P-38 Lightening
This is one of my first aircraft models. A couple weeks ago I was looking around on Imodler and decided that I wanted to build an aircraft. I chose the P-38 because it is my favorite WW2 plane. I originally thought I would have problems [...]

Started on this last year and finally got her done. Painted with AK real colors . I used the xrtradecals from the UK. One dullcoated i used a paper towel to buff the plan to get the finish various weather tones [...]
Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale Focke-Wulf Fw-190A-4 "Wurger"
This is my latest build. Finished it about a week ago, along with the Tamiya P-38, which I still need to run the aerials on.
Great kit, that really went together well. Excellent detail, throughout even if it is a little fiddley in [...]
P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit
This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]
P-38F Lightning, Moms favorite, 1/72 Hasegawa
Inspired by the recent P-38 builds of late, I acquired a vintage Hasegawa kit, where you have to do a little surgery on the nacelles to model the F version. Using a combo of spares and USAAF letters and number sheet from Microscale, I did [...]

1/72 Hasegawa P-38 Lightning “Yippee”
Lockheed painted their 5000th P-38 Lightning "Vermillion" red in 1944 and used it as a demonstrator for a short period. Perhaps this one of the first "Commemorative" paint schemes that are so prevalent these days with [...]
Tamiya P-38F
Here she is at last...life got in the way more than a few times since I started building this wonderful kit.
I added an Ultracast seat and wheels, Master barrels and antenna from spares box. Decals are from the Eduard kit (Academy mold) [...]
