FM-2 Wilder Cat

For some time I've wanted the FM-1 and FM-2 variants to go with my Navy collection, but I just could not get excited about the Hobby Boss and Sword offerings which need a lot of work. Then I heard rumors about Eduard releasing the FM-2 so [...]

Academy/Accurate Miniatures USMC SBD-1

This is my interpretation of the Douglas SBD-1 Dauntless by Accurate Miniatures/Academy. I really liked this kit a lot, mainly because it fit together well and had an almost extreme amount of interior detail (a lot of which I can't see, [...]

Kinetic 1/48 Lockheed Starfighter F-104N

One I've wanted to do for a while. I picked up the F-104G and some aftermarket Caracal Decals to go for the NASA 104N Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey and Lacquer Gloss Black for the metallic surfaces. Painted with. Colourcoats Dark Sea [...]

FW 190F-9 Green 2

This is the Eduard 1/48 FW 190F-8 ProfiPack. Wanted to do something different that almost put this kit in the rubbish bin. It already comes with the correct cooling fan and larger propeller for the BMW 801TS amid the unused parts. But [...]

1/48 scale Eduard FM-2 "Wilder Cat" kit number 11175 USS Nehenta Bay, VC-8 August 5th, 1945. Lt / JG O'Connor

When I first heard that Eduard was going to be releasing a brand new FM-2 Wildcat in 1/48 scale, I was very excited. I had the older Hobby Boss FM-2 kit, and it fell short in some areas. So I was not in any hurry to spend as much money [...]

The doublepack naval theme continues, first of two Hellcats by my dad. Eduard Profipack 2008 edition, built oob, added EZ Line for the antenna wire. Painted with MRP Sea Blue, Intermediate Blue and AK RC White. Build thread [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-4E Phantom IDF

Although showing its age, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-4E model looks like the real aircraft when completed. It has many shortfalls but, the relatively low part number count allows the builder to get to the painting stage quickly. In this model, I [...]
