Avro Vulcan 1/72
This has to be one of my finest models and I never expected it to be. It is an Airfix kit and had its fair share of problem, but now looks great and is a great addition to my room. I decided to sharpie over the cockpit instead of keeping [...]
1/72 Heller Alpha Jet Kit No_257
I have been away from scale modeling since 1990's - I can't remember the last kit I actually built. Getting close to retirement, I figured I better make sure I still have the patience to get back into it.

I would like to show you this model, which was built some time ago, because it is a classical kit rarely seen built. I hope you like the pictures!
The designation "WB-47B Stratojet" will perhaps interest some readers; because [...]
Jolly Rogers F9F-8 Cougar VF-61, 1956. Hasegawa 1/72.
This is Hasegawa's F9F-8 straight from the box. I used the kit decals of VF-61 Jolly Rogers, which held up pretty well, I think the kit is a 1990's boxing. I originally intended converting it to a twogar but then Sword came out with their [...]
