Second one off the bench for 2022, and my 24th P-40 build. I may have a P-40 addiction from which there is no known cure. Just like this old war horse which saw action in just about every theater with most Allied air forces. [...]
I've always been intimidated by the Hind. It is big and it looks mean. When the Zvezda kit came out, I just had to build it. I'd say it was a much easier build than the Hasegawa Apache but it does require some care and patience closing [...]
Hi everyone
Happy New Year to all!
First one finished for 2022, though was started early December 2021.
I added -
Ultracast seat & wheels.
Master Guns & Pitot
Decals - Owl Decals
The Hasegawa kit goes together well - no real [...]
This is my Hasegawa 1/72 Ki-61 and it is a very nice kit that was first released in 1973. It is also one of the first kits that Hasegawa made with complete recessed panel lines in which as we closed in to the 80's Hasegawa, Tamiya, Otaki, [...]
This F-14 model is the third part in a small series of five Tomcats that I am building in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scale. The history of Grumman's spectacular carrier fighter is rich enough in variations and stories that there is room for five [...]

After the P-40K, my dad has already finished the next bird in 2022.
Revell boxing of the Hasegawa F4U-7 kit, decals from MDC(Model Design Constructions) and the kit, wheels from Reskit, camo done with Gunze H54 Navy Blue mixed with a touch [...]
When Hasegawa released the MC 202 and 205 kits in the '90's they unfortunately were a combination of features of of both aircraft, neither completely correct. The corrections to make the 205 kit more accurate are not really difficult and [...]
I love the Skyhawk- single seat, two seat, various operators, etc. I initially made the mistake of thinking that you could take the A-4M kit and with decals make it an A-4N. I learned pretty quickly, that not all A-4N airframes had ARBS in [...]
Hi all,
Years ago, I carefully sought out 1/72 kits of all the Blue Angels Display aircraft, which led to also looking for 1/72 transport aircraft, then I went on to 1/48...you get the idea. Well, in my focus of getting the 1/72 kits, I [...]
