Some of my stuff for starters.............

Hi everyone, As a newbie here, I thought I,d share a few pics of my models first before I get into doing a full build. All of the above have been completed in the last 18 months or so, mostly out of the box. Most recent completions are [...]

1/72 General Dynamics F-16C 86-0269 “WA” from the 57th Wg in “Blizzard” camouflage

This is the Academy kit, built using the Two Bobs decal sheet (72-100 from memory). It's a nice kit in terms of detail, but is a bit of a pain to build. I modified the intake shape by adding a triangle of plastic card to the splitter, as [...]

F4F-4 WILDCAT 1/72 Academy

Again set Academy. Slightly altered and added details. Regards, Vlad.

Academy 1/48 F-14B Tomcat VF-14 Tophatters

An oldie from the 'loft insulation'. I built this a while ago but it still looks good. Not a bad kit and would argue better than the Hasegawa kit for the price. Certianly less complicated. When you don't spend big bucks on a kit it's much [...]

Huey Hog gunship

This build was inspired by a scene from the movie WE WERE SOLDIERS, where Huey gunships fly in low to unleash rockets at the advancing NVA. The kit is the Academy/MRC 1/35 scale Huey Hog in the colours of the 114th Assault Helicopter [...]

Textron RQ-7 Shadow Academy 1/35

Hello A small kit, delivered with its base for a presentation in flight. 2 figurines are also included in the box with the decal for realize uniforms. Good kit from academy !

P-47 D “Big a*s Bird”

This is Academy's rendition of Maj Howard Park's P-47 D in quarter scale. Although not on par with the Hasegawa and Tamiya offerings, it is nonetheless an acceptable replacement that with the necessary TLC builds into a fine P-47 D. The [...]

Grumman's pugnacious Bearcat

This is Academy's 1/48 scale rendition of the ultimate Propcat, the F8F-1B Bearcat. Designed as a shipborne air superiority fighter for the US Navy, with a design emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability, the Bearcat proved to be everything [...]

SPAD XIII 1/72 Academy

Remember, I had promised to build a SPAD-13. At this time, an old set of the Academy. Happy viewing! Sincerely, Vlad.
