The A Shau Valley, March 10, 1966, Rest in Peace Col Fisher, January 11, 1927 – August 16, 2014
Because of Col Fisher's passing I decided to share with you the story of a model I built and the experience I had because of it. I do not tell this story often, it's not really about me but what a very gentle man from Iowa did for me [...]
1/48 F-8E Crusader
Robert Bausch's nice Crusader posted a few days back inspired me to post mine. We did the exact same thing, Esci decals on a Monogram Crusader. I added a lot of stencils too, from an old Microscale F-8 sheet. I remember shortening the [...]
The 1/48 Mirage F1C-200 from Esci
Hello everyone,
after the Mirage IIIC, I present the Mirage F1C-200. This is the old model Esci 1/48 on which I added landing metal FM brand trains. The pilot resin is PJ brand.
Thank you again and good weekend to all.
FJ-3M Fury of VF-124
This is the ESCI 1/48 kit dated 1983, of the FJ-2/3 Fury. Up to the point of the release of the Collect-Aire Models, kit in 1997 this was the only game in town for a Fury in 1/48. Still today I know of no other kit in 1/48 of this airplane [...]
Saab Viggen with “Splinter” camouflage
Many years ago I fell in love with Saab, both aircraft and cars. In September 1974 I flew from Beale AFB to Farnborough in England, in the C-141 support aircraft, as an Air Force artist covering the Lockheed SR-71 record breaking flight [...]
1/48 ESCI North American FJ-2/3 Fury
I had this one sitting around for centuries, before I decided to build it. My Fury stash had to start somewhere, so I chose the oldest one first. Most people, it seems, did not like the ESCI version. I don't know how accurate or [...]
1/48 ESCI Henschel Hs-129
This is the old 1/48 ESCI Hs-129, which still holds it's own, from a distance. Like most my others, it's OOB. It was the Eastern Front, winter scheme that caught my attention after building my first Hs-129 in standard Luftwaffe camo.
1/48 ESCI F-86 Sabre
The price was right, and I had some old decals laying around, so this old bird got thrown together. Even though it's not even up to Monogram's standards, it still looks ok for it's age. The interior leaves a lot to be desired, as do most [...]
A4 Skyhawk ESCI 1/48
Some aircraft look best in certain colour schemes don't you think? the phantom looks best in U.S. navy colours,the Spitfire looks best in classic battle of Britain colours and for me the Skyhawk was born to wear Isreali 1970's camo.
This [...]
