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 [...]

That Little Yellow Plane
The Oscar-winning movie Out of Africa conjures images of the quintessential African setting: breathtaking savannah plains, bountiful wildlife and glimpses of Kenya’s rich tribal cultures. At the centre of all of [...]

In this case I bring you a MIG-21 Bis by Eduard, 1/48, with Had Models [...]
1/48 Airfix Blenheim Mk1
My first completed model this year... I think. Bristol Blenheim Mk1 Green 139 RAF 1938. 1/48 Airfix kit.
Went together very nicely. I'm so excited that Airfix has produced so many wonderful 1/48 Raf subjects. I'm sure they will keep them [...]
Tamiya A6M5a Zero 1/48
Hi there!
Just finished this nice Tamiya kit. Everything OOB and the only real flaw was one of the decals sheet, the smaller one, most stencils. Without exception, all of them cracked as soon as I tried to move them. I used warm water, [...]
Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale P-40, “Kittyhawk III” (Longtail ‘K’), RNZAF
I think Hasegawa's line of P-40 kits are pretty much, the best of the type in this scale. They are loaded with fine detail and the fit is pretty good throughout, suffice to say, they are kits that have been very well engineered.
They have [...]
Sanka Mk.1B
The Sanka Mk.B is a prop driven interceptor from the Sky Crawlers (anime) universe. This is my 1/48th scale, Fine Molds, Sanka. The design closely resembles the Japanese Shinden. Unfortunately, the kit is out of production, and it was [...]
