Tamiya 1:48 Spitfire Mk.Vb Kit #61035
Tamiya kit...say no more. I've been waiting a long time to do a model of an aircraft that participated in "Operation Starkey". (link) I was originally going to buy decals for a clipped wing Mk.Vb, L⦾SH s/n W3320 as seen by [...]
ProModeler Monogram 1/48 P-38F
A re-boxing of the venerable Hasegawa kit featuring new decals for the early P-38 types. The model represents a veteran aircraft with a high mission score that belonged to the 27th FS of the 1st FG when based in Tunisia during [...]
Eduard Fw 190D-9 1/48
I have completed the D-9 which will accompany my Fw 190A-7 in an upcoming Diorama. I chose to not weather it as much as I did for the A-7, but still went heavier than normal.
Please enjoy!
Avro Anson Mk I (Airfix 1/48)
In 1933 the Avro 652, a planned high-speed, long-range mail carrying charter aircraft was under development when the British Air Ministry issued a specification for a twin-engine general reconnaissance and multi-role aircraft for both the [...]
AWACS USN Style: 1/48th Kinetic E-2C 2000 Hawkeye
Kinetic first released their 1/48 E-2C Hawkeye kit in 2009 and I would say it is still the best Hawkeye kit in any scale (if you have the room). The kit has been updated since its release with new parts and reissued. My build is of the [...]

Kinetic's F-16I kit, the advanced Falcon version dedicated for the requirements of the IDF, comes with a complete IDF dedicated accessories and decals. I added resin ejection seats to enhance the realism of the open cockpit. The build [...]

ProModeler Monogram 1/48 Me 410B-1
Another adorable model by ProModeler. It was criticized for panel shape in the tail unit and some fit issues. Yet, overall it makes an eye catching representation of the fighter that did not materialize the expectations.
I added Aires set [...]
Eduard Fw 190A-7 1/48
What a journey building this A-7! I will be finishing up an accompanying Fw 190D-9 within a few days and will be starting a diorama they will be displayed on.
I chose this specific scheme for its unique color pattern. It called for RLM 76, [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G Belgian Starfighter
A very nice model by Hasegawa. Cockpit and ejection seats by Aires. The Belgian Air Force Starfighters had Lockheed C2 ejection seats with a cradle-like harness, which is well depicted by Aires.
Unfortunately, in this particular model, the [...]
