Centennial Brrrrt...1/48 Fairchild-Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II, 104th FS "Fightin´ O´s", Maryland ANG

2/2024 One of my dad´s more rare excursions in the modern jet world. IMO still the most bada$$ ground attacker and CAS aircraft. As I´ve read it is declared dead once again in a few years...let´s see. Hobby Boss kit, mostly oob. HB did [...]

1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik

Finished the 1/48 Tamiya Il-2 Shturmovik. It's a great kit - Tamiya's excellent kit engineering makes it very fun to build. I added riveting to the airframe with a rivet wheel, used Eduard's photo etch for the seatbelts, and also [...]
