Hobby Boss Me 262
The HB 262s are the best compromise at the moment. Outline wise it still is the old Monogram leading the charts. It is a greater effort to close all the mad riveter holes than to create "rivet replicas". What I don´t like with [...]
1/72 Hobby Boss Mi-2URP Hoplite antitank variant
A real quick build on this Hobby Boss Mi-2, only one month. I added some pylon supports, extra rotor head details, along with some light weathering. The national insignia were difficult to apply over the large vents. I used all six of the [...]
F-84F Belgian Air Demo 052 1966
F-84F-56-RE 52-7216 Belgian 052 air demo aircraft 1966. My model is kitbashed based on the Hobby Boss 48th kit. The HB kit is quite good externally, albeit with a few pooched features, the most notable of which is the spurious refueling [...]
F-84F Hobby Boss
F-84F-45-RE 52-6675 USAF, Hobby Boss 48th built from-the-box. I obtained an advance kit and, by arrangement with SAMI, did a first-build article which was published in their Feb 2014 issue. There were problems with the nose and vertical [...]

Last of 2014: Hobby Boss 1/48 P-47D-25
Last model of 2014: Hub Zemke's P-47D-25 - "Oregon's Britannia."
No less than Jimmy Doolittle praised Zemke as his “greatest fighter group commander.” Some may claim Don Blakeslee deserved the role, but Zemke was a [...]
Ta-152 C-1 1/48 HobbyBoss 81702
This baby is ready for take-off just before the new year. Took me around 2 weeks, has it's warts and all but nothing dramatic - all in all a great kit; highly recommended.
I wish everyone a happy 2015 and more scale modeling, enjoy.
HobbyBoss 1/48 Ta 152 C-1
The C-1 was the low to medium altitude version of the Ta 152 and in all probability, according to the available references never got to full flying prototype stage.
This project is a bit of a "what-if" and has been finished as [...]
Hobby Boss 1/48 F4F-3S "Wildcatfish"
Before the war, the Imperial Japanese Navy wasn’t the only one concerned about the provision of air power in an island campaign across the Pacific. The U.S. Navy was also well aware that between the time the troops stormed ashore and [...]
Hobby Boss Bv-141B-O
The asymmetric Bv-141 is perhaps the strangest airplane to fly during the Second World War and one of the strangest ever to fly anywhere. Despite its counterintuitive looks, it was an excellent aircraft which was rejected by the service [...]
