Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IIc Trop 213 sqd.
I received this kit from a friend a while back and I started it then. That was about a year or so ago. Since then I lost some pieces, had a really bad time with my skills on the pit and the engine so there it sat, in the stash awaiting [...]
Malta Aircraft museum
Here are a few shots from the aircraft museum on Malta, as you can see the Smithsonian it aint but it is all operated and owned by volunteers and is a credit to them. There is an IPMS group on Malta and there is also a display of there [...]
Foreign Hurricane
This is a recent club challenge build of a Pegasus snap-together kit in 1/48th scale. I am surprised that a $10 kit designed for beginners would have wheel well and cockpit detail -- chunky, yes, but respectable nonetheless. I decided to [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 early Hurricane I
The Classic Airframes Hurricane I is the only 1/48 kit that offers the opportunity to do a "ragwing" Hurricane. It is obvious the designers looked at the Hasegawa kit, which they corrected by changing the lower wing part so the [...]

It’s Hurricane time so…1/24 Trumpeter IID “Tank Buster”….
One of Trump's better efforts, IMHO. The spinner is a bit too long but otherwise I think the lines are pretty good and the rivets work in this scale. What possessed me to do a kit of such largesse I'm not sure, but I do love Hurricanes, [...]
Yay! Half a day today. Figured I’d post one up…Pac Coast Hurricane I….
Fabric wing model 1/32 scale. To me the early Hurricanes are the best looking-that pointy nose just does it. The Pacific Coast kit is pretty good, the only big issue being poor wing fit. It has a real good interior, nice surface detail and [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane IIc "Persian Trainer"
This was done about ten years ago. I had an extra set of Hasegawa cockpit interior parts, having done one with a resin cockpit for a review, so I decided that since I had this old Aeromaster sheet of foreign Hurricanes with markings for a [...]
Stars of the 1969 movie “Battle of Britain” seen together for the first time! (1/48 collection)
Seen last fall at a model contest just outside of Baltimore, as the crowds admired the many impressive models attending the event, a group of aging movie stars was seen gathered together on the collections category table. An enterprising [...]
Turkish 40′s Fighters
Here some Turkish fighters were in service during WWII. I was always interested in WWII fighters and when I discovered many famous fighters had in service under star and crescent, I found myself in plastic model world starting late [...]
