Accurate Miniatures 1/48 IL-2 Stormovik
Although not their finest model ever produced. Accurate Miniature's Stormovik depicts well the outlines of perhaps, the most mass produced aircraft ever. Ergo, I chose to build it in a nearly completed factory condition. Hence, it is [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 SBD-1 Dauntless
The sublime Accurate Miniatures SBD kit was only marred by the decals that resisted to all solvents that I applied.
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Avenger I
The best kit of Accurate Miniatures and among the finest aircraft in 1/48th scale kit ever produced. The scheme was inspired from a color photograph by Charles Brown that appeared in the Flight Magazine many years ago.
North American P-51
That was Bert Kinzey's summation of the Tamiya A-10 in his Detail & Scale volume. I think it applies to the Accurate Miniatures P-51 series as well. The first three kits released by the then start-up company are now thirty years old. I [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 PBJ-1D Mitchell: VMB-433, Solomon Islands, 1944
This was sitting in my stash for many years before I decided to get started on it last year. I was driven to action after my son in the USMC sent me some photos of the PBJ in the SoCal CAF collection. Mitchells look good in blue!
I used [...]

Buddy building the Accurate Miniatures 24th scale McClaren
I was so impressed with the amount of detail this kit provided that I had to share my discovery with my model buddy Mark Box. The more I raved about it, the more interested Mark became, so we decided to each build one so we could share the [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang
In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 TBF-1C Avenger
Avengers flying in the Atlantic Ocean were usually camouflaged in the white and grey that creates a good contrast on models.
This Atlantic Avenger was built using the excellent kit by Trumpeter. It is a design enlargement of the great [...]
Review: Halberd Models 1/48 P-51C racer "Beguine"
The “Beguine” Racer:
William Paul (“Bill”) Odom, flew for the Chinese National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) from 1944 to 1945, flying “The Hump.” He was determined to make a name for himself in postwar aviation. He did so in [...]
