Monogram 1/48 P-47D Razorback

This latest build falls into Tom Cleaver's "Build them or Bin them" category. Just one of those models you pic up at a show for $5, I mean what the hey, it's a decent kit and it's only five bucks. So I started this little gem [...]

Review: Halberd Models 1/48 P-51C racer "Beguine"

The “Beguine” Racer: William Paul (“Bill”) Odom, flew for the Chinese National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) from 1944 to 1945, flying “The Hump.” He was determined to make a name for himself in postwar aviation. He did so in [...]

RAAF Over Italy

This the fifth of six P-40s I built early in 2023 for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. A seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

AF-1 Skyhawk Brazilian Navy

Hasegawa 1/48 AV8B Harrier II Plus

Here is an example of a model that almost everything went in directions I did not intend. The model itself is not the best kit...fit's skeechy in some places and certian major things like landing gear wells are omitted but it's not [...]

Free French Fighter

This the fourth of six P-40s I built early in 2023 for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. The seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

Phönix D. I, Special Hobby, 1:48, Stfw. Karel Urban, Flik 14J, 5 victories

This model from Special Hobby is quite good without major tricks. It was necessary to shorten the main intermediate wing struts a little. Further equip the cockpit. I also made a slight modification of the engine and completed the cooling [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 188A-2

My interpretation for the abandoned Racher found by the Allies in Melsbroek in 1945. Twenty five years in display, it shows more similarities to the photographed aircraft than when originally completed with a glazed canopy and a nose [...]
