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 [...]

The “Beguine” Racer:

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 [...]

Flight 19 TBM-3
Hi all,
Had these photos ready for quite some time, but never seemed to have a moment to post this past summer. Hurricane Lee has provided me two days (while I have power and internet) to finally post this.
I have FINALLY built my 1/48 [...]
Academy/Accurate Miniatures USMC SBD-1
This is my interpretation of the Douglas SBD-1 Dauntless by Accurate Miniatures/Academy. I really liked this kit a lot, mainly because it fit together well and had an almost extreme amount of interior detail (a lot of which I can't see, [...]
North American P-51A Mustang – Accurate Miniatures 1/48
Moving along to the next of my recently completed builds, I've finished a model that many are familiar with, the Accurate Miniatures P-51A kit. Much has been written about these AM early Mustang kits, and while they are not in fact as [...]
