AF-1 Skyhawk Brazilian Navy
Seeing the Hasegawa A-4M built as an AF-1 inspired me to post pictures of an old build of mine.
This is the Hobby Craft A-4N "Israeli" boxing that also came with decals for the Brazilian Skyhawks. I built this kit back in 2013. [...]
The world is upside down! An attempt to capture aerobatics in a model: Zlin Z-526AFS in its proper element
About the idea of an aerobatics presentation
Sometimes it is worth looking at the well-known or seemingly self-evident from an unusual perspective. We are all familiar with the term "aerobatics" and everyone will probably [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 A-37B Dragonfly
A nice thing in this site is that I discover models to build that I overlooked in the past.
Trumpeter's Tweet is one of them. It is a nice small kit loaded with features. However, Trumpeter is week with the details and does only part [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
1:48 Scale, Tamiya A-1H, 'Skyraider'
Calling this one, DONE! Second for 2024 as well. and I am on a roll.
This is a really good kit and you can build a fantastic model right from the box. I did use some after market, a couple of Quickboost items, (Gun barrels and canopy [...]
1/48 F-106A
Trumpeter kit with Aires cockpit, Wolfpack exhaust, Reskit/wheels tires, and Master Details pitot. Used Caracal decals for scheme and Fundekals for stencils. Tamiya Acrylic paints. A generally pleasant building experience with the [...]
Capital Guardian- F-4D, 113th wing, DC Air National Guard
I've done the Tamiya B, the Meng -G, so I'll round this out with the Zoukei-Mura -D.
This Guard Phantom is a MiG killer, just not with the DC Air National Guard. 66-7661 bagged a MiG-17 and MiG-21 in Vietnam, and it belonged to the 555th [...]
