Tamiya 1/48 F51D Mustang

My SAAF No2 Sqn 'Flying Cheetahs' from when they flew in the Korean war. The kit used was a 1/48 Tamiya F-51D Mustang (Korean war version). It is a replica of 'Clink Clinks'. The yellow underwing tanks are the napalm tanks used along with [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F-14A VF-41 "Fast Eagle 102"

Tamiya awesome 48 scale kit with Quickboost seats, Wheeliant wheels and Eduard RBF tags. Furball decals. Finished with Gunze Aqueous with an oil wash.

Eduard 1/48 Bf 109G-4/R6

This is a remake of a previous build of this aircraft that met an unfortunate demise. The figure was intact and matched the pose for Schiehs so I replaced the original Hasegawa build with the Eduard. This is pretty much box stock except [...]

Revell 1/48 Ventura Mk II

I have recently completed this 1/48 Revell Ventura Mk II. The kit went together fairly well and the only problem areas I found were the weak rear wheel strut (reinforced mine), the very minute contact areas for the bomb bay doors if open [...]

1:48 Eduard He 280 Experimental Jet

Here’s what I thought would be an E-Z weekend build: Eduard’s 1:48 He 280 ProfiPACK 2018 re-pop. The molds have held up well considering they date back to circa 2005 when Eduard was just starting their rise to excellence and began [...]

Review: Eduard 1/48 Fw-190A-8/R2

While the Luftwaffe was fairly successful in attacking Eighth Air Force bomber formations in the “Twelve O-Clock High” head on tactic, the closing rate was so high that pilots did not have an adequate time to take aim on a specific [...]
