B-25D Tondelayo T1/48th scale, Accurate Miniatures 1/48th scale
The goal of the project was to represent B-25D-1 #41-30669 Tondelayo of the 500th B.S. at Nadzab in June of 1944. My key reference is the excellent history of the 345th Bombardment Group Warpath Across the Pacific by Lawrence J. Hickey. I [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat
This is a nice kit and goes together well. I only had two issues. The canopy sits too high so I had to file off the bottom to make it sit lower. The bushing inside the engine did not seat properly so the propeller shaft would not [...]
Revell 1/48 Arado 234C-3
The Arado 234C was equipped with four BMW 003A instead of the pair of Jumo 004 engines. Not only that the aircraft gained additional thrust, but also more Jumo engines could boost the Me 262 manufacturing effort.
Revell's Arado is an [...]

Skunkworks II: 1/48th Italeri SR-71A Blackbird
This 1/48th Italeri SR-71A Blackbird kit was introduced by Italeri back in the early 1980s, and then re-offered by Testors a few years later. It is huge and typically recognizable, so will attract attention on the shelf, however the kit [...]
Detailing Special Hobby Fairey Barracuda 1/48 kit
Special Hobby's Barracuda is an injection short run kit that is a challenge to build. The kit attracted my attention following a complete scratch-built wing fold done on Frog's 1/72 kit. The unique wing fold mechanism adds a lot of [...]

After many long nights, I have finally finished this MiniArt P-47D-30RA Advanced Kit 1/48 with additional 3D printed assets that were created by Plasmo.
This P-47D along with two P-51B Mustangs were my contribution to an Operation [...]
Operation Gisela

This model represents the night fighter flown by the commander of 7/NJG [...]
