U.S. Coast Guard Post War Aircraft

I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]

P47D-RE25 Brazilian Air Force (Italy 1944) ACADEMY 1/72

Hi there! It's me again! This time with a P47D painted in Brazilian colours during WWII in Italy 1944. The Brazilian 1st Squadron was attached to the American 350th Fighter Group and was based in Tarquinia, Italy. This model was easy to [...]

206 the hard way done!

Well, I am glad she is finished, but what a fiddly kit it was to build. I think I made a few of my own problems by doing some things out of sequence, like adding the landing gear at the end (which requires modification of the mounts early [...]

Academy (Easy kit) 1/144th SU-25 Frogfoot

The SU-25 Frogfoot is the Russian equivalent of the USAF A-10. It's not graceful looking, but is pretty much "purpose built". I guess that's what has always attracted me to it. In this particular case, I had little choice but [...]

Academy 1/35 scale M1A1 Abrams

Hello all! This is a kit that I built for a buddy. I took these pics before I applied the custom decals that I had made depicting a 2ACR tank from the Battle of 73 Eastings. I should have took more after decals, but they were just the [...]

Building the Academy 48th scale MIG in the digital scheme.

I wanted to do this scheme the first time I saw it on an F-18, but I did not want to do all the masking to achieve it. Fortunately good things come to those who wait, and sure enough the MIG arrived with all the hard work done as a kit [...]

Hughes 500 Defender T.O.W. 1/48

This is academys 1/48 kit of the Hughes 500D with TOW anti-tank missiles. A very nice kit to build and there is a number of different kits using the same basic moulds. It has good detail and a good fit. I built it almost out of the box, I [...]
