Gotha Go 244B
Hello all,
This is my 1/48 ICM Gotha Go 244B. KGr.z.b.v 106 Special Purpose Battle Group, Kirovohrad 1942.

Monogram 1/48 Scale F4J Phantom
I built and modified this kit back in 1990. It's been in storage for 30 years. Some pieces separated so I decided to put it back together and clean it up a bit.
Noorduyn Norseman
Here’s my 1:48 Modelcraft UC-64A Noorduyn Norseman I picked up cheap at a contest a few years back. The main complaint about this kit is the exaggerated rib/fabric detail. It had the “starved cow” look. I sanded the ribs down until [...]
