1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb Trop
This is the Tamiya kit with a few PE and resin bits added. Rivets were added using Rosie The Riveter tools. All markings were painted on using Montex paint masks and the stencilling comes from Hobby Decal dry transfers, eliminating the [...]

Eduard Nieuport 17 1/48 scale
RNZAF F4U-1D
Outstanding 1/48 Tamiya kit finished with equally outstanding decals from Aeromaster's RNZAF special package. You really can't go wrong with a Tamiya Corsair.
1/48 Monogram P-47D
Picked up this kid at a local club in a beat up box with no decals for $2. We can make this work, just add some True Detail wheels, some decals and the pilot because the cockpit lacks detail, and presto-change-o we have a P-47D. Used [...]
Eduard Dr.1 1:48 scale of Steinhauser, Jasta 11
This is from Eduard's fine 1:48 scale Dual Combo Profi kit of the Fokker Dr.1. The model was built out of the box. All color, except for the national insignia and 'face' on the cowl are painted. I used Tamiya acrylics for everything except [...]
My "Frightning"

This is the Airfix 1/48 kit which is probably the most accurate F.1 [...]

Anyone interested in SPAD's should read George's book "Cheating Death" which covers his time [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Fw-190D-9
Somebody say Wurger?
Here's my two cent's worth.
OOB, except for seatbelts, underside painted, balance are kit decals.
Eduard 1:48 F6F-3 Hellcat
Another TMMI submission for a while back. Additions include a Quickboost R-2800, a Jaguar resin interior (meant for the Hasegawa kit), ultracast prop, and assorted other tidbits fashioned out of plastic stock.
Colors are custom mixed [...]
Hobbycraft CF-105 “Arrow”
This is the "New tool" Hobbycraft CF-105, in 1/48th scale. The kit comes in a rather large, sturdy box, which is really needed because this is a big model. I'm impressed with the size of the completed model every time I look at [...]
