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

1/72 B-25D.

This is the new mold Airfix kit that came out in 2018. I built it straight from the box and finished it with the kit supplied decals for the 23rd AS squadron in 1942. This unit was based in Tampa, FL and made deployments to Cuba, [...]
