Show report: Blue Angel Modelfest in Milton, FL.
I attended the Blue Angel Modelfest in Milton, Florida yesterday. The show was sponsored by the Pensacola Modeleers. This was a fun way to spend a day with fellow enthusiasts from the Florida panhandle and south Alabama. It was a really [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-4E Phantom IDF
Although showing its age, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-4E model looks like the real aircraft when completed. It has many shortfalls but, the relatively low part number count allows the builder to get to the painting stage quickly.
In this model, I [...]
Hellas Hurricane
This has been in my stash for around fifteen years, so with the immanent arrival of the Arma kit, I decided to dig it out and have a go. What a great experience, said here before just how much I love the 1990's era Hasegawa 1:48 WWII kits, [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-8E Crusader
In the real Crusader aircraft the panel lines are not so obvious. Yet, I made an exception to enhance the 3D feel of this classic naval fighter.

Other than the [...]
Canadian Falcon? A kids eye view.
My 7 year old nephew, Noah had some ‘great ideas’ of how a Canadian F-16B would look. On his first visit, we quickly assembled the Hasegawa kit D14 - he clipped out the parts and he held the parts in place while I dabbed the CA glue, [...]
1/72 F-16A No.322 Sqn RNLAF "40th Anniversary"
I had this Hasegawa ‘F-16A-Plus’ Kit 601 partially built for some time and decided to finish it, but I wasn't sure which scheme to choose for painting.
