A tough ride: Mustang model-rodeo sponsored by Airfix.
This model building project proved to be a tough nut to crack. In order to adapt the kit to my expectations, some changes had to be made, the most important of which I will briefly address in the following: shortening of the main landing [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 KI-84 Frank
looks like we may have a bit of a lovely theme going on here...what timimg
these look like a cross between a P-47 and a bearcat with a little FW thrown in for good measure
1/48 Lockheed F-104A
This is the Hasegawa F-104C backdated to a Tennessee Air National Guard “A” model from the early 1960s. This is one of those planes I’ve always wanted to model but couldn’t get proper decals. IPMS USA came to the rescue this [...]
Finemolds 1/48 Mitsubishi A5M2b Claude
Hi ya'll..lol.
My completed Claude. A fun build though the engine was a bit challenging to fit. In the markings of Hokoku no.132nd, Lait Go, No. 12th naval air corps, China. Love the striking red/bare metal finish. #finemolds

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 [...]
On this Day, Oct. 3rd, 1944. A tribute to Staff Sgt. Thomas J. Bricen Jr. 445th Bomb Squadron, 321st Bomb Group Revell B-25J 1/48 scale
