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 [...]
1/48 Accurate Miniatures P-51C
Started in 23 but finally finished is my first completion in 2024. It is the old A/M P-51C kit which is a P-51B with the tail fillet joint. For some reason I seem to be concentrating on checker tail birds especially those from the 325th [...]
Bunker Hill TBM-3 Avenger
This is the second of two kits I bought at an old-fashioned hobby shop in Staunton, VA (the first was an Academy SDB-1 Dauntless). If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and looking at their stock. The shop is in downtown [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F3F-2
In its short debut in the modelling world, Accurate Miniatures left a lasing mark in terms of well designed model aircraft. One of these is the F3F-2 biplane. A fond build and a shining gem in the display area.
