Eduard 1/48 Bf-109G-2
The Bf-109G in Finnish Service:
During the Winter War of 1939-40, Finland obtained 24 Brewster B-239 fighters, which were the first completely-modern fighters to equip the air force. These were U.S. Navy F2A-1s, and became the first-line [...]
AMK Mig-31
Here are a few pictures of my AMK Mig-31 which I finished recently. This will be featured in Model Airplane International soon. This is a superb kit, the way it has been engineered to fit together hiding almost all the seams is wonderful. [...]
1/48 Eduard F6F-3 weekend edition
I have wanted to build an F6F-3 with red surrounds on the insignia since I first saw the initial Hasegawa F6F-3 boxing. I like to research my subjects, which can be very interesting and a little deflating at the same time. Apparently it is [...]
1/48 AMK Mig-31 Foxhound
Finally finished after being started nearly a year ago. Loved everybit of the build. Painted with Tamiya paints and weathered with Mig wash 🙂
1/48 F-18B conversion of Monogram F/A-18
I completed this over Christmas break 2016, but have not been able to photograph it until now. I used the leftover two seat canopy found in the Italeri 1/48 F-18 to convert a Monogram 1/48 F-18 into a two seater. It is sad that Monogram [...]
Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat"
Another kit I finished this weekend...
I'm sure we all have built this model at one time or another, maybe even more than once as in my case. So, I will not go through the kit details, but suffice to say, it's a Tamiya kit, and it builds [...]
1:48 Scale, Fine Molds A5M4, Type 96 Carrier Fighter, “Claude”
A beautiful little model by Fine Molds, is this A5M4 Type 96, in 1:48 scale.
It has very nice detail in the cockpit and engine, and the surface detail on the exterior is excellent, especially on the wings. The model builds well, with NO [...]
1/48 Tamiya AD-4 Skyraider VMA-121 Korean War
I was overjoyed when I found out that some AD-4 Skyraiders received armor plate kits in the Korean War. For me, this meant I could use the Tamiya 1/48 AD-6 kit mostly out of the box...er... what I mean is, I wouldn't have to grind off the [...]
My PB4Y-1 ‘Dem Bones
This has taken me since mid-January to get done...not because it is so great but because I am so slow...It is the Revell 1/48 B-24D that I have tried to make represent an Atlantic Theater ASW PB4Y-1 (I think that would be the proper USN [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-3
I started building this to be marked with the kit decals but a photo on the web blew me away.
This is more of a study in interpreting B&W colors than being correct so this is my take right or wrong. I messed up placing the wing [...]
