A Special SpAD
The Tamiya A-1H Skyraider is one of those must-build kits if you have any interest in the Vietnam War and model in 1/48th scale and an example for the collection has been on my personal radar for quite some time but I'd always managed to [...]
Eduard 1/48 Fw 190-5 Light Fighter – Walter Nowotny

Hasegawa 1/48 P-40N

Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24 Hind
I've always been intimidated by the Hind. It is big and it looks mean. When the Zvezda kit came out, I just had to build it. I'd say it was a much easier build than the Hasegawa Apache but it does require some care and patience closing [...]
Tamiya 1:48 T-55
Another Tamiya quarter scale gem. I wanted a short term project so I did this OOB and also did limited the weathering. One error I ran into was that the instructions have you make the cables a little too long. The finished product is [...]
