1/72 PV-1 Ventura Gunship

Started with an Academy kit (pretty nice, except the wing root joint). I opened up the throughway from the cockpit to the cabin, and then felt I better add the navigator and table in case you could see it. Shouldn't have wasted the effort [...]

1/72 Harvard Mk 4 “Goldilocks” Display Team, RCAF

This started as way to turn an old "dog" Testor T-6 kit into something pleasing to the eye - I secured a set of Leading Edge decals for a colorful Harvard. Opened up the Testor kit, saw NOTHING in the cockpit and was planning on [...]

Academy+CMK conversion AH-6J "Little Bird" 1/48

Hi guys, This is my first converion, using CMK AH-6J conversion, the base kit is the cheap Academy OH-6 kit. The fit of the CMK is perfect. I also srachtbuild the engine bay base on pics I found on the net. Weathering black bird is so [...]

M3A1 Stuart, Academy 1/35 scale

First model tanks I've built since oh...1980 or so. I decided to give this one it's own name and not build any of the 4 versions this kit has decals for. I just kind of wanted a name on there that looks like it was "scrawled on in the [...]

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 [...]
