Everyone who has built this kit knows how basic it is. My first attempt ended up in the standard paint scheme of the period (grey, duck egg, w/stripes). I bought this kit already started, The fuselage halves, including the prop, were [...]
The can opener: Hawker Hurricane MKIID, Hobbycraft 1:48
Hi All,
This is my attempt to make a decent Hurricane MKIID from the venerable Hobbycraft kit I bought on evilbay – how appropriate - from Canada 🙂 . I always liked the Hurricane „Fury without the second wing” look (originate3d [...]

Hobbycraft 1/48 Hawker Hurricane IIC “Night Intruder”
Started more than three years ago, I resumed work on this old Hobbycraft kit a month or so ago. I finished her Saturday, and made my way out to the airport today for a photo session. I messed up the stretched sprue radio aerial loading [...]
1/48 P-40B

It's an old kit, but it goes [...]

Not a night fighter this time but fits right in with my oddball schemes. This aircraft, along with it's squadron mates sported some pretty weird paint schemes while attending the 1939 Cleveland National Air Races. Trying to interpret the [...]

Beetle Bomb was incorporated into the Blue [...]
My Shiny Bearcat/Model Number Eight for the Year
This is the Academy 1/48 Bearcat. Apparently it is also the Hobbycraft Bearcat. I've read reviews that say the cowl is misshapen and the wheel well detail may be spurious among other issues. However, I found the kit to look fine to me [...]
