Airfix Mustang and Eduard Typhoon 48 scale builds

I've just finished shooting the photos for these two builds which will be featured in Model Airplane International soon. They are the Airfix Mustang and Eduard Typhoon, both in 1:48. The Mustang has the excellent Eduard gun bay set in one [...]

Yes, Another Tamiya P51-D

I know, everybody has done one of these. I even have two others on my own shelves. But this one came about because I was cruising around looking at hobby stuff on eBay and I came across the Tennessee National Guard decals by Caracal [...]

“Let me at ’em”

Hi All, This vignette, “Let me at-em”, I completed about two years ago, portrays an excited trainee and an old-hand instructor just back from a training flight. The build includes the 1/32, Kitty Hawk, T-6 Texan kit, using the SNJ [...]

Kit Review: 1/32 scale P-51D-5NA Mustang, Revell of Germany, kit number 03944, Part 2

This is the second part of the kit review as promised earlier. This portion will cover the plastic parts of this big 1/32 scale "early" Mustang D model. Writing up a kit review is surprisingly easy. Now that Martin and his [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51 Mustang

Hello, This is my view of one famous "Blue Noser Bastard From Bodney". Neeedless to say the kit is superb, no need to use any putty at all. It seems, looking at the few pictures available, this particular bird was kept in good [...]

X-15-1 1/144 (Dragon)

This is my debut on iModeler: the North American X-15-1, by Dragon and me. This is also the first time I strayed form 1/72 scale. Not the last one. The model represents first produced (second flying) X-15 in its earliest stage of life. [...]

Airfix P-51D 1/48

First completion of 2019. Actually its been in process for awhile. The Airfix kit is well done with no flaws to mention. Airfix's color coded assembly instructions came in handy in a few steps though. I added an Eduard P-51D interior [...]

F-100D…Triple Zilch

Trumpeter 1/48 F-100D, S/N 63-000, Triple Zilch. This is one of the most iconic color schemes for the Super Sabre, and I know I won’t be the last to attempt it. This jet was the personal mount of USAF Col. Raymond F. Toliver, Commander [...]
