KOMRADE ‘KOBRA!
See! I can play this game, too!
This is the Hasegawa 1/48 P39N/Q kit, built OOB with tape harness. I used an Aeromaster AM sheet to depict a VVS machine that served not one but 2 aces, one after the other. This is the mount for the first [...]
P-39s you say? OK. Here’s a 1/48 Eduard P-39Q-6
Done "awhile back" like Bill's, this is the Eduard P-39 kit done as a tactical-reconnaissance field conversion P-39Q-6.
The P-39 came early to the New Guinea campaign, with the first aircraft arriving at Port Moresby's Five Mile [...]
A Pacific Devil-P-39Q
One of my "Built a while agos"... Eduard's 1/48 P-39Q. The Q model was the last of the line, featuring underwing .50 cals in pods. Many users removed these, especially the Russians who were it's major operator. "Devastating [...]
F-105D Flown by Colonel Robert L.Stirm, USAF Ret. POW
Col. Stirm is another member of our little "Military Mafia" lunch group that meets each week to solve the worlds problems. It is indeed my privilege and honor to know him and call him my friend. Our lunch group has an interesting [...]
AD-6 of VA-165, USS Oriskany, 1962
This was built from the Tamiya kit using AeroMaster decals. Aside from the decals I built this out of the box. I have no idea of who the pilot was or any further history of the airplane. I just liked the scheme. I left it rather clean as I [...]

This model was made out of [...]
1/48 Hasegawa F-16N
This is a Hasegawa F-16N (cobbled from an older mold F-16C) that I had sitting for some time awaiting the base light grey camouflage...
Around February break, I decided to finally get moving on it. The complicated splinter scheme put me [...]
1/48 Monogram F-14D
Here is my Monogram 1/48 F-14D. It started life with the markings out of the box, which I found out later were incorrect- it can't be stressed enough- look for pictures of the aircraft you are modelling! Nowadays with the internet, it is [...]
Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck
Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck, with 30 victories one of the top RAF aces of the Second World War, joined the RAF in 1935 at age 19 on a short service commission, following two years at sea as a cadet.
Tuck did not at first take to flying, [...]
MiG-killing Skyhawk: Hobbycraft’s 1/48 A-4C
Here’s the 1/48 Hobbycraft Skyhawk, the A-4C ‘Vietnam’ boxing. The Hobbycraft A-4C is a decent rendering of the venerable Skyhawk, and will provide a fair example of the A-4 out of the box, with generally good fit. But it has some [...]
