1/48 Czech Master North American FJ-1 Fury restored

Blowtorches at Sea: By 1944, the U.S. Navy was aware of what the USAAF and RAF were doing with the P-80 and Meteor projects, respectively, and knew as much as anyone did what was expected soon from the Germans. Having come up on the short [...]

Another save from the Garage of Doom

Plucked from the Garage of Doom before I spent much of yesterday fighting the (small, thank goodness) leaks in the garage revealed by the Big Winter Storm that hit us. Revell's F-86D Sabre kit(s) allow a modeler to do the early and late [...]

North American P-51C Mustang "Apache II" - USAAF 99th FS, 332nd FG Tuskegee AirmenRamitelli, Italiy 1944

Hello dear iModelers, Here I am back after long months of absence, with a P-51C "Red Tails" of the Tusgekee Airmen, and more precisely Apache II piloted by Lieutenant Henry "Herky" Perry. This is the Tamiya model, [...]

North American F-86D in 1/48 by Revell

Hi Folks! I just joint this community and thought I'd share one of my recent builds, the North American F-86D in 1/48 by Revell. It is the bir of Capt. A. G. Limpantsis 445th Fighter Interceptor Squadron Geiger AFB; Wa USA December [...]

Box Scale XB-70

B-25 B Airfix 1:72 Dolittle Ride

Once upon a time, when I was in elementary school, my favorite game was a strategy board game called Hell in the Pacific. Each player took the role of an air force commander and tried to destroy the enemy fleet, primarily aircraft [...]

Tamiya P-51D Mustang, 1/48. 'The Red Tails'.

A Mustang was an aircraft missing from my collection until a few months ago. I decided to go with Tamiya's rendition of the Mustang over Eduard's more detailed version as at the time I fancied a quick and simple build to get the creative [...]

1/32 Kittyhawk F-86D Sabre Dog

Finally finished after over a month of frustrating assembly and painting. This is the model I posted about a month ago in which I stated "was a total loss", but after taking a break I picked it up again and finished it. Many [...]

Silver Horse, and Fighting Rooster

I first encountered the Mustang model in the early nineties. It was an Airfix kit from the Aircraft of the aces series. Of course, then the model seemed to be perfect in its performance. I painted it with the usual Humbrol paints and a [...]

Mustang Tuskegee Airmen

Around a year ago I decided to build an Airfix 1/72 P-51 North American Mustang, it would be the third Mustang (all in 1/72 and all Airfix) in my collection but the first one with a lot of new things going on for it. When I returned back [...]
