1/48 Hasegawa F4U-4 Corsair, NAS Miami

It's been a while since I have posted an article with a completed build here on Imodeler. I have been very busy lately, with the Midway group build, and some projects going on out in the work shop. The other day my wife and I were in [...]

Monogram McDonnell-Douglas F-15C Eagle

Hobbycraft 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury F.B.Mk. II

Everyone who has built this kit knows how basic it is. My first attempt ended up in the standard paint scheme of the period (grey, duck egg, w/stripes). I bought this kit already started, The fuselage halves, including the prop, were [...]

The can opener: Hawker Hurricane MKIID, Hobbycraft 1:48

Hi All, This is my attempt to make a decent Hurricane MKIID from the venerable Hobbycraft kit I bought on evilbay – how appropriate - from Canada 🙂 . I always liked the Hurricane „Fury without the second wing” look (originate3d [...]
