Mostly OOB...A resin seat and the 500lb LGBs came from a trumpeter F-14. Great kit!
Revell / Monogram 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt, WWII
Today we have Monogram's T-bolt, the old 80's repop that was in the Revell box. This version was issued at around the turn of the century.( Can't believe I wrote that, I remember reading about the turn of the century 1899-1900,yikes). [...]

German MG 42 Gunner
Tamiya 1/16
Hasegawa 1/48 Fw 190A-8, JG 54 Robert “Bazi” Weiss
My first Hase 190. Strong points are a nice overall shape, excellent very fine panel lines and, OMG, if you simply assemble the landing gear struts, everything lines up! (Are you listening Bunny boys?) Weak points of the Hase Wurger are [...]
