Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1a Corsair
I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.
Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”
This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]
US Coast Guard MH-65C
This model represents the USCG H-65 "Dolphin" short range helicopter. Dating back to the 1980's, this twin engined aircraft is the Services' standard shipboard aircraft, certified for all weather and night time operations.
My [...]
1/48 Monogram Do-335
Another old Monogram kit, with an option to build the two-seater. While it shows it's age, it still holds up pretty good, as do most of the older kits, with a little work. As I dip into the stash, I recall why I bought these in the [...]
Monogram A-26 part 2
As promised, a few shots of the A-26 on a base with her pilot. George, it only took 11 weeks this time...!
The base is a scrap piece of 3/4 oak plywood I had lying around. The edge was routered to make it look a little nicer. The [...]
1/48 AA FBC-1 ("Soaring Flying The Leopard")
This is a BIG aircraft, and a very basic, inexpensive kit of a Chinese fighter in demonstration team colors. Everything about this kit is minimal, including detail and decals, but the overall size is impressive, and it looks [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Desert Storm A-7E
As I love the F4U Corsair, I also love one other aircraft that carried the name- this one, Hasegawa's 1/48 A-7E Corsair II built as a Desert Storm HARM launcher. I am flabbergasted at the lack of operational Desert Storm A-7E markings out [...]
VF(N)-101 F4U-2
This is the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-2 Corsair in VF(N)-101 markings. More recent research suggests the side color may not be black, but rather fresh Sea Blue over the Intermediate Blue, but as of five years ago, this is how the VF(N)-101 night [...]
Roden 1/48 Sopwith-Strutter 1 1/2 VVS RKKA
Hello everyone! Another airplane with red stars, this time from Roden Sopwith Strutter. The assembly of the box, nothing special, and the option selected "based on". Of the shortcomings - too shiny hood, but it is only in the [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-4B VMFA-122
Hi All,
I am glad to finally finish this particular kit. It sat partially assembled for years with a Black Box cockpit, and decals ready to go. I added Seamless S*****s intakes, Cobra Co Exhausts, and used an Eduard F-4 canopy etch set for [...]
