1/72 AZ Models X-3 Stiletto
The Douglas X-3 Stiletto has the perhaps singular distinction among airplanes as not being nearly as cool as it looks. I mean, it screams FAST. Instead, it was stubbornly subsonic and exhibited potentially catastrophic roll [...]
Toko (Eastern Express) 1/72 Bell P-63C Kingcobra
My first P-63 Kingcobra, I really enjoyed my recent Revell P-39 Aircacobra which also made me interested in bringing a Kingcobra on to my collection. Started out as an easy build but found some parts had to be trimmed, sanded and filed [...]

The Tale of the ME109's...
I'm a prop driven fighter guy.i love 109s p51s f4u corsairs all those beautiful planes.so I decided I wanted a bf109 with full engine and machine gun detail.

I don’t recall why I [...]
Airfix Blenheim Mk.I 1/72
Finally finished this Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mk. 1 in 72nd scale. Even though every review warns about the fiddly canopy and even though i already did this kit a year ago, i still am somewhat disappointed and have very mixed feelings [...]
P-47S Thunderhog? for the twenty first century. 1/72 Revell.
This started out as Revells 1/72 P-47M. Until my twisted mind spent too much time figuring out what scheme to choose. The result is a somewhat updated Thunderbolt. Utilizing modern ground attack weapons, some additional bumps and antennae [...]
Revell 1/72 Shackleton AEW
Here is my Shackleton built pretty much out of the box but I added screen wipers and detailed the cockpit.
An unusual scale for me although it is still quite a large kit when finished.
The model was finished with Tamiya XF's and, as I [...]
