Matchbox 1/72 B-17G (Bomber Command GB)
Matchbox first released this kit in 1979. This is a very basic kit with the typical little details that goes with many of the Matchbox kits. This kit does offer two different tail gunner types that were used on the B-17G and it comes with [...]
Matchbox 1/72 Me-262 (PK-21)
This is a 40 year old build that needed a good cleaning and it also needed to complete the painting on the fuselage and engine nacelle's sides. When I built this in 1985, I never applied the mottle paint patterns. I think I gave up on it [...]

Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A
Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A PK-12 was first released in 1972. A simple and sharp looking kit that took the modeling world by storm, well for someone who was 13 years old back then. But to be honest, a lot of my paper route adult customers [...]

Airfix 1/48 Supermarine Walrus Mk.I
A kit I've been wanting to build for a long time now and when Airfix announced the reissue in January I had my preorder ready.
And what a kit. It just fits together. Even the canopy clicked into place.
There was barely any filler used, [...]
Revell 1/72 Victor K2
The Revell Victor is a 1982 Matchbox mold that builds into an impressive model. Yet, much work is required to eliminate the seam trenches. The engine intakes area is particularly problematic. Also the exhaust area is crudely molded. I [...]
Matchbox 1/32 D.H. Tiger Moth
This is an old build from 1986. A few days ago I gave it a good cleaning after sitting on the shelf for many years. While cleaning the Tiger Moth a lot of memories of the build came rushing back. I remembered this being a nice build and I [...]
My 2023 Builds
It has been a while since my last post so I figured I better get my wheels rolling again. A little late on posting my builds from 2023 but here they are.
A little different year for me but happy with the results. I had my usual fun [...]
