A-4 air show photo op attraction.
What to do with a spare Skyhawk fuselage from the Hasa. TA-4/A-4 kit. Make it into a trailered airshow attraction, I got the idea after seeing an F-4 set up in a similar way at an airshow. I shortened the trailer from Airfix's tank [...]
F-105D Marineflieger, 1/72 Hasegawa

This is my most recent model to cross the finish line. The Williams Brothers Gee Bee Z. The kit build was straight forward, and built OOB, with the exception of engine details being scratch built. The hard part was painting. The model was [...]
Monogram/Revell 1:48 A-6E Intruder
A-6E of VA-115 (Eagles), Atsugi Naval Air Station, 1996.
I saw the movie, Flight of the Intruder, in 1991 and I was immediately hooked on the A-6. Yeah, it was a cheesy movie with over the top lines but the real history underlining the [...]
Hasegawa 1:48 Nakajima Ki-44-II Ko (Shoki – Demon)
This aircraft is from the Akeno Training Flight Division, Akeno Airfield, 1944. A very nice kit with no vices. When I started collecting info on this kit I noticed almost every build mentioned an over-lap of the of the wings near the wing [...]
