1:48 Monogram A-4F Skyhawk

Here's one of my older builds, the Monogram 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk, that I convertted to an -F. I think the Monogram Skyhawk is is second only to the Hasegawa A-4's, and is probably the best A-4 for the money. The biggest drawbacks are a very [...]

Flak 88

Here is the nemesis of a lot of the aircraft posted here. It is an original release Bandai 1/48th scale kit that came with figures & transport carriage (not shown). These were exceptional kits for their day. There was a whole series [...]

Eduard Spitfire Mk.IXc

Another kit finished, this one is Eduards excellent Mk.IXc with Brassin cockpit, wheels and exhaust. It's finished as an aircraft from No 453 Squadron RAAF.

Supermarine Seafire XV in 1/48

Let me start by saying I’m not the world’s greatest modeller. Nor am I the fastest. I am however a Spitfire/Seafire-holic and what you’re now looking at is a seven month labour of love. But let’s start at the beginning… This is [...]

1/48 Monogram Stuka

Another nice, old kit from one of our favorite companies of years past. As with most Monogram models of that era, a fairly straight forward build yeilds a decent looking replica. These kits provide a good starting platform for [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1a Corsair

I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.

Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”

This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]

US Coast Guard MH-65C

This model represents the USCG H-65 "Dolphin" short range helicopter. Dating back to the 1980's, this twin engined aircraft is the Services' standard shipboard aircraft, certified for all weather and night time operations. My [...]

1/48 Monogram Do-335

Another old Monogram kit, with an option to build the two-seater. While it shows it's age, it still holds up pretty good, as do most of the older kits, with a little work. As I dip into the stash, I recall why I bought these in the [...]

Monogram A-26 part 2

As promised, a few shots of the A-26 on a base with her pilot. George, it only took 11 weeks this time...! The base is a scrap piece of 3/4 oak plywood I had lying around. The edge was routered to make it look a little nicer. The [...]
