Today in history: 21 April
Today in history: 21 April is the 96th anniversary of the death in action of Baron Manfred von Richtofen.
Thought I'd take a moment to refer you down memory lane to my post and model of his Dr.I, which you can find here (some of you newer [...]
The major George Preddy “Cripes A Mighty 3rd” P-51 D-5- NA paint and assembly
Hi,
I present you my last built... the kit is amazing but i had some trouble with my paint. I would do the Major Preddy plane between august and september 1944. The plane bears the scars of his fights and aluminum coating lost its luster [...]
William’s Bros. 1/32 Gee Bee Z Super Sportster
Well, I've already professed a few of my loves in aviation (classic jets and round engines). Another would be the Golden Age of air racing. This was a time when mere mortals were designing and building aircraft in their garages and [...]
Tamiya 1/32 P51K Mustang
I had the privilege of commanding No 3 Squadron RAAF at Butterworth, Malaysia in 1979-1981, so when Tamiya came out with its superb 1/32 P51D kit, I just knew I had to make a model of one of the types flown by my old squadron during [...]
Czech Model 1/32 Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star

Parts added:
Rhino intakes (great fit)
Seat from legend
Bombs from the trumpeter tomcat
Items "fixed":
The vent holes in the back [...]

Finally finished something. This is the type of build I will work on while building more involved kits. It is a 1/32nd scale Matchbox kit circa 1975.
The Ulster was developed by Augustus Bertilli . It had a 2 year racing history as a [...]
1/32 Junkers J.1
This is the superlative Wingnut Wings kit. I built it pretty much straight from the box with the exception of the ignition wiring that I added with brass wire. The minimal control surface rigging at the rear of plane was done with [...]
Hasegawa 1/32nd Bf 109 G-6/R3
At the end of 1943, Obstlt. Walter Oesau introduced a new emblem for JG1- a red winged ‘1’ in a white diamond, which was enclosed in a red circle. My model represents a speculative interpretation of the Gruppe Kommodeurs machine from [...]
Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28 flown by Eddie Rickenbacker
The Nieuport 28 was the last of a line of fighting scouts to see combat service in the First World War. Unlike all of its predecessors, which had been sesquiplanes (a two-winged airplane in which the lower wing is less than 50% the area [...]
