Witchcraft, The Enchanted Liberator
Here’s my build of “Witchcraft”, the enchanted B-24H Liberator of the 467th Bomb Group. The kit is Monogram’s 1:48 B-24J that I picked up at a bargain table for $5.00 at a contest a few years ago. There were no decals, and someone [...]
Monogram 1/48 Messerschmitt BF 110G-2 "Zerstörer"
Monogram's late Zerstörer retains the blunt lines of the fighter/bomber. It has some fit issues, notably the lower joint of fuselage and wings. The model was also criticized for the shape of engine nacelles and small spinners.

Big Hairy Bird: Two models of one Marauder
According to Aeromaster Decals description, this was the most flamboyant B-26B that ever flew. With the colorful teethed eagle head it flew with 599th BS, 397th BG. Then, the aircraft was passed on to 387th just before the end of the war, [...]
Monogram 1/48 P-47D Razorback
This latest build falls into Tom Cleaver's "Build them or Bin them" category. Just one of those models you pic up at a show for $5, I mean what the hey, it's a decent kit and it's only five bucks. So I started this little gem [...]
Back from the forgotten storage box: Monogram 1/48 Douglas C-47A Skytrain

Monogram's Liberator was built as a restoration challenge of a bargain kit that missed most of the transparent parts and others. In particular interest was forming the nose glass section. I borrowed from a friend the transparent tree [...]
Curse you Red Baron!
Atlantis re-pop of the classic Monogram kit. My wife got it for me for Christmas, what a fun build and trip down memory lane. I used aftermarket decals and hand painted the tail stripes rather than using the stickers
Two Monogram 1/48 Heinkel He-111H variants
The H variant was the most produced Heinkel He-111 aircraft and a diversified service carrier.
The night and torpedo variants are themes in Monogram's He-111 series. As a later Monogram model, it has recessed panel lines and is well [...]
Fifty years of service in the IDF: Monogram 1/48 C-47/DC-3
Three camouflage schemes characterize much of the Dakota (also in Hebrew) appearance in its long service since the War of Independence. The blue and brown scheme was introduced in the mid 50s. It was replaced by the multicolored version by [...]
1/48 Accurate Miniatures P-51C
Started in 23 but finally finished is my first completion in 2024. It is the old A/M P-51C kit which is a P-51B with the tail fillet joint. For some reason I seem to be concentrating on checker tail birds especially those from the 325th [...]
