Monogram B-52C
I built this kit in 1980 as a camouflaged Vietnam aircraft, then decided to re-paint as the C model included on the old microscale sheet about ten years ago. Well recently it lost a few wheels so decided to repair it, picked it up and [...]
RealSpace Gemini Titan 1/72
“After the flight our superiors at NASA let us know in no uncertain terms that non-man-rated corned beef sandwiches were out for future space missions.” – Gus Grissom, Gemini 3 astronaut
Project Gemini was the decisive series of [...]
Revell 1/72 S-100 boat
My Revell 1/72 S-100 German High Speed attack boat from WW2 which I completed during the lockdown period.

Revell 1/72 Junkers F.13

Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero (Tamiya 1/72)
Hi all

It was the time build the Tamiya Zero and I was really impressed.
The overall fitting and crispy details makes hard to believe it's a 1/72nd scale kit.
Kit built OOTB including the [...]
Hawk Bf-109 Repop
Those of you of a certain age (like me) no doubt made several of these old Hawk Models Bf-109s. I could always talk Mom into buying a few of the old 1/72 kits on a trip to Gemco for a few cents.
This nostalgia build (again?!) is a [...]
