I have recently started making model aircraft again for the first time since my childhood.
I thought some people might be interested to read kit reviews and builds from a nearly total newbies point of view, with all the challenges and [...]
1/72nd P2V-5 Neptune Conversion
I wanted to build an earlier version of the P2V Neptune and selected the 20mm cannon armed P2V-5 as my subject. The Hasegawa 1/72nd P2V-7 kit was the starting point and I used the fine Falcon P2V-5 vacuform conversion set for the major [...]

U.S. Coast Guard Post War Aircraft
I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]
