Hasegawa N1K2-J ‘George’, 1/48. The Violet Lightning.
Seeing certain aircraft sometimes brings back a memory, for me the N1K2 reminds me of playing Combat Flight Simulator 2 when I was 8 years old, I always thought of it as the 'fat Japanese plane with the big guns and the cool cockpit'. [...]

Ford Flivver. 1/48 Williams Bros.
Here's one I've been wanting to add to the collection. It started out as a weekend build last week, but I needed time for my gloss blue to dry. As it is one week is stellar for me in terms of getting a kit done!
I don't know the actual [...]
Tamiya’s P-51B in the livery of Don S. Gentile’s “Shangri-La”. USAAF 4th Fighter Group early 1944.

Macchi MC 202 from Hasegawa
My version of the Hasegawa Macchi MC 202 presented for iModeler colleagues. This kit is just 'aces'! It builds so amazingly well. It is painted in Model Master enamels.
The MC 202 Folgore mated the famed (and feared) DB 601A1, [...]
1/48 Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk 9
I actually started this model around 5 or 6 months ago for the De Havilland Group, but life jumped up and bit me on the backside. The virus got bad here in Texas and really slowed things down. Then my daughter had a baby (our first and [...]
Video: ICM 1:48 I-153 Chaika “Winter Version”
