Airfix Supermarine Swift 1/72
Another one done i have wanted to for a very long time. The Swift may not have been super successful but it looks great. This is what a jet from the 50ies is supposed to look like. Plus, that blue belly just got my attention.

HobbyBoss F-5E Tiger II
The Northrop F-5 is a twin-engine, supersonic light fighter introduced in 1962. The F-5A, named the Freedom Fighter, was reliable, maneuverable, relatively cheap to produce and maintain, and was popular with foreign militaries looking for [...]
The Spirit
This one I did quite a while ago but I thought I might share it with you. It is the 1/72 Northrop B-2 Spirit made by Testors. This kit is quite a thing. It took me almost a year to get it done with some others to step out of it and step [...]
1/72 TBM-1.
The U-boat war continues in 1/72. I picked up this Hasegawa kit for $6 at a show last year and just got around to building it. I figured my Airfix Wildcat needed a partner. This is actually the second Atlantic TBM that I’ve ever [...]

ICM 1/72 BM-21 Grad
In my long ago stint in the military I was an expert at identifying all vehicles and aircraft in the Soviet arsenal. At that time the BM-21 was a fearsome weapon and there was no equivalent in the U.S. inventory. When I saw the recent [...]
AZ 1/72 D4Y3 Suisei
The origins of the D4Y can be traced back to 1938, when the Imperial Japanese Navy Aviation Bureau (Kaigun Kōkū Hombu) issued requirements for a carrier-based dive bomber to replace the Aichi D3A. The emerging aircraft would be a [...]
Sword 1/72 F3D2 Skyknight
VMF(N)-513, late Nov 52. #23 was the first Whale to achieve a kill during the type deployment on the Korean War early that month and a second kill on Jan 53, I decided to show it during the period in between those events when the squadron [...]
