VF-74 Round up
Three Phantoms- one old build, two fairly recent, The first is I believe VF-74's first scheme of the 1960's . I used an old Hasegawa F-4J which really is a 'B' because of the thin wings, Airfix decals, crudely dropped the slats and flaps [...]
Hasegawa 1:48 Scale, Aichi D3A1, Type 99, Carrier Bomber, ‘Val’
After seeing Terry's beautiful D3A2 model posted yesterday, I thought I'd stick my neck out with one I had built a few years back. It's a terrific model, that fits well, and a subject that really needed to be updated, considering that the [...]
Shelby Cobra Jagermeister Racing
Here's a quick build before I go away back to work for the remainder of the month.
Apologies again for defacing another classic. The kit was originally the Fujimi 1/24 of the Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. I threw the instruction book away and went [...]
Fujimi 1/72 B6N1 "Jill" or "Tenzan"
Fujimi did a nice rendition of the Nakajima B6N1 carrier attack bomber. It can be built using bombs or a torpedo. It's a very simple kit, well done for it's age. Another old, enjoyable,quick build.
