Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoons
It's hard to believe these cardoor and bubbletop Typhoons from Hasegawa are going on 15 years old, but the cardoor kit was released in the summer of 1998, with the bubbletop released that fall.
Traditionally, the hallmark of a successful [...]

Hasegawa F 104S ASA M Starfighter in 1/48 scale
This issue started out as the German 'Bavarian' version until one of my modelling friends informed me that he had served in the Italian Air Force & had some spare decals for this version & intended to build one as well. I couldn't [...]
The second Royal Class Bf 110… this time the E-2trop
Not the easiest to build, but Eduard's 1/48 '110s build into very good looking models with a bit of patience and the occasional big hammer. I may have pooched the exhaust stains on this one- looking at photos that may have been [...]

Today we have Monogram's T-bolt, the old 80's repop that was in the Revell box. This version was issued at around the turn of the century.( Can't believe I wrote that, I remember reading about the turn of the century 1899-1900,yikes). [...]
1/48 Eduard Spitfire IXc
Here she is, 32 days in the making. What a nice kit this is! I finished it with Humbrol enamels and Eagle strike decals, 309th FS, 31st FG, USAAF, Italy, 1944. It assembles flawlessly, despite some odd engineering around the cowl, [...]
Another #$%^#@! Hasegawa Fw-190?
Yeah, another Hasegawa Fw-190 - it's what happens when you buy a stash of kits that were previously owned by a guy who liked the Fw-190 as much as I do. This is the limited-run Fw-190A-9, last of the radial Wurgers. markings from the kit [...]
