THE KIT
Following my build of Neil Armstrong's Panther in 1:72, and in which I showed a letter he wrote to his father during [...]
Just finished this beautiful and one of my favorites airplanes, the famous Intruder in KD version; had to fill some gaps but was a fun build.
This KD-6 kit by Italeri is highly recommended
Enjoy the pictures.
I built this Mosquito for the De Havilland Group Build. There are a lot of great choices of planes to build for this group, but I wanted to be a little creative in my choice. One of my favorite flying movies is 633 Squadron, which is [...]
This kit has been in my stash since the 1990’s. Some significant work was required to reinforce and clean up the front/rear fuselage join. Without internal reinforcement, there’s too much flex and too little area for glue to adhere [...]

This is the second model I've built since restarting my hobby after a nearly 40 year recess. The subject of this attempt was the excellent Tamiya 1:48 Razorback P-47 Thunderbolt. I really wanted to build the "Spirit of Atlantic [...]
This is my first surface ship project since doing a few in my youth. This kit has no PE or resin but it has some very fine plastic parts.
I used nearly every type of tool, glue, paint and technique I know of. The last steps were [...]
