Messerschmitt 108B Taifun Swiss Air Force
In 1938, the Swiss Air Force was looking for a new Fighter aircraft.
The tests of the Messerschmitt aircraft showed consistently positive results,
after which immediate procurement took place.
In order to be able to immediately retrain the [...]
Grumman Goose Airliner
In 1936, a group of wealthy residents of Long Island, including E. Roland Harriman, approached Grumman and commissioned an aircraft that they could use to fly to New York City. In response, produced the Model G-21. It was a high-wing [...]
1/48 TA-4PTM conversion
This is a Classic Airframes TA-4J, modified into a TA-4PTM, by the fitting of a Hasegawa A-4C nose cone. Also, they carried a windscreen wiper, so I added a spare one I had from a Hasegawa A-4E kit. The Classic Airframes TA-4J was released [...]
1/48 Hobbycraft A-4PTM
A-4PTM
Here is the Hobbycraft 1/48 A-4C, which comes with Malaysian markings, and a number of issues to be fixed! I built this as an A-4PTM (Peculiar To Malaysia) a long while back, when the kit was first issued. The A-4PTM was developed [...]
1/48 Tamiya FW-190
I got this as a gift a few months back. I don't normally do German aircraft as I am scared off by the complex camo schemes but I decided to give it a go.
This was enjoyable because I was just focused on a nice result not super realism- I [...]
Kinetic 1/48 S-2E Tracker
Kinetics Tracker is a complex build of an unusual subject. The model is better built with the wings folded. Beyond the space saved in the display area, the compact model is more dynamic looking sine it reveals the underwing stores and [...]
Mr Goodwrench Goes to War – Eduard 1/48 FM-1 Wildcat
My latest attempt at model building is this 1/48 scale Eduard FM-1 Wildcat. Of the six or so different paint schemes, I chose this one representing VC-1 stationed on the USS Block Island (CVE-21) in 1943.
On May 29, 1944, Block Island was [...]
Academy 1/48 F-111E
The origins of the F-111 can be traced back to the early 60s, when both the USAF and USN were seeking their new supersonic, heavily armed, twin seat, twin engine aircraft, where Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, formally directed [...]
Monogram's 1/48 B-26 Marauder "Flak Bait"
I built this kit once back in 2017, only about a year into the hobby. So as you can imagine it was not that great. Since my skills have come along way since then it was time to replace the original with a new one. I regretted that [...]
Revellogram's 1/48 P-61 Black Widow "Jukin Judy"
The reputation of this kit proceeds itself. I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby, the box art caught my eye. That was when I was still fresh to the hobby, and didn't know how bad this kit was. Fortunately before I attempted it I [...]
