KP Avia B.35 (1/72)
Scott's article inspired me to pull this out of the case, do some repairs on the antenna mast, touch up the panel lines, and do a shoot. I built this four years ago and wasn't terribly disappointed with the results. The decals were good [...]
Revell 1/72 F4U–1B Corsair – HMS Colossus July 1945 – FAA 1846 Naval Air Squadron
I picked up this little gem last year and have been working away at it off and on for some time.
Despite what Revell says it is more likely to be a F4U -1D, and there is some debate as to whether the makings are right for this time period [...]
1/72 Avro Lancaster B.III
This is the Hasegawa kit that was released around 2005-06. The RAF group build inspired me to refresh my 1/72 bomber collection a bit. This one was too late for the party. I chose this kit over the new Airfix kit simply because it was on [...]

For some time she formed a 'trio' with one pilot (Cap. [...]
F-105F Thunderchief ,1/72 Monogram
Inspired by Greg Kittinger's father's photos, I decided to build an F-105F, using Monograms 1/72 kit. I tried to replicate the markings in Mr. Kittinger's images the best that I could, including the buzz number on the wing tanks, of which [...]
Gotha P60 flying wing in 1/72
Dear iModelers!
This article belongs to category 'what if': it is based on Horten brothers‘ flying wing aircraft concepts. At Gothaer Waggonfabrik they also worked on realizing this futurist concept at the end of WWII. In contrast to the [...]

Spitfire MK Vb F/Sgt. K. Basset, RAAF 1941 (Tamiya 1941)
The motivation to built this model came from an informal Group Build organised in my modelling club SAPMA. The idea was to build a Spitfire used by an Aussie during WWII.
I've choose [...]
Spitfirepalooza Continues!
As part of my continuing “Spitfirepalooza” here’s my attempt at the Revell 1/72 Spitfire Mk. IIa. This was a good little project. The only big fit issue I had was the common wing-to-fuselage step which took a couple puttying and [...]
1/72 Special Hobby P-40N
I just finished this one earlier today. 1/72 Special Hobby P-40N painted with MRP paints. The only things added were the gunsight bead from master and Eduard steel seatbelts. The markings are from DK decals and represent a P-40N from the [...]
