D-Day C-47A of the 94TCS / 439TCG at Devon U.K.
This aircraft was flown by the Group Commander of 94TCS / 438TCG, Colonel C. H. Young. The painting on the nose of the aircraft is of a sailing ship named Argonia. Argonia was the hometown of Colonel Young. I have the utmost respect for [...]
D-Day C-47 Skytrain
Well, it's 9:15 p.m. Central and I just finished mowing my Dad's yard. Now that work is over, I can contribute to the D-Day build.
I know I said I could get this done in two weeks, and I probably could, but a Gloster Javelin, Yak-38, [...]

It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]
1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 In The Markings Of VF-44 In 1949
I just finished this Corsair yesterday. It's the 1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 done in the 1949-era markings of VF-44. The kit is very well engineered with the exception of the fitment of the cowling where it joins with the fuselage. The cowling [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-101B Voodoo…
I built this one a couple of years ago. Wow, what a big airplane the F-101 is! Makes the F-105 look little! And those tiny wings. I have always liked the Voodoo, in some ways it is more distinctive looking than the more famous F-4 Phantom [...]
A work in progress. Just for fun, can you tell what it is? Yep. Hs 126.

Torn between BoB or Balkans markings. Hmm...
