Little Red Bus of Amelia
Hello, guys!
It was more than two years ago when I posted last time. I restarted modeling this summer, have just finished the latest project.
This particular Lockheed Vega (NR-7952) is a historical aircraft with which the famous female [...]
1:48 Scale, Accurate Miniatures TBM-3 "Avenger"
Calling this one DONE!
One of my favorite kits to build, (I've built three...). The kit overall suffers from a wee bit of over engineering, (As in you won't see most of what's in the fuselage...). The fit and level of detail is very well [...]
Piaggio-Pegna P.c.7

Monogram B-24D "Sleepy / The Squaw" Bond Tour Markings in 1/48th Scale
I have always really liked the B-24 and have built a few of these kits over the years. Ungainly looking, and never getting the love from the press and many aircrews that the B-17 did, I still love it. When I was young I read a lot of [...]
Facing Challenges
I've heard that there is no such thing as a bad model kit. There are just good kits and challenging kits. I recently built a couple of challenging kits of historically notable aircraft--ICM 1/72 Ghost of Kyiv and Classic Airframes 1/48 [...]
Viking Spear...1/48 Saab J32B Lansen, Svenska Flygvapnet
