Shark week continues: 1/48 Monogram P-40B – Charles Older
Back in 2004, a modeler sent me what turned out to be a Monogram P-40B kit in a box of other parts. Looking at it, I realized it was a first-generation mold, from way back in 1965 when the kit first came out (a date I remember since it [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-40E 112 Sqn RAF, pilot- C Caldwell
This model of the old times. P-40E, Hasegawa, painting brush. No aftermarket, only decal on Tally-Ho. There will be time - be sure to gather another P-40, only the paint is going to like everything - the airbrush)))
Westland Wyvern in 1/48 scale from Trumpeter.
Trumpeter have really done us proud. Not only do they issue well engineered (mostly) kits, but they produce models you are unlikely to see from other manufacturers for anything like the price. My Wyvern was built out-of-the-box with only [...]
1/48 Hasegawa P-40K
John Hampshire's P-40K of the 23rd Fighter Group, aka Flying Tigers. The kit is the Hasegawa P-40K with Eduard color etch and Baracuda Cals Decals. The kit was a pleasure to build and presented no major issues as long as you're careful [...]
Monogram 1/48th PBJ-1H (B-25H) Landing on ShangriLa
As kid I loved the line of Monogram 1/48th scale aircraft models. Their bomber series let you build highly detailed good looking models that represented the planes that won the war in Europe and the Pacific. I always liked the B-25 G [...]

"Ruthie" is from the 340th Bomb Group, the "real" Catch-22 outfit [...]
Hobby Craft 1/48 Bell P-59 Airacomet
Since this was my first attempt at building a jet, why not build America's first attempt as well. Did purchase a True Detail cockpit set and it fit extremely well, the kits office is a joke. Saw a photo of a P-59 with drop tanks so I added [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 He-51 Legion Condor
Hello everyone, today we have the early period of the Luftwaffe - He-51. Model of Classic Airframes, quite good, but still requires work hard. The cockpit is almost completely self-made, a lot of fuss was with landing gear. Was not easy as [...]
British Corsairs – Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A
Both Corsair IIs, the FAA designation for the Vought-built F4U-1A.
The British were the second-largest user of the Corsair. While the US Navy was sending the Corsair to the Marines because it couldn't operate from a carrier (too bouncy, [...]
1/48 Monogram B-25H
Received this kit as part trade from the daughter of an IPMS modeler. Was one of my first attempts at building a twin prop AC. The B-25H was designed as a commerce strafer and carried a 75MM cannon in the nose as well as four .50 Cal Mg's. [...]
