Incom T-65B X-Wing Starfighter
My daughter got me this beauty for Christmas and I dove right in. It is the Bandai 1/72 "X-Wing Starfighter" boxing of the X-wing as seen in Episode IV, the first movie and to me still the best. If like me you have never built [...]
Academy F4U-1
I picked up this kit (which included the Fairey FD-2 kit from FROG) at a recent contest for a very reasonable price from a friend running a vendor table.
It seems Academy kits can be “hit or miss” in quality. I think this one is good. [...]

My 1/72 Airfix Gloster Javelin T.3 as made in Feb 2022.
Paints used are Vallejo Model Color Dark Sea Grey, Dark Green, brush painted & Halfords spray can Mini Silver. The masks for the camo scheme were home made using 40mm Tamiya tape [...]
Revell 1/72 U.S. Navy Swift Boat Mk.1
My recently completed Revell 1/72 Swift Boat Mk.1.
Once again this is mainly brush painted. The only spray paint used is the under coat red on the lower hull.
The flag was printed off on printer paper, folded in half over some 0.25mm [...]

Airfix 1/72 early fabric winged hurricane. Kit decals.
Grumman SA-16A Albatross 1/72
I have always made some effort to build Brazilian theme models, so I have several items in my collection. They usually are hard to build due most of the kits have some differences in comparison to the real thing operated in Brazil, so [...]
29 - 1/72 Hasagawa VF-1S Strike Valkyrie
I love Macross (RoboTech) kits, they really are nicely made and I had so much fun with this.
I was having problems with the AK weathering pencils and watercolour pencils so I challenged myself on this build to weather only with the [...]
AMP 1/72 X-20 Dyna-Soar
They can't all be winners, unfortunately. But you can always learn something along the way. I am not sure whether it was the kit or me, but I ran into issues that I couldn't fix. The fuselage is very thin and flimsy and when I tried to [...]
P-51D 1:72 Tamiya from Pacific. Luzon 1945.

What can you say about the Mustang model from Tamiya? A model from over twenty years ago, which I believe, defends itself very well today. After an exciting end of the year, I took up something simple and nice. Santa came out to [...]
