Hobbycraft 1/48th Dornier Do. 17Z "Flying Pencil". Luftwaffe ETO WWII
In between graduating from USC, then Navy and trying to build a Navy, I would pick up kits here and there. Not building for a few years. Still the urge was with me, but once I started to build back in the early 90's the 5th model to [...]
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 [...]

1/48 A-4F
This is a Hobbycraft Scooter kit finished with Humbrol paints and Cutting Edge decals. I'm a big fan of the HC A-4s. A bit less detailed, but alot cheaper then Hasegawa Scooters. They also come complete with a large array of weapons.
Roden 1/32 Nieuport 24
The Roden Nieuport 24 kit done as the airplane flown by Charles Nungesser. This airplane is hard to track down because the superstitious Nungesser kept the rudder (with serial "1895") from his Nie. 17 and put it on all his [...]
Frank Luke’s SPAD XIII – Hobbycraft 1/32
There is no pilot of World War I in any air force who more fits the mythology of the "Great Flying Ace of the Great War" than The Arizona Cowboy, Frank Luke. The working-class kid with no education around a bunch of upper-class [...]
