A.K.A. “Val”
Here is my just completed Aichi D3A1 Type 99 dive bomber, AKA “Val”. It is a Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit, no ‘aftermarket’ stuff unless you count the seat belts which are aftermarket masking tape, or some of the markings, which I [...]

Kit: Hasegawa 1:32
Hasegawa 1/32 Focke-Wulf FW 190A-7...
This is the old original Hasegawa 1/32 FW 190A of many years ago, but I decided to post it in spite of its age. I seem to have read that it is still considered a pretty good kit, not completely out of the running against the more up to [...]
1/48th Hasegawa F6F-3 Hellcat
When I saw the actual photo of this plane, I just knew I had to build it. Other than the quite unusual white paint trim, it's pretty much a standard WWII tri-color Hellcat. I know it was from a Navy squadron but I have yet to identify [...]
P-40N-5 LuluBelle of the Burma Banshees 1/32
Over the past few days I noticed that the venerable P-40 has been coming out of the woodwork, and some mighty fine works too! This one is the second one in my collection and one of my personal favorites.
These plane represents a P-40N-5 [...]
Heinkel He-111 H6 – Hail and Farewell
Here's Revell's reboxing of the Hasagawa 1/72 Heinkel. My oldest daughter asked if I had a model for her youngest son's bedroom (I'd already given her older boy a 1/48 F4 Corsair), and when I looked through the garage I found this little [...]
Kittyhawk Mk.IV 450 Sqn. RAAF, Vatso, Italy, 1944.
Being very partial to RAAF desert camouflage, I couldn't resist this Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit. Goes together beautifully. The 'No Orchids" cowling panel was apparently moved to successive aircraft , hence the green background to this [...]
Deja Vu all over again....49th FG P-40N
Saw Ralph's model, and said hey that looks familiar. This is the Hasegawa 1/48 version, decals came from an aftermarket sheet, sorry I don't recall the maker. They do look sweet in NMF too bad the P-40Q didn't catch on...
Another 1/48 Hasegawa P-40N
Hasegawa P-40N in the markings of "Island Dream" of the 7th Squadron, 49th Fighter Group, 1944.
The model is essentially OOB other than the aftermarket Aeromaster decals and the use of a vacuformed sliding canopy, so it doesn't [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 scale P-40N
I decided to write this one a little more in-depth than my previous posts. Not a full-blown review by any means, but just a little more “color.” I hope this is an improvement over my previous few posts!
Here is Hasegawa’s 1/48 [...]
