1/48 Monogram SNJ-6

First completed build of 2023 is a 1/48 Monogram SNJ-6 Navy trainer. 1950's markings from NAS Memphis. Overall the kit went together well and was fun to build. I built the kit out of the box with Caracal decals which were excellent. [...]

Eduard F4F-3 Wildcat, 1/48. 'The Navy's First Ace'

Following Eduard's amazing 2022 new tooling of the infamous A6M2, I eagerly looked forward to their rendition of the Wildcat and this kit certainly doesn't disappoint. Unsurprisingly the first Wildcat Eduard releases is the F4F-3, [...]

Zara passing Castello Aragonese Entering Taranto 1/350

A couple of years ago I won one of the monthly competitions here in imodeler. The prize was the Zara kit from Trumpeter, which I promised to build and post. Here it is! The scene is inspired by the great work of Lou Carabot. The kit is [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F-14A Tomcat

It's big, it doesn't fit into my display case. It's another US airplane. It's another dull, boring grey model. It's well aged... But it's Tomcat...you can't have a model collection without Tomcat! Few years back a bought an open [...]

Tamiya F4U-1C, 1/48. The Sky Pirates.

One omission from the plethora of Corsair models out there is the F4U-1C, in fact there isn't even a company that offers a resin conversion set for this type. Not wanting to miss out on the only -1 variant I haven't yet built I decided to [...]

Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. Ira Kepford's Jolly Roger.

I've always loved the Corsair, particularly the mid-war four-tone scheme, and last year I built my first one which was Tom Blackburn's 'Big Hog'. A year later I wanted to do a new Corsair because I felt my skills had improved and I wanted [...]

Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat - 1/72

This is one of the US-Navy cats that I like really more, due to its aggressive looking, powerful engine and operational history. The kit is the old Monogram released in 1976 in a new Revell box with new and good decals. Despite the quality [...]
