Academy 1/72 Bf 109 E-7 in Japanese livery
James Kelley posted his version of this scheme from a FineMolds kit ((link) ), and I loved the scheme. I've since discovered there is some controversy over what the colors really were on the 109s secured for evaluation by the IJAAF (see [...]
T-54B, Polish Service (1/72)
T-54B
In Polish service, circa 1960.
I admit that this decal variant actually belongs on a T-55.
But this T-54 is one of my earlier works when I came back to the hobby and didn't take this fact so seriously at the time.
!Please forgive me [...]
1/72 Sword Models Fairey Gannet AEW.3
I built this one for a friend of mine, whose Dad actually built them as an aircraft engineer. I didn't expect much from it, but it's actually a really good little kit from Sword. The fit of the major parts is close to flawless. Really nice [...]
Heller's 1/72 Dewoitine D.501
I decided to build something different and went with an interwar French fighter plane from the 30's. A monoplane with fixed gears and an inline engine. First released as the D.500, then D.501 and later the D.510. They were obsolete by the [...]

P-40F of 325th FG Checkertails, Lt.Col. Robert L. Baseler personal aircraft. 1/72 conversion.
I always wanted to model this aircraft. There was a limited run 1/72 kit with these markings but I missed the boat when they were more easily available, I found the kit recently on a site overseas, but it was cost prohibitive. There was a [...]

Revell 1:72 Avro Lancaster "Dam Buster"
This kit has really "done my head in" lol
Started off really well, then turned into a "comedy of errors". First off, a decided it would be a good idea to spray the camouflage at about 3am (after a 12 hour work shift), [...]
P-51D Lt. Robert W. Williams 100th FS, 332nd FG. 1945.
This kit of a Red Tails P-51D, is one that I never heard of, Premium Hobbies, It's a nice kit and went together well but I think that the shape is a little off. My niece got this for Christmas, they are finally listening to me, 1/72 kits [...]
