Review: Cyrk Skalskiego ("Skalski's Circus") - Eduard 1/48 Spitfire IX – "Desert War" group build
Had not the RAF been able to bring a new Spitfire into combat in the summer of 1942 to face the Fw-190A that could outfly the Spitfire V on every point but turning circle, the war over Northern Europe would have likely taken a different [...]
Bf.109G-10, 1:48 Hasegawa – Yugoslav Partisan Squadron 1945
You know the problem of those never finished box-queens, kits that you start and then put back in the box and forget about? They beckon you every time you open your stash, yet you just ignore them and go for a virgin kit. Well, I have a [...]

Revell 1:48 F-84E
I finally got around to this kit, which has been on my to-do list for quite a long time. It's pretty much OOB, but I did use a resin seat from Quickboost. It's probably not quite as pleasant a build as the Tamiya F-84G, and there are some [...]

A deadly opponent to the end: Bf 109G-10, II/JG 52, Hörsching, Austria
About the Bf 109G "Gustav
The Bf 109 is the most produced aircraft in history - and it will probably not have to relinquish this rank in view of the ever increasing performance of the individual fighter aircraft. With the production [...]
HMCS BONAVENTURE
This is HMCS Bonaventure. My first major warship Build in August 2020. The Bonaventure was the last and longest in service Aircraft Carrier in the Royal Canada Navy. The Bonaventure was a British Majestic Class Carrier designed near the [...]
Revellogram 1/48 B-17G
This is a build for a friend whose father was initial crew on this aircraft in WW II. An old molding that I'm sure many here are familiar with, it was a decent kit considering it's age and the manufacturing limitations of the seventies. It [...]
