Hobby Craft 1/48th Avia S-199
The Avia S-199 was the offspring of the famous Bf 109 and played a pivotal role in the Jewish War of Independence that resulted in the new state of Israel in the late 1940’s. This model represents an Avia S-199 from the No. 101 Sqdrn. [...]
Very generic Hobbycraft 1/144 th scale B-36
Although I was not at "The Home", I built this for a lady whose Father worked on the B-36. He is elderly and she wanted it to give to him before the inevitable happens.
It does not represent a B-36 from any squadron in [...]
F7U-3 Cutlass Of VA-212 aboard Bon Homme Richard 1957
When I reported aboard BHR in 1957 this aircraft was on the flight deck. It was the only one on board and appeared to have been left over from VA-212. I have no other information on this except that it was lifted off and where it went is [...]
1/48 Hobbycraft F7U-3M Cutlass

1/48 Hobbycraft Corsair
Just another fun paint job, adding some old IPMS convention decals that were laying around.
MiG-killing Skyhawk: Hobbycraft’s 1/48 A-4C
Here’s the 1/48 Hobbycraft Skyhawk, the A-4C ‘Vietnam’ boxing. The Hobbycraft A-4C is a decent rendering of the venerable Skyhawk, and will provide a fair example of the A-4 out of the box, with generally good fit. But it has some [...]
Hobbycraft Hawker Seafury 1/48
This is the Hobbycraft Seafury,built mostly OOB except for the decals which are aftermarket from Hannants in the U.K. as I didn't fancy trying to paint the black and yellow Suez conflict markings that the kit decals require,I know my [...]
