Here’s two I prepared earlier…
Both are TAMIYA 1/48 scale kits.
The P-47D "Pride O' Dogpatch" is actually the P-47M kit as it has the fin-fillet. Decals by AeroMaster.
The P-51D "Madam Wham-Dam" is a VLR Mustang based at Iwo Jima. The a/c was [...]
MiG-21MF 'Fishbed-J'
I don’t do a lot of commission builds so this is more of an exception. A flight-simming friend did me a lot of favors in the last few months for which I am very grateful. And he’s a big MiG-21 fan so one thing led to another and I [...]

MiG-15 UTI, Iraq Air Force / HobbyBoss 1:72 /
MiG-15 is a very popular plane, so common for Warsaw Pact countries. Almost 18,000 were produced, but mostly MiG-15 is associating with overall silver look. I decided to break that and choose some unusual paint scheme for my model. Decals [...]

Finally finished this one - the old Tamiya kit - and it was a pleasure to build. Fit was generally very good and the cockpit and landing gear really looked the part. I added some Brengun photo etch, some miscellaneous brass pitot booms [...]
