This must be my third or fourth attempt at a 110G-4 Nightfighter in 1/48. Never been quite happy. Most have been Eduard kits with one Revell. This is the Eduard Profipack 110G-4 with the FUG 202 antenna. It is a model with a MG array in [...]
I know there are more modern kits of this version, however I had this in my stash and decided to build it. Surprisingly the Revell kit, despite its age, is still a very good kit.
I did some scratch built to improve the kit though, opened [...]
After building about twenty-eight 1/72nd WWII Aircraft, I am figuring that I’ll stick to this scale for a few more builds before going back to 1/48th scale. These little guys sure do fit on my shelves nicely.
This is my 11th HBoss Easy' [...]
The reputation of this kit proceeds itself. I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby, the box art caught my eye. That was when I was still fresh to the hobby, and didn't know how bad this kit was. Fortunately before I attempted it I [...]
I finished this kit a few years back. Simply said, it is no Tamiya! I have not built a lot of Dragon model kits, but what I have built have all had the same trait. Basically subcomponents or assemblies fit together well, but when you [...]

Added some air to air missiles. I know, there is no evidence to support these missiles on the aircraft. I had some left over and thought [...]
The P-61 has always been one of my favorite aircraft from WWII. When they first came out I built two of the Monogram kits and had a ball with them. I even put electric motors in one so that the props would spin. All in all I think the [...]
When I got back into modeling, I had been out for a long time and was amazed at what detail could be attained with resin. So of course I took a very good model the Tamiya He-219 Owl, and try and make it better. I used the Aires resin [...]
The first Bristol Beaufighter model I built was in the early 1970's when I was a teenager. It was 1:32 scale and I remembered that it didn't fit together very well. I recall painting the model entirely in black and even fabricated the [...]
As I've just joined iModeler, finding my way around, I like to share one of my recent builds.
Airfix introduced the new tooling for the Boulton Paul Defiant in 1:72 scale, and I allways had an intrest in this somewhat unusual fighter.
