Tigershark
Last time I posted a What If build here was 2021, since then I've been a little distracted by 'real world' builds, so thought... why not have some actual 'fun' with a quick project. Cracked-open this old Monogram kit about three weeks ago [...]
Fonderie Miniature F11F-1 Tiger
Knowing the reputation of Fonderie Miniature kits, I probably would never have gotten around to building this one had it not been for my club's annual build theme of "Blue." The kit epitomizes short-run multi-media: rough [...]
Oh dear .....
Here is a little diorama I made up earlier this year using the Tamiya 1:48 Dewoitine D.520 kit. I based the diorama loosely on a series of photos of a Dewoitine D.520 crashed landed sometime during the invasion of France 1940.

Hobby Craft 1/48 P-40B "Pearl Harbor Defender" (Kit No. HC1450) 1996
I know some modelers may disagree with me on saying this but I feel this is a pretty decent 1/48 scale kit of the P-40B. It builds up nicely and is an easy build but there were two areas that I felt that needed some attention:

The Great War GB: Nieuport 17, Eduard 1/48
Although I do like the looks of multi-wing aircraft, they are not my favorite ones to build due to their complexity, especially the rigging. After receiving an invitation to participate in the wonderful "The Great War: a Tribute to [...]
Tamiya 1/48 scale P-38F-1-LO
I built the kit mostly OOB, but added an Ultracast resin seat with molded seat belts, and turned brass gun barrels from Master Model. The latter were really necessary because Tamiya only provides decals to represent the cooling holes in [...]

Build:
This AMT kit is a 1970’s era kit. The build was straight forward with no major problems. Along with normal [...]
