Monogram 1/48 Scale F4J Phantom
I built and modified this kit back in 1990. It's been in storage for 30 years. Some pieces separated so I decided to put it back together and clean it up a bit.
1/144 Dogfight: Armory Models Bf-109 vs Mark I Models Bristol Beaufighter
I tend to make most of my models "alive". So far I've made flying airplanes, recreated missile launches, waterbombing, crop dusting...This time I tried to make machinegun tracers. WW2 was most logical theme and 1/144 scale [...]
Young Israeli Soldier
So, I wanted to paint subjects that were a little less morbid, and get away from photos of victims of state repression..

I employed the Quinta cockpit decal set, Pavla resin seats, Reskit rocket pods & Xtradecals sheet for an early 1966 HMS Triumph bird. It is painted with Gunze paints [...]
Two become one, one becomes two: a strange modelling story about an even stranger flying vehicle,: A-90 "Orlyonok" Ekranoplan, part I
The mysterious aircraft presented here is surprisingly difficult to categorise. Although it flies at a speed of several hundred kilometres per hour and is reminiscent of a classic aeroplane in many parts, it also moves with a spray or dust [...]
Tiger 1 in 1/48 scale
Hello all,
This is my 32nd model of the year, the 1/48 scale Tiger 1 by Tamiya. These are great kits and usually go together with zero issues, perfect kits for the first time modeler. I always do all of my building live on Tiktok daily, if [...]
1/48 SAAF Tiger Moth
After attempting a Bronco 1/48 Mustang and having some difficulties with the metallic finish, I needed an ego booster. Enter the Airfix 1/48 DH82A Tiger Moth. Lovely kit with a great fit. I chickened out with the rigging but will attempt [...]
