Mirage 2000 1/48 . . .
Hello Everyone,
8th October is celebrated as Indian Air Force Day. 2020 was the 88th Air Force Day for the IAF. I present the Mirage 2000 to commemorate this day.
The Mirage 2000 was upgraded by the Indian Air Force and was re designated [...]
1/48 Scale Mig-29 FULCRUM Jet.
Back in 2008 I wrote some notation's on several of my photos, which will relate some information concerning what I did to the model. The "Ukraine" had a flight demonstration team similar to our "Thunderbirds & Blue [...]
Nichimo 1:48 Spitfire Mk.IX(?)
This started as serious build, but when I put the plastic up against scale plans, absolutely nothing lined up and I wasn't sure what Mark it was. Usually I'm not a rivet counter, but it was the rivets that threw me off. Bazillions of [...]

Now for Something Completely Different (at least for me) Hasegawa 1/48 Nate
I as a rule never build Japanese aircraft. Not because of any bias, but just because most of their subject matter doesn't interest me all that much. I built this though to have something to enter into the local Dragon Show. A show put [...]
More Spitfirepalooza
Here’s another oldie, the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk. 22/24. As many have commented, this was great kit for it’s time and I think it still holds up very well. The only failing for me with the version I bought was the decals. At the time [...]
