1/72 Matchbox F-86 Sabre
One of our club's themes, was "Snake Bit", or, "something with a snake". (I think the theme was chosen by a car builder, with a Shelby Cobra). Wanting to do something quick (and it shows), I chose the Matchbox F-86 [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1a Corsair
I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.
Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”
This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]

God of Research Dana Bell presents the most detailed and useful book about the early P-40 - the P-40, P-40B and P-40C - available for modelers. And just in time! If I told you more I'd have to shoot you, but in the foreseeable future [...]

Convair 240, 1/72 Mach II kit. United Air Lines
A few articles back I responded to a contributor that I am of the "I know where the mistakes are and I am not going to tell you" philosophy.
Well, here is an example...
This is the Mach II 1/72 kit of the Convair C-131. First let [...]
Monogram A-26 part 2
As promised, a few shots of the A-26 on a base with her pilot. George, it only took 11 weeks this time...!
The base is a scrap piece of 3/4 oak plywood I had lying around. The edge was routered to make it look a little nicer. The [...]
