Classic Airframes 1/48 J-2F 5 Duck
A challenging model like most of Classic Airframes' kits. Although the rigging is minimal, there are some fit problems to resolve. Loose wires were discovered during the photography session and were stretched back to place.
In the end, the [...]

Review: Another Rescue from the Department of Lost: Classic Airframes S.79 "Sparviero"
I built this model 20 years ago when it first came out. I am including the review I wrote then, since Eduard is re-releasing this kit in February 2024, with the Spccial Hobby plastic and Eduard resin detail parts, and an Eduard decal [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 SM.79 Sparviero

I only had one A5M Claude in my Japanese collection, (A5M4-K by Classic Airframes), so recently I built 2 Claudes from Wingsy Kits. This was my first experience with Wingsy Kits, and they are exceptional, a real pleasure to build. One [...]
Facing Challenges
I've heard that there is no such thing as a bad model kit. There are just good kits and challenging kits. I recently built a couple of challenging kits of historically notable aircraft--ICM 1/72 Ghost of Kyiv and Classic Airframes 1/48 [...]
Models I had to work at
The Spitfires I posted were modern well-detailed kits that fit together nicely. So I decided to post some of my more trying kits this time.
FM-2- This is the Sword kit. Thank god for spares boxes. This kit decided to fight me from the [...]
Blenheim Mk I, Finnish Air Force 1942
The Blenheim MK I was modified from a civilian concept aircraft for a small high speed 6 passenger transport (Bristol Type 142) in 1935. The success of this concept impressed the RAF and they issued specification B.28/35 for prototypes of [...]
