Mini Hobby Models 1/48 Mil Mi-24P Hind
A re-box of Monogram-Revell mold. This basic kit is an old-time building experience with plenty of seams to seal. The cockpit is in dire need of replacement if one decides to have the access doors and panels open. The big canopy is not [...]
Monogram's 1/48 B-26 Marauder "Flak Bait"
I built this kit once back in 2017, only about a year into the hobby. So as you can imagine it was not that great. Since my skills have come along way since then it was time to replace the original with a new one. I regretted that [...]

My latest entry into the Good From Afar but Far From Good Collection: Monogram's AV-8B Harrier II, 1/48 scale.
Scratch built enhancements include the nose and main landing gear doors, auxiliary inlet door interiors, and lead wiring on the [...]
Crud crew bird, F-4J VF-31,1976. Monogram 1/72
One of the biggest concerns in naval aviation is corrosion of aircraft structures due to exposure to the sea air and back in the day the exhaust stacks of the fossil fueled carriers. Periodically an aircraft would be due for inspection and [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang
In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]
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.
I chose to [...]
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
The C-47 is the military development of the Douglas DC-3, the civil airliner that has been called “The Plane That Changed The World.” That is not hyperbole. The DC-3 was unlike any airplane that came before it. It gave airlines [...]
