Built OOB...just like the F9F-8 Cougar a fantastic resin kit! Paint was Mr Color, and gloss was Mr Color out of the rattle can.

3 to cure a 3 year hiatus
It's been 3 years since I last indulged in my obsession, I mean hobby.
I decided to make up for lost time by bulding 3 at a time.
They are almost done, apart from the aerial wires, some weathering and the armoured headrest on Nowotny's [...]
A Sewart Seacraft 50′ Crewboat
Back in the last century I worked on boats exactly like this in the Gulf of Mexico.
For years I've wanted to convert the Monogram Swift Boat back into what it came from - a Sewart Seacraft 50' crewboat, I finally did.
The conversion [...]
1/48th Cyber Hobby Bf-110D3
I recieved this kit as payment for a brake job from a good friend. I built it out of the box as a review for our local club's news letter. Overall it was a blast to build, with excellent overall detail and generally good fit. It is a [...]
1/48 Otaki F6F-3N
This is the Otaki 1/48 F6F-3 with a Hasegawa F6F-5N cockpit and radome. The canopy is a vacuformed replacement and the decals are Superscale. The underwing insignia is hand painted around the radome. I enjoyed working on this as the kit [...]
1/48 Hobbycraft F9F-2 with adjustments

Major Don Schmenk’s F-100
This is the venerable Monogram 1/48th North American F-100. The kit was given to me by retired Air Force Major Don Schmenk. The plane has the markings of the Hun that Schmenk flew in Vietnam.
I had the kit for many years before I finally [...]
Lockheed Model 9 Orion 1/48 AMT conversion
I can't quite remember when this was completed,I'm pretty sure sometime before 1985. The subject is the Lockheed model 9 Orion which shared a number of components with the more well known Vega. I started with the venerable AMT [...]
DH-4 in U.S. Mail Service Aurora 1/48
Another of my builds from my distant past. (When did I get so old?!? ) Completed 36 years ago from the even then ancient Aurora DH-4 kit. Modifications include removal of all surface detail, the markings where depicted by raised outlines [...]
WNW 1/32 Fokker E.III (late)
A kit that's a lot easier than you might expect. I would recommend it as a "first rigging model" to someone considering doing WW1 models, it's really that simple.
Done as the E.III Max Immelmann was shot down in. Completely [...]
