Tamiya 1/48 J2M3 Jack
This is a 50 year old kit but it holds up pretty well. It has raised panel lines but they were easily re-scrible. Decals are a bit thick but are nice none the less.

CC-130J Canadian Super Hercules RCAF Built from Scratch
This is the CC-130J Super Hercules, most modern variant of the Legacy Hercules Transport Aircraft, built and designed by Lockheed Martin. I built this one from pine, engraved with a wood burner. Flaps are down, at takeoff position, wheels [...]
1/48 Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.Ib [Trop]
My first completion for 2022, actually started in late 2021 but couldn't finalize the build until now. The kit I used is Airfix's boxing of the Sea Hurricane but all the parts are there to do a Trop version. You do a little surgery add the [...]

After the P-40K, my dad has already finished the next bird in 2022.
Revell boxing of the Hasegawa F4U-7 kit, decals from MDC(Model Design Constructions) and the kit, wheels from Reskit, camo done with Gunze H54 Navy Blue mixed with a touch [...]

1/48 ESCI A-4Q conversion
I bought up a lot of 1/48 ESCI A-4's years ago, and was not aware of the issues with the kit. The canopy is closer to the real A-4 than the Monogram canopy, but the exhaust area of the kit, is more of an ogival cross section than the [...]

My third A-4, and last for a little while, is the Monogram A-4E kit with improvements to the kit, and modifications to build it as an ex-Israeli A-4H in service of the Indonesian Air Force- TNI-AU.
The first issue to deal with on the [...]
1/48 Classic Airframes IAF TA-4H
Here is my second IAF Skyhawk- a TA-4H. The Classic Airframes kit is quite good- with a few issues. The best part of them is the lack of "step" on the leading edge of the wing, for the slat. on the real plane there is no step [...]
1/48 Hasegawa IAF A-4N
I love the Skyhawk- single seat, two seat, various operators, etc. I initially made the mistake of thinking that you could take the A-4M kit and with decals make it an A-4N. I learned pretty quickly, that not all A-4N airframes had ARBS in [...]
