U boat type VII C/41 from Revell in scale 1:144

Here is my last project which I have been doing for 4 years on and off. But now the U-Boote type VII C/41 project is finally finished. It became an eternal project with as much joy as frustration. I was ruining this build when I crossed [...]

Bandai RG 1/144 RX-78-2 GUNDAM ver2.0

I built the RG Gundam 2.0 that has just been released. It is a well-made kit, so I only made some modifications to make it more to my liking. The main modifications were to extend the legs and waist front armor, offset the ankle connection [...]

1/144 Dogfight: Armory Models Bf-109 vs Mark I Models Bristol Beaufighter

Armory Models issued a great little set that contains sprues for two models of Bf-109. This one is actually my second attempt. First model is part of diorama that's not done yet. Kit is excellent for the scale, but providing pre cut mask [...]

1/144 KC-135R.

This is the newly released Academy model. It’s actually a re-pop of the Minicraft kit. Academy has been slowly reissuing Minicraft’s more popular kits recently. I always wanted one of these but waited too long as Minicraft went out [...]

1/144 Boeing 307 Stratoliner.

This is the Roden kit which has been available for a few years. I’ve always wanted one of these in this scale and bought it when it was a brand new release. Unfortunately, the decals were useless as always with Roden products. Vintage [...]
