1/48 Mauve P-40M/KittyHawk III
Latest off the bench is the old Mauve kit depicted as the mount that Pilot Officer Geoffrey Fisken flew with 14 Squadron on Guadalcanal in 1943. Added a seat plus some Ultracast wheels to spice her up a bit. A combination of Tamiya paints [...]
Monogram 1/48 B-24D
It had been years since I built a Monogram B-24D. After reading about the Ploesti Raid of 1 August 1943, I decided on the "Squaw". It survived the raid and went to do a Bond Tour. Naturally, the naked squaw was redone and the [...]
Messerschmitt Me109E-3a L-52, Yugoslavia 1/48
In order to get a build done fast, I bought the Airfix Emil. The plan was to get it done fast(?) and OOB(?)
OK – things took a turn at the very beginning of the build. Having been spoilt by eduard 109’s the Airfix item is a bit simple [...]
Revell's 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle
One of Revell's better kits. Went together without any major fit issues. There were some seams to sand, and a few very small areas that needed just a touch of putty. The decals were printed in 2000, and looked iffy at best, but I [...]

Azur 1/48 Potez 630
The main difference between the Potez 630 and the more numerous 631 was their engines. The 630 was powered by a Hispano-Suiza HS-14A/B whereas the 631 utilized a Gnome-Rhone GR 14 M4/5 power plant. This model depicts an aircraft that [...]
Diamond shape Focke-Wulf 190 A-4
My last build is this weekend box of Eduard Fw190 A-4. Not that I (we) don’t have a fair share of this plane lately but I just couldn’t resist this unique camouflage pattern. In fact there were some 109 E that sported this kind of [...]

the Aichi B7A2 Bomber Ryusei Kai {shooting star} allied code name Grace was the new super torpedo and dive bomber plane for the Japanese Navy of great strength and speed in 1944 as a replacement for the B6 Tenzan Jill torpedo plane and the [...]
RAF Sabre
So, a thirty year old kit, painted with thirty year old enamels and wearing twenty-five year old decals... bit of an 'old skool' project wouldn't you say ?
There honestly isn't too much to say, the kit really does fall together and is [...]
