1/48 Spitfire FR 18.
This is the new Airfix Mk. XIVe kit finished as an FR 18. The XIV/18 are my favorite Spitfires and I’m really glad this kit came about. I bought three of them in early June when they were released. Two were perfectly molded, one had [...]
Eduard 1/48 Fw-190D-11 off the Shelf of Doom
After building the Fw-190D-13 half of this Profipack Double Kit, I set it aside for what must be around 5 years (before the move to the present address). These Dora-9 kits are a lot better than the early Antons. With luck the Dora will be [...]

Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G 6 Late.
Hi there,
I know, as if we're missing more '109s around here. But, for me, this one is special, my first motling attempt. I tried to be as close as possible to the manual and I'm happy with it. Hope you'll enjoy!
This one was Oberleutnant [...]
Williams Brothers 1/48 Ford Flivver
Hi All,
This is a delightful little kit. I added a lap belt, instrument bezels, some stretched sprue rigging for the tail and spark plug leads. You could probably do it in a weekend but I took a bit longer because as usual life got in the [...]
Airfix 1/48 Curtis H81-A3 (P-40B Tomahawk)
This is a nice kit but my problems started when I decided to put the Aires cockpit in it. It was not that great of an improvement to the kit parts and it was too wide. I sealed the fuselage and inserted it as a unit up through the wing [...]
