‘Rasberry Ripple’ ETPS Hawker Hunter in 1/48 (Academy)

Hi all, Had a crack at the limited edition Academy 1/48th scale Hawker Hunter release over the weekend... didn't really like the schemes out of the box and have been wanting to do an Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS) 'Rasberry Ripple' scheme [...]

“What If” F-111K RAF

I'm not a great one for "what if" modelling, but I made an exception on this because this so nearly DID happen. When the Labour party cancelled the TSR2 (the best strike aircraft the RAF never had) they then bought into the [...]

Academy F-15C Eagle.

Hi friends, here's my latest work, an F-15 C Eagle from Academy. I opted for the Alaska National Air Guard version. The kit had good quality, with good fittings, almost no use of puty for corrections. I chosed the black polyester base [...]

Academy Il-2 (early) 1/48

Soviet Ski Team, 1940. Single seat Il-2, straight wing. Easy meat for German fighters, led to the development of the Il-2m3. A really nice kit, fairly innovative engineering but a straightforward build. Highly recommended.

IDF Magach 7

This is my first attempt in quite a while at modeling. For the most part, this is the Academy Magach 7C kit with a few scratch built add-ons and edits. Overall a good kit but it looks way too high on the road wheels. I tried to modify [...]

Academy 1/72 F-22A Air Dominance FighterThe Raptor

This is my latest build; the Academy 1/72 ADF where I have added an Eduard zoom-kit and the Aires resin exhausts. The resin sidewalls of the latter fitted really badly so I decided to scratchbuild the walls out of styrene sheet [...]

Nosing across the finish line just before midnight….

Well...a few days before midnight! My goal was to finish my VF-142 F-4B before the New Year and I made it! The Academy kit is over all pretty good, there are a few well documented areas that need addressing, but overall it is a fun build [...]

Academy, 1/35, IDF M163 vulcan

Hi guys, this is my Academy, 1/35, IDF M163 vulcan. Colors and weathering effects by Ammo Mig. Lots of scratch build was needed for the idf version. Have a great day everyone!

Academy P-51B 1/72 (modified)

What a classic! One of my all time favorite airframes built during WWII. This model was so much fun I lost track of time. I even added some photoetching to the flight deck. I have the history on this plane but I’m not one two write a [...]

FINALLY FINISHED

With the emphasis on the title of the article, one might think this kit was the biggest pain in the rear to ever be made, this really isn't the case. As mentioned in the previous posts, the only real issues with the kit was the bomb bay [...]
