Monogram 1/72 F-11c Hawk
I got this kit at a club auction, in a plastic baggie, with instructions, but sans decals.
I built it out of nostalgia for old kits, built when I was younger, but with an adult 'eye'. I replaced the missing decals with a borrowed 1/48 kit [...]
Airfix New tooled Spitfire XIX
What I love about these new tooled Airfix kits are the simplicity and directness of the design of models. This one was built OOB. The decals work reasonably well given the price paid for the kit and are way better than some more of the [...]
U-96 "Das Boot"
This is the fourth model I built, and after doing three aircraft, I was in the mood to do a warship. The big Revel 1/72 scale U-boat kit was fairly new at the time, and I was eager to see what I could do with it. The kit is absolutely [...]
Worst of the Best? Or: How i rescued a discarded model from certain destruction (Tamiya F4U-1D, 1/72nd Scale)
When was the last time you saw someone build a Brewster Corsair?

Hasegawa 1/72nd scale Fw-190A-8
Built out of box. Used Model Master paints and Eagle Cal decals. Pilot figure is from Hasegawa. Base done with Woodland Scenic products.

This is the Academy 1/72 F/A-18C. I built this OOB with the exception of the ejection seat which I believe was from Quickboost. I painted it with Model Master enamels and the decals are from MAW and were excellent. A very nice kit to build [...]
Revell’s F-101B Voodoo in 1/72 scale
This is my most recent completion: the little Revell Voodoo in 1/72 scale finished in the colors of 444FIS.
The kit is very nice even straight out of the box, but I ended up adding additional detail to several places. Firstly, wanted to [...]
Hasegawa 1:72 F-14A
Hello everybody, this is my Hasegawa 1:72 Tomcat I made some time ago. This is one of the best kits in this scale I've ever made, full of details and a dream to build with no filling or sanding at all. Painted with Gunze acrylics and [...]
Not Yet a Thunderjet: Heller 1/72 XP-84 Conversion
The old 70s-vintage Heller F-84G Thunderjet in 1/72 was converted to represent the prototype XP-84 by cutting the wingtip tanks off and making new tips with styrene sheet, removing the canopy framing and smoothing out/polishing the canopy, [...]
Tamiya 1/72nd scale Fw-190A-3
Built out of box. Used Model Master Paints and Aero Master decals. A fine piece of stainless steel wire was used for the antenna.
