Airfix 1/72 H81-A2/P-40B
Here is Airfix's 1/72nd scale Flying Tigers Curtiss H81-A2 (P-40B) . I really like Airfix's newer 1/72nd scale kits. Some modelers complain about the heavy pannel lines but once the kit is premed and painted they really get toned down to a [...]
Dragon 1/72 Heinkel He 219A-7
Some 30 years back, I built this Heinkel and brush painted the blotches. Recently, I repainted the model with an airbrush to give it the face that it deserves. The model is very good, but Tamiya's 1/48th Heinkel offers much more to explore.
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 [...]
RAF Washington B.I bomber
Now calling this one complete.
The 1/72 Academy B-29 Superfortress done as an RAF Washington B.I as used between 1951 & 1953 by 44 (Rhodesia) Sqn.
Paints used are Halfords Mini Silver for the main colour and for smaller details Vallejo [...]
Sword 1/72 F3D2 Skyknight, encore.
Why to build only one when you can build two at the same time? Same kit, same details and improvements than on the previous one but this time I used the kit decals, except the yellow strake on the nose that I preferred to paint it to keep [...]
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 [...]
