1/48 F-106A

Trumpeter kit with Aires cockpit, Wolfpack exhaust, Reskit/wheels tires, and Master Details pitot. Used Caracal decals for scheme and Fundekals for stencils. Tamiya Acrylic paints. A generally pleasant building experience with the [...]

Capital Guardian- F-4D, 113th wing, DC Air National Guard

I've done the Tamiya B, the Meng -G, so I'll round this out with the Zoukei-Mura -D. This Guard Phantom is a MiG killer, just not with the DC Air National Guard. 66-7661 bagged a MiG-17 and MiG-21 in Vietnam, and it belonged to the 555th [...]

An Easterner in the West: Zlin Z-526AFS "Akrobat", Sassuolo Aero Club

It is not surprising that the Czech manufacturer Eduard has taken on the Zlin Z-526 with particular love and expertise: Constructions by the Czech aircraft company Zlin (originally: Zlínska letecká akciová společnost) have long played [...]

Albatros D.XI, Karaya, 1:48, test pilot Lt. Heinrich Henkel, Jasta 37, 8 victories

I wanted to build a one off model of a lesser known aircraft type without strings, but how wrong I was. The hull was built excellently, everything fit and I only added a few details. But then I found out that five of the eleven cylinders [...]

U-2D MIDAS

"That's the letter U, and the numeral 2. The four-man band features Adam Clayton on bass, Larry Mullen on drums, Dave Evans—nicknamed 'The Edge', on..." ...this is [REDACTED]! Nobody cares! These guys are from England and who [...]

Desert Liberators: 1/48th and 1/72nd scale B-24D compared

Monogram's Liberator was built as a restoration challenge of a bargain kit that missed most of the transparent parts and others. In particular interest was forming the nose glass section. I borrowed from a friend the transparent tree [...]
