The Monogram Typhoon is copyrighted 1967, though I don't remember seeing it before 1969. Whatever. It's old. Supposedly been completely replaced by the Hasegawa kits in 2000-2001. They go for US$45.00 or so. This goes for $16, and the [...]
Well I just got back from the Hinckley Model Show and a first for me,many of you outside of dear old blighty may never have heard of Hinckley so to to put you in the picture it is a town in the midlands of England and is the home of the [...]
I wanted to start contributing with some 1/72nd scale armor I did a couple of years back. The first one is the Dragon LVT-4A1 from WWII and it was a joy to build and paint. Just an out of the box kit build, so I had the joy of a quick [...]

Well, not only do I love vintage jets, but I'm also a s****r for anything with a round engine! (Hearing EAA's B-17 flying around yesterday got me thinking about it again!)I think the Tigercat ranks among the best looking of them all! [...]
Seems like a lot of lightnings have been showing up lately, so I thought I'd show my 92 Sq. F.1A as well. (I like the early Lightnings before they added chord to the fin and squared it off!) I built it when the kit was new, so it's about [...]
It's hard to believe it was seven months ago that I posted some in-progress photos on this project. There was a lot of decal work even before I added the Mike Grant rivets. I liked the kit and built it OOB.
Hi All,
This build is from quite some time ago and its one of my rare jaunts over to 1/48 its the Trumpeter kit and it is a really nice bit of plastic to say the least, detail is top notch, the cockpit in my opinion doesn't need anything [...]
