Year In Review 2022
This wasn't one of my more productive years in terms of total output, which means I need to add a couple of years to my life expectancy if I'm going to complete my stash before I move on to a better world! I would have to mostly blame [...]
Vultee Vengeance 1, A27-48, 23 Sqn RAAF, Nadzab 1944.
1/72 Special Hobby, started early 2020, finished early 2022.
SMER 1/72 P-40L Warhawk, Operation Torch
The kit had some decent recessed details, so I didn’t do much additional engraving or riveting. I did have to make a few corrections to change from a K to an L. I deleted the guns and the pitot and replaced with hollow aluminum rod. [...]

I would like to share with you a couple of photos showing our recent achievement. With the P40 series done we have concluded the P (Pursuit) sub collection with 243 models. As we usually do we try to represent most of the different [...]

It comes with some beautiful 3D printed parts that require some surgery to build the kit.
If I can do it then I would hazard that anyone can.
Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey.
Painted with [...]
RF-101C McDonnell Voodoo, 1/72 Hasegawa
This might be the first boxing of Hasegawa's Voodoo kit. Done up in an early camouflage scheme circa 1964, where the Voodoo had already been operating in Southeast Asia. I used some of the kit's decals, [ which is from an AMT boxing] and [...]
Minicraft/Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler – Desert Storm
This is a rather old kit, but did include engraved panel lines. My experience with Hasegawa engraved lines is they can be a bit too shallow to hold panel line wash well, so I deepened them a bit. The intakes are just solid blanks, as the [...]
Airfix 1/48 TSR 2
Sorry about the photo! I built it when it first came out, strangely the cockpit was better in the 1/72 kit, which had very good decals, not found in the 48 release. Closed up, with tinted windows, you can't see anything anyway. You gonna [...]
1/72 F-35A LIGHTNINGⅡ "65th Aggressor Squadron"
Tamiya's wonderful 1/48 kit has just been released, and now I have put together Hasegawa's 1/72 kit.
Hasegawa's 1/72 F-35A can be easily assembled with a small number of parts.
This time, I assembled this Aggressor-specification thing to [...]
