Hell Island (Malta) Spitfire: 1/48th Tamiya Spitfire Mk.Vb
The Tamiya 1/48th scale Spitfire Vb is certainly a go-to kit of mine if I am looking for a stress free build. The parts fit and engineering are still highly competitive although the kit came out over 25 years ago. You can typically find [...]
1/48 Siemens-Shuckert D.III – Great War Group Build.
This is the Eduard kit from 2014. It’s the second tooling of this plane that Eduard did. The first tooling was the very first full kit that Eduard produced in 1993. The two kits have nothing in common. This was a real pleasure to [...]
1/48 ClearProp F-86A
This is my PREVIEW of the IPMS USA review of the ClearProp F-86A. A decent kit with some 'Caveats' but it is nice to see the early version kit in 1/48 ...and soon in 1/72! Bravo CleaProp.
Here is the link to my more Extensive IPMS USA [...]

I started this s****r at the height of my AMS [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Ki-45 Kai Tei Toryu "Nick"
Although not free of glitches and requires a considerable attention during construction, Hasegawa's Nick represents a model painter's paradise. The main construction issue is the fit between the wings and fuselage. I cut the flaps' panel [...]
Kepford' Pirate
I took a long break from the resin Macchi M39 because I'm having trouble with boot alignment... I've been building another Corsair, the second from Magic Factory. I chose the unusual subject of Ike Kepford 😉 that others on this forum [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-38J Lightning
With all its short falls concerning mostly with fit issues, Hasegawa's Lightning is very convincing.
Korean War: 1/48 Hasegawa F-86F-30 Sabre
For the recent F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury group build, I chose markings of one of the top U.S. aces of the Korean War: Maj. James Jabara. I used Warbird Decals 48027 Korean War F-86s, Part 2 and 48027 F-86F Common. You need both sheets.
