1/48 Pegasus EZ Build FW-190
This started life as a club project, where everyone was to build a 1/48 Pegasus EZ Build kit, a snap-tite, any way we wanted to. This done in authentic Kreigsmarine A/C colors, with the obvious float added. Lots of fun, and some [...]
Zvezda 1/48 Bf109F
This the engine I'm working on for my current project. I am really impressed with Zvezda's quality! I will post more pics as the project moves along.
1/48 Hasegawa F4U-7
This is the Hasegawa F4U-7, as flown by 15 Flotille from Arromanches at the Suez intervention, decals from MDC.
40 years ago, I helped restore BuNo 133722, the last F4U-7 in existence and the last Corsair built still in existence, ten more [...]
HobbyBoss F-105D Thunderchief (1/48th)
Here's the HobbyBoss F-105D in 48th. The kit has way too many parts, that make construction difficult, especially the wings. The seperate spoilers on the upper wing are a pain and it's a pain to get the spoilers to lay flat. The same goes [...]

Tamiya 1/48th F4U-1D NZ5255
Here's my interpretation of NZ5255. Photos indicate that this aircraft wore a faded factory 4-color scheme with plenty of fuel and oil staining. Operated by No.21 Squadron (RNZAF) on Bougainville in the summer of '44, this aircraft was [...]
1/48 Otaki P-40E War Hawk
An old, pleasant, OOB build. Nothing special or extraordinary. The paint, as usual, is de-canned Krylon mixed. An affordable way to go.
F4U-5N Corsair, Flown by Lt. Guy Bordelon USNR, The only Navy Ace during the Korean War.
Guy Bordelon was born on 2/1/22 in Ruston LA. He received his wings and his commission in 1943. after a period of time as an instructor he was sent to the Pacific in May of 1944 assigned to VC-87 aboard USS Corregidor. At the outbreak of [...]
1/48 Hobbycraft Corsair
Just another fun paint job, adding some old IPMS convention decals that were laying around.
Tamiya 1/48th Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo, USN PTO,WWII
Tamiya produced an early series of 48th scale model kits in the early 70's. Hasegawa covered 72nd scale while Fujimi did both scales. Then Otaki came along with simple but pretty decent 48th scale kits. Anyway the Buffalo was among [...]
