1/72 “Doolittle Raider” B-25B Mitchell
Third time's the charm.
I started on a model of a B-25 Mitchell medium bomber - the plane used by the Doolittle Raiders in April 1942 - over 30 years ago, but never finished it. While at King's Hobby in Austin in the summer of 2015, I [...]
ProModeler Monogram 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
I used ProModeler's decal sheet depicting a B-25J "My Dutchess" of the 499th BS and detailed the surface texture using Accurate Miniature's B-25 mold as an example.
Repairing the Hornet
I started this 1/700 Tamiya 1/700 U.S.S. Hornet (CV-8) in the spring of 1992 after finishing law school, and finished it the following March, complete with build info sheet. The Hornet was depicted as she appeared at the time of the [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 B-25C Mitchell
Vic Tatelman's Dirty Dora is perfectly rendered by Accurate Miniatures. It so well molded that I did not expand the radius of engine cowls being afraid to spoil the build...
B-25D Tondelayo T1/48th scale, Accurate Miniatures 1/48th scale
The goal of the project was to represent B-25D-1 #41-30669 Tondelayo of the 500th B.S. at Nadzab in June of 1944. My key reference is the excellent history of the 345th Bombardment Group Warpath Across the Pacific by Lawrence J. Hickey. I [...]

On January 7, Sag Harbor Express 1945 took off from Tacloban Airfield on Leyte piloted by 2nd Lt. Arthur Browngardt, Jr. on a low level bombing and strafing mission against Clark Field on Luzon. Over the target, it pull up to avoid an A-20 [...]
B-25 1/48 painted to highlight the stressed surface
It was first built in March 2023 and returned to the workbench for enhancements in April 2024.
I've coined the nickname "Inca" for my unique technique of using only painting skills to create the stressed look of airplane skin. [...]
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 [...]
I was wary of Secret Santa, but I stand corrected
Coworkers can turn out to be pretty cool.
This (last?) year my coworkers invited me to participate in the Secret Santa game, or the anonymous gift exchange. I was doubtful, as who could really get another random person, someone we know [...]
Hong Kong Models 1/48 Mitchell B-25J "Glazed Nose"
My first HKM kit and I was really chuffed with the fit of the kit.
It is beautifully engineered and fits together nicely except for the top of the fuselage which gave me some issues.
I believe this is a known issue. I got the seam sorted [...]
