iModeler Review: Dana Bell “P-40 Warhawk”
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 [...]
US Coast Guard MH-65C
This model represents the USCG H-65 "Dolphin" short range helicopter. Dating back to the 1980's, this twin engined aircraft is the Services' standard shipboard aircraft, certified for all weather and night time operations.

1/48 Monogram Do-335
Another old Monogram kit, with an option to build the two-seater. While it shows it's age, it still holds up pretty good, as do most of the older kits, with a little work. As I dip into the stash, I recall why I bought these in the [...]

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 [...]
1/48 AA FBC-1 ("Soaring Flying The Leopard")
This is a BIG aircraft, and a very basic, inexpensive kit of a Chinese fighter in demonstration team colors. Everything about this kit is minimal, including detail and decals, but the overall size is impressive, and it looks [...]
Ted Taylor RIP
I just heard this morning that UK "modelling legend" Ted Taylor passed away yesterday of the crime of growing old enough to do so. (We're all headed toward that "guilty" verdict)
I only knew him the way I know most [...]
Geneseo Air Show!
Wow it has been a long time since I've posted on here, but I do like to poke my head in every so often 🙂
Recently I've been working on a p-61 (which I feel is coming along horrendous).
Also in other news I just picked up tonight a [...]
