Review: MAGIC FACTORY 1/48 Douglas A-4M Skyhawk
Having built a number of A-4's over the years in 72nd and 48th scale. Those kits, Fujimi, Monogram, Hobbycraft and Hasegawa pretty much had the same philosophy of assembly with some minor differences, for example the Hobbycraft kit nose [...]
Meng 1/48 EA-18G Growler
Meng's Growler is a very good kit with nicely engraved panel lines and a good fit of parts. The only criticism I have for the kit is the somewhat crude design of cockpit and related decals. In other words, the canopy is better kept closed.

Falcon 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-12

This is an old Hasegawa kit from 1994 that I had sitting in my closet for the while. The decals were unusable so I built it without them. I painted on the meatballs and hand brushed the tail number with a stencil. I went for a field [...]
What If… RAAF F-16F
This is the third in a series of ‘what if' aircraft that I'm building.
In 1999 the Australian Department of Defence announced Project AIR 6000 "New Air Combat Capability (NACC)", which was intended to find a replacement for the [...]

1/48 SAAF Harvard
1/48 build of the Italeri Harvard MK II a kit in the colors of the SAAF. I should've actually used the Texan T-6 model to be more accurate depiction of the SAAF aircraft, the difference being the MK II had a slightly longer rear canopy. [...]
