IDF Sho’t Kal & M51 Super Sherman

Hello everyone! It's my first post here. These are my works on IDF's Sho't Kal & M51 Super Sherman. They are in 1/35 scale, from AFV Club and Academy respectively. I built the M51 first, so you could see some differences, or [...]

CF-104 CAF Starfighter ‘1971 Tiger Bird’ – Academy 1/72

This build was a testing stage for painting this Tiger Meet scheme after seeing a similar paint scheme at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. The biggest concern was being able to completely separate the Yellow from any Black overspray [...]

1/72 Academy F/A-18A RAAF Hornet

Hi Everyone Finished this one that has been sitting around for sometime... It is OOB bar the decals which are from Ronin Decals and features a 77 Squadron RAAF Hornet from Operation Okra 2017. Loadout not 100% accurate as only had kit [...]

F-8E CrusaderAcademy 1/72

Hi everybody! Here is another older build from around 2007 or 2008. It was built straight out of the box and painted with either Tamiya or Gunze-Sangyo acrylics. I believe I used a watercolor wash for the panel lines. I don't remember [...]

F4U-4 Academy 1/48 "Wrong Carrier Landing"

What happens when you drink too much and land your aircraft on the wrong carrier? The crew takes you to record what happened, they give you food, and when you return your plane is vandalized with jokes and paint. I have always wanted to [...]

Lockheed P-38J Droopsnoot

A really nice Academy kit of a lesser known version of the Lightning. Built during the 2020 debacle. One of a large number of great kits that I've classified as 20/20, meaning at least twenty years old and purchased for less that $20.00. [...]

1/35 Academy 'Stug IV'

This is the Academy Stug IV. Pretty simple kit, but at 1/2 the price of other similar kits on the market its pretty good. Went together well and wnen it's all finished it definitely looks like it's ready for action. I've always wanted to [...]

ACADEMY 1:48 Grumman TBM-3 Avenger Kit Number #12285

I've had this kit for a long time; it's an Accurate Miniatures re-pop. I've been wanting to do this as an Atlantic Scheme and settled on this version. The thing that delayed the build for years was the lack of information on the underwing [...]
