Cessna A-37B Dragonfly
The A-37B Dragonfly was one of those unsung heroes of the Vietnam air war. Over shadowed by more glamorous jets like the Phantom, Crusader, Super Sabre and Thunderchief, the A-37 was deployed to Vietnam to replace the F-100 and B-57. It [...]
1/48 Lightning F.2A
This is the 1/48 Airfix Lightning finished as "King Cobra" , 92Sq. Squadron Leader's aircraft, RAF Germany, 1972. I built it from the recent Airfix re-issue of the 1997 vintage kit. This is the release that you want to get if [...]
The Mother of all Zeroes…prototype #1 (ichi-ban)
Hasegawa's limited-release Zero prototype in 1/48th scale. Built this one a while ago when first released, an easy build. AFAIK there are no images in existence of this machine so we can only hope Hasegawa got it right. The engine/cowling [...]

This is the Tom's Modelworks resin kit. [...]

How far can a LaGG-3 theme go……?
Not too far I betcha but let's see for the helluvit. This too is the ICM kit and as Tom says it has a mishmash of early LaGG features, but oh well. To me this is one of the hottest looking of WW2 aircraft, all pointy and streamlined, too [...]
ICM 1/48 LaGG-3
While the Red Air Force had fielded the most advanced fighter in the world in 1934 when the I-16 joined its first operational unit, it was clear by 1939 that Soviet fighter aircraft had fallen behind the international standard. While [...]
Gavia (Eduard) 1/48 Lavochkin La-7
The Lavochkin La-7 was the ultimate wartime design of a line of fighters that began with the LaGG-3 in 1941. The LaGG-3 suffered from a heavy structure due to its designers unfamiliarity with modern aircraft design and the fact that the [...]
