Wing Folded Wildcat
Here’s my 1/72 Airfix Wildcat. The problems were probably all self-induced but this one fought me all the way. I found the landing gear particularly difficult and never did get them to fit perfectly. Additionally, it was a good thing I [...]
Anigrand Bell XHSL-1
To satisfy a US Navy requirement for an anti-submarine warfare helicopter, Bell’s Model 61 first flew in March 1953. It was a tandem rotor design, and the first helicopter specifically designed for this role. The name XHSL indicated the [...]
1/72 ESCI AC-47

Living close [...]

1/72 Academy F-4J Phantom US Navy
Not much I can say about this one. This box was sitting on a shelf in my garage for a while. It's a "no glue, no paint" model from Academy that I got from a friend (who got it from another friend). No one was really interested in [...]
