This is my first post on Imodeler. I recently finished this AMT 1/48 scale Douglas BD-2 (A20) Havoc. It is based on a photo of an actual aircraft (Bu 7095). The Navy took possession of several A20's from the Army and used them for [...]
Oh yeah! Recently got this beauty done and it looks great on my shelf. I got this model for $14 off Amazon and made the stand out of the top of a coffee container. The model was very well made but the amt decals were garbage. With no [...]
I know it may be too early to post, but since this was a Christmas present for my sister and is leaving today I had to get some shots.

A quick easy build after my Special Hobby Fiat Br20. Amt 1/48 P-40N-20 Cleopatra 111 flown by Wing Commander G Atherton 80 Squadron RAAF Noemfoor July 1944.

My friend dug this out of storage, and asked me to build it because he had a stroke and lost hand dexterity. I was honored, and thrilled to do this for him. I took my time with it, and took days off when I was frustrated. It is not the [...]
For the most part, I'm almost done with this kit, but I wanted to go ahead and photograph it. I still have yet to paint some details on it such as the end of the warp nacelles and so forth, so it's about 98% complete.
Definitely an old AMT [...]
