AZ 1/48 Vultee Vengeance
Another quirky build-part of the AZ mystique. No idea of how accurate it is, but it's the only one out there.
Not good enough for US combat forces, it served well, particularly with the Indian A.F. There is a great account of Vengeance [...]
P-40N Kittyhawk Mk IV Hasegawa 1/48th
Pretty much out of the box,added a vac sliding part of the canopy and had a go at fading the paintwork.The overspray in the wheelwell is intentional as this was often seen.
Eduard 1/48th scale Fokker D VII
Built out of box, using kit photo etched parts. Humbrol and Model Master paints were used. Eagle Strike decals were used for the markings of the "Seven Swabians" as well as the upper and lower lozenge. Stainless steel wire was [...]
Hasegawa 1:48 P-40N Warhawk
I always liked the P-40N, it's my favorite of the whole Warhawk/Kittyhawk family and I always wanted to do white-tailed New Guinea warrior.
Well, here it is, my latest finished build, 1:48 P-40N from Hasegawa.
The kit is beautifully [...]
1/48 F4U-4 Corsair (Tamiya + CMK)
Hello,
This was my fist attempt at a major conversion to get a nice looking F4U-4 in 1/48. It was not an easy conversion as some of the CMK resin shrank but eventually, with a little work and some Ultracast flaps, it all came together. [...]

Airfix 1:48 club Me109 kit with Eduard PE and after market decals, airbrushed with Humbrol enamels.
[Edit: [...]
Tamiya 1:48th F4U-iD
I took up the challenge of a few commission builds, for a chap who builds R/C. His mission brief was for reference kits in 1:48th of RNZAF a/c used in the PTO. Normally his preference was for moderate weathering. However, due to the [...]
F2G Super Corsair Racer Kit Bash
This was one of my first forays into AMS and kit bashing. I started with a Special Hobbies 1/48 F2G Racer, and added the wings from an Academy 1/48 F4U-1A, because I wanted the flaps down, and I wasn't about to chop up a Tamiya kit. I do [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-51D “Little Freddie”
Hello all,
First off, an introduction. I'm currently a senior in high school and I have been modeling for a year and a half. In that time I have ruined a few models but have also pumped out quite a few good ones as well. The pictures I [...]
1/48 AMT Tigercat F7F-3N
Hi again- sorry for the multiple posts tonight- I only have now to do these.
I took the AMT F7F, converted it using the HiTech resin parts, Obscureco props (the kit ones are, well.. backwards), and Squadron canopies, and finally metal [...]
