Revell 1/48 PV-1 Ventura
A very nice model by Revell.
1/48 Tornado GR.1 with Paveway IIs and Tiald Pod for Balkan Ops
This was a long project that I'd wanted to do for a while. I've always loved the late Cold War/early 1990s RAF Tornado GR.1 camouflage schemes; and I'd come across a blurry photo of a 617 Squadron Tonka taking off for ops over the Balkans [...]
Layers of War: 1/48th Academy F-4C Phantom II
Back in the 80s when I got interested in Vietnam era aircraft, I started collecting reference material from books and magazines (because this was before the Internet) One gem of a book was Lou Drendel's "...And Kill MiGs". I [...]
Tamiya P-51D-20 "Stinger VII" Very Long Range
Here is the older, but still very nice 1/48 P-51D kit dressed up as Maj. Robert Moore's "Stinger VII" based out Iwo Jima in August of 1945.
I sourced the decals and the drop tanks from the Eduard "VLR" special edition [...]
Kitty Hawk 1/48 Sukhoi Su-22M4
The Su-22 was the backbone of the Syrian Air Force for many years to carry out bombing missions.
Kitty Hawk's Fitter is a mixed bag containing plenty of details together with bad fit and part design. Fuselage is divided to 3 sections [...]
Captured Fw 190F-8

Revised: Hasegawa 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4/7 Trop.
Having consulting references for my previous post ((link)) I noticed that the old Hasegawa kit instructions were outdated. Eduard's color diagram of the same aircraft showed more details. The aircraft "had European camouflage scheme [...]
Phantom Cockpit Museum Exhibit in 1/48
Step right up! The new Phantom Exhibit is now open!
Oh, the things that come from a modeler’s work bench when one has too much time.
I was working on a project that back-dated a Phantom to a very early F4H-1. The conversion kit [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II
The D-Day stripes were a good incentive for another Swordfish build.
The JUG! Golly, it's a big one...
Hi'all !
Here's a Tamiya's 1:48 P74D Razorback. Decals by Techmod, they depict a machine flown by Francis 'Gabby' Gabreski (Franciszek Gabryszewski, Polish parents ;). I was aiming for some more variations of olive drab, but it all [...]
