Hasegawa 1/48 Ju-87B-2 Stuka N. Afrika
This is a kit I built about 15 years ago, and has been languishing on the shelf ever since. One of the early builds with no WIP . Also suffered some damage and lost pieces on a move a few years ago. But I did find a couple of images I [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 Fw-190A-3
In the fall of 1941, just as the RAF was beginning to get a handle on dealing with the Messerschmitt Bf-109F in its “Non-Stop Offensive” (called by the Germans with good reason “The Nonsense Offensive”), a new player arrived on the [...]
Ansaldo A.1 Ballila – Progress 2
A bit further along now. If you're wondering why these Progress reports aren't set up in WiP, there are only around 50 parts to this resin kit, and so I thought it unlikely to merit a full-blown WiP thread. This present post is in fact the [...]

The Making of A Demon: WIP Hobby Boss 1/48 F3H-2 Demon
This particular model has certain sentimental value to me because it is the last model purchased by my mother prior to her passing. For years now, really since I have been married with kids, I no longer get any fun Christmas gifts. Now [...]
1/48 Hasagawa Harrier: The VTOL Warrior of the USMC
Always loved the USMC Harrier II version of this famed jet so a few years ago I decided to build my 1st Harrier. I apologize that I cannot say to much about my build experience b/c I built this some years ago. I do recall it was an [...]
1/48 Piaggio XSP-2 “Super Veloce” (1938)
Piaggio started in the aeronautics field in 1915. As with most Italians, racing was in the blood. The 1920s served as an important time in the company's history when, Piaggio Aero brought on Giovanni Pegna and Giuseppe Gabrielli, two [...]
