1/72 Airfix DC-3

Focke Wulf Fw-190D-9 (Tamiya 1/48)
Granted this older Tamiya kit has some issues, but it still makes an attractive build. This also presented an opportunity to practice airbrushing camo and mottle free-hand while trying to avoid a major mishap.
Kit decals were unusable so [...]
Interesting national insignia on Marine Corsairs
So as I work on my Richard Petty '73 Charger (more on that later!) I am researching my next build, Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair. I figured I'd do a Marine bird, so I started looking at pictures and stumbled across some birds with no [...]
Kinetic 1/48 IA 58 Pucara

The kit went together great - the only part that needed a bit of work was the underbelly.
Stated like most kits with the Cockpit and if you have the chance to get [...]

My dad´s next biplane, the first of some upcoming yellow wing subjects.
Accurate Miniatures kit, accidentally decals for their -2 kit were packed in the box, so my dad decided to use them and do a Marines bird, all the numbers were [...]
Getting Some R & R, 1/35 dio
This project has been "in-work" for quite some time. I picked up Monroe Purdu's New Paint kit at a historical miniature show back in the late 1990s even though I didn't have a specific dio concept in mind. I was heavily into [...]
A5M Claudes
I only had one A5M Claude in my Japanese collection, (A5M4-K by Classic Airframes), so recently I built 2 Claudes from Wingsy Kits. This was my first experience with Wingsy Kits, and they are exceptional, a real pleasure to build. One [...]
