Super Bug

Other than the Harpoon missiles, what you see here is exactly what comes in the (very substantial) Meng box... and IMHO is one of the best 1:48 kits available today. Everything fits perfectly, I don't recall using anything more than a [...]

Review: 1/48 scale MiniArt P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt "basic" # 48023 Kit Review

This is a model that I knew I had to get my hands on once it was available. Lo and behold, it was offered for "Presale" at Squadron a month or so ago... Just when I spent too much on other kits for Christmas and I thought my [...]

1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle

This kit was built about 5+ years ago in what I would describe as my first serious attempt at building scale aircraft. Up until that time I had mostly been doing 1/350 ships but after I saw an article in Fine Scale Modeler with this kit I [...]

Ju-87B-2 MKHL

According to Aeromaster Decals description, this was the most flamboyant B-26B that ever flew. With the colorful teethed eagle head it flew with 599th BS, 397th BG. Then, the aircraft was passed on to 387th just before the end of the war, [...]

Revell 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Kit #85-5253

A nice little kit with a few problems. Took a little over a month to complete. The cockpit is pretty sparse. The rudder pedals were blobs so I placed Eduard pedals over them. I made harnesses supplied by a company called Kam I Zukuri or [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6

In spite of some fit issues, Dragon's Ju 88G variants have been a favorable topic. The variety of FuG antenna arrays and camouflage schemes culminated in the build of nearly two squadrons.

Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader

This build was the Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader. It was detailed with Eduard photo etch detail sets for the cockpit and the bomb bay. I also used the SAC metal landing gear set. The scheme is the “Maggie’s Drawers” of the 416th BG – [...]
