Hello iModeler! Long time no post. Here is my first commissioned build. My client requested it be in flight with a full load of ordnance. That made mounting kind of tricky but I found a way in the end. I bent a clear acrylic rod to a suit[...]

Tamiya 1/48 Kubelwagen with Peddinghaus decals & some Eduard P-E. Decent little kit. Decided to put it in Aviation. ;)

This is the Tamiya 1/48 Arado AR-196A German seaplane. It is a re-box of the Italeri kit. I did the scheme as one of the aircraft that was used on the Bismarck battleship. The Arado Ar 196 was a shipboard reconnaissance low-wing monoplane aircra[...]

Academy 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

This was a fun build! I've never had much luck with Academy's decals, so when I found the cool Hawaii ANG sheet, I was set. Although maybe basic by some standards, I think the cockpit builds up nicely after a wash and drybrushing. Same with t[...]

This is an older build, that is totally out of the box. I know the flaws of the kit but all that aside I remember it as a generally satisfactory build and there is no mistaking what it is. The fit was generally good, and overall went together [...]

Hobbyboss 1/48 Begemot stencils Foxbot Decals J's Work masks Wolfpack bang seat A quarantine-build that didn't really "fight" me, but it did struggle a bit. The kit goes together pretty smoothly. No huge steps or areas where you need globs [...]

Hello! I've always liked Aggressor's scheme for the Eagles, so as soon I got a F-15C kit, I went after the right decal set for this scale. They're from Two Bobs and everything else is OOB. I scratch built the ACMI pod from a AIM-9, so this bird[...]
