1/48 Monogram Me-262
Another OOB from the old file stash... nice kit, but shows it's age.
Monogram F-84F
Another oldie but a goodie ! OOB all the way. It's a nice kit that never got much attention.
Japanese Type 95 Ha-Go light tank
Time for something that clanks. This 'lil beastie was the only enemy tank to tread on U.S. soil in WW2, a couple being present on frozen Kiska Island in the Aleutians. Dragon's new 1/35 Ha-go is a beauty, easy to build, low parts count. [...]
F3F-2 encore – F3F-2 of VF-6
Since everyone liked the Marine F3F-2, here's a Navy F3F-2 of Fighting 6 aboard USS Enterprise.
This is a model of the airplane that Fred MacMurray's character "crashed" during the high altitude test in "Dive Bomber." [...]
Bristol Beaufighter MK VI
This model represents an Beaufighter from 30 Squadron, RAAF. I have no further info on it except that the person I built it for was on the same island base in the Pacific where this group was. He was with the USA on OY-10's. He passed away [...]
1/72 Airfix Short Skyvan
For this one, I chose the scheme from the "Pink Aviation" skydiving aircraft. Unusal aircraft, and paint job !
Tamiya, 1:48 Scale Bristol Beaufighter Mk-VI
Another great kit by Tamiya, so what else can I say. Fit was spot on and other than the need of some extra detail in the respective cockpits, the kit is awesome. I only say that because for some it's not enough. Others, (Like me) will [...]
Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale, Kawanishi N1K1-Ja, ‘Shinden’ (George)
Hey Folks,
I've been away for a bit, but still building. Thought I'd post a few pictures of one of my latest builds.
Loved the kit and it went together very well. A minimum of fit issues and the detail was nicely done without that [...]
Douglas F4D-1, Skyray, VF-141 during 1957
F4D-1's of VF-141 "Iron Angels" were aboard USS Bon Homme Richard CVA-31 during the time I was aboard in 1957-58. They came aboard in June for a West Pac cruise. This was the first deployment of a West coast squadron equipped [...]
Grumman F3F-2 BuNo 0976, 1/48 Accurate Miniatures
This is the Accurate Miniatures gem - I was so happy when they finally released a good model of my favorite Grumman fighter. The model is done OOB with kit decals, to depict F3F-2 BuNo 0976, flown by 1st Lt. Bob Galer of VMF-2.
On August [...]
