1/48 SB2C-4 Helldiver
Another one I never posted from a few years back. This is the Revellogram Promodeler kit from the late 90s. The decals were terrible and yellowed, so I cobbled together spares to model a USS Bunker Hill Helldiver. I painted it with [...]
1/48 Brewster F2A-2
Who doesn't like the Tamiya Buffalo? This is one I built a few years ago but somehow neglected to post. I built it straight from the box and finished it with Yellow Wings decals. The only other remarkable fact about it is that it is [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 scale Nakajima C6N1 Myrt
As I built this project I couldn't help but recall an incident that my father told me about while he was stationed at the seaplane base on Saipan, at Tanapag harbor during World War 2.
A fleet of U.S. war ships had entered the harbor and [...]
Douglas A-20 in 1:48 from Italeri
The Douglas 20, sometimes called ”Boston”, sometimes called ”Havoc” is a bit of an unsung hero.
This, and its kool looks, were the main reasons I wanted to build a model of it.
It served in the French, the British, the Soviet and [...]
The last ADC Eagle.
Hello everyone first finish in a few weeks.
This is the not-too-good Academy 1:48 F-15A, I've had this in the stash for a fair number of years and had always intended to build it as a Bitburg machine fully loaded with wall-to-wall [...]
1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter XXI 93 Sqn Borneo RAAF
This is a joint effort. My oldest son started this a few years ago in a model club I ran at our primary school. I cleaned the parts he started up, finished the rest of the build and painted it etc.
He's happy with the colours I picked. [...]
F-16 Belgian solo display
Going back to air show since a very long time, i was impressed during september 2014 at Kleine Brogel (Belgium) by a strong F16 solo display. This good souvenir led me to build this model from the Kinetic Model Nato Viper box. at 1/48 [...]

1/48 Airfix Seafire F.XVII
Have been working on this kit off and on for the past year. Airfix has really upped its game recently. Only thing I think they could improve on this kit would be the main landing gear. The wing attachment points strike me as a little weak. [...]
HobbyBoss 1/48 Sherman M4A2
My second tank in 48th scale is this M4A2 Sherman from Hobby Boss - and why haven't I started doing tanks in the 1/48th before? ))) It's like a vacation after building the aircraft models - just assembling a bunch of 150 pieces, soiling [...]
