Cripes A Mighty Eduard 1/48
I have a list of Mustangs I want on the shelf and at the top is Preddy's Cripes. @lgardner wrote a great story about Cripes for his beautiful 1/32 build. This lead me down another rabbit hole regarding the history of 44-13321. As Louis [...]

I added considerable scratchbuilt details to the cockpit sidewalls, and made [...]

Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 RIAT Greenham Common 1983
I really swithered about sticking this up as I think it's far from my best work.
It took four repaints to get it to this stage and it shows in the loss of surface detail.
Towards the end this was an effort in perseverance and sheer [...]
Revised: Tamiya 1/48 P-51B "Shangri La"
"Shangri La", the iconic P-51B piloted by Capt. D. Gentile, 336th FS, 4th FG with the early white spinner. And how disappointing was the end of this aircraft...

486 Bomb Group 384 Squadron out of Sudberry. This aircraft survived the war to be broken up in Kingman AZ. I am waiting for the California countryside to turn green which should be in March. At that point I will post many more [...]
