resin seats, made some homemade number to get Pettigrew's mig killer, added some resin burners, added CE intakes, and nautilis scab plates. Thanks, Rob
