1/48 Hasegawa Ki-44-II Hei Shoki
Here are some photos of my recently completed 1/48 Hasegawa Ki-44-II Hei. First released in 1995, I think, this is the newest 1/48 scale Shoki kit available, so if you’re listening, scale model industry, it’s about time for a modern [...]
Hawker 100th: Hasegawa Typhoon lB Bubbletop (late) 1/48
Hawker Aircraft is now a century old, so for this GB celebration build I chose Hasegawa’s venerable Typhoon Mk Ib Bubbletop kit that’s been sitting on my Shelf of Doom since the late 90’s when it was issued and I just had to have [...]
Nightmares Harrier II
No it wasn't an easy build - the work required to get the underside of the LERX's to meet the fuselage was extensive and needed cutting, plastic card, lots of PSR and a fair helping of harsh language. Strangely I found it all to be [...]

Here is my Aichi B7A2 Ryusei Kai ("Shooting Star") "Grace" torpedo bomber. The Grace was a late-war addition to the IJN's air arm and saw some limited action before the war ended. 105 production B7A2s were built at [...]

I don’t recall why I [...]

1/32 Ju87D-8 "Night Stuka", Hasegawa 08171
This is Hasegawa’s Ju87D-8 “Night Stuka”. I tried to replicate the box art which I like very much. The most difficult part of the kit IMO is the canopy. I sanded off the molded on structure and polished it again. Then I tried to add [...]
