1/48 MiG-21

For my second build of 2024 I chose this MiG-21 kit. The model is the 1988 OEZ kit made in Czechoslovakia. By today's standards it is a basic & primitive kit, but when it first came out it was considered by many to be the best MiG-21 [...]

Bf 109G-4/R6 of Regia Aeronautica (Eduard 1/48)

Well, I found another interesting non-standard Bf 109 paint scheme. Eduard included a nice RA option in their G-4 ProfiPACK, so it was a no brainer for me. A great addition to my 109F in Spanish markings. I followed Eduard's instructions [...]

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. The spectacular look of the aircraft in the Champlin Collection was an inspiration for me. At that time, the aircraft was displayed following the first restoration effort consisting of [...]

Revell 1/48 P40 B Flying Tiger

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1

The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.
