Hello everyone! Presents its latest model, the Fiat CR-32 from the company Classic Airframes . I am very glad that it ended, because the building was not easy. I hope that you will like the result. Enjoy watching!
Building a Better Hornet….Improving Classic Airframe’s DH Hornet in 1/48th
I've always been intrigued by the lines of this plane, sleek and muscular at the same time. While not used in great numbers due to the rapid pace of jet powerplant development it saw extensive use in the battle against communist forces in [...]
Classic Airframes Fokker DXXI 1/48
This is the Classic Airframes 1/48 Fokker DXXI that I built in 2013. A very labor intensive bit of work it was, but I am very happy with the end result. Unfortunately I do not have any pics of the interior build progress. It was a very [...]

I love my CA kit, but can't help but wish I used the time building something else. I'm dying to see the [...]
1/48 Classic Airframes Bf 109B-2
This was built primarily out of the box with an Ultracast seat added and the prop pieced together from a CMK 109E prop. The documentation is all over the place on this aircraft. I have seen it referred to as a B, C, and D in [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 Westland Whirlwind Mk. I
This is my Classic Airframes Whirlwind I, from the 2003 re-release of the Classic Airframes kit.
The Westland Whirlwind was, at the time of its initial appearance, one of the most advanced fighter aircraft ever built. Unfortunately, it [...]
My Supermarine Walrus 1/48 Classic airframes
Hope you like. My first real go at rigging. Not counting Tamiya's Swordfish rigging kit parts that came with it. It was fun. 🙂 For some reason, the last two pics are upside down... No idea why. Lol.
